- USA beaten 8-4 to guarantee GB first Olympic medal in Beijing
- Mouat’s ‘scream at the end was a release of tension and pressure’
It has taken them nearly a fortnight. But after a few painful failures, and plenty of frustration, Team GB finally have their first guaranteed medal of these Winter Olympics.
It came via the British men’s curlers, who beat the US team 8-4 in a nervy semi-final that was only resolved in the 10th and final end. The quartet, who will now leave Beijing with at least a silver medal, will now take on Sweden in Saturday’s final.
