Canada Defeats Great Britain 9-6 to Reclaim Olympic Men's Curling Gold

The win ends Canada's 12-year wait for the men's curling title.

Overview

  • Skip Brad Jacobs delivered a decisive three in the penultimate end to put Canada ahead 8-6.
  • Canada secured its first Olympic men's curling gold since Sochi 2014.
  • Great Britain took silver for the third time in four Games and remains without a men's title since 1924.
  • The tournament drew scrutiny over double-touch infractions, including Oskar Eriksson's accusation against Marc Kennedy and a judged double-touch on Bobby Lammie earlier in GB's run.
  • Britain could not force an extra end as Canada closed out the 10th with composure in Cortina d'Ampezzo.
