GB Men's Curling Team Advances to Semi-Finals
Team GB's men's curling squad is now just two wins away from securing a remarkable Winter Olympic gold medal after advancing to the semi-finals on Thursday in Cortina.
Led by Bruce Mouat, the world champion team faced a potential early exit following their penultimate round-robin match loss to Canada. However, a decisive victory over the United States on Wednesday, combined with favorable outcomes in other matches, renewed their chances of progressing.
Italy's defeat to Switzerland on Thursday morning confirmed that the British rink would move forward to the last four at 18:05 GMT. The identity of their opponents remains to be determined.
If the Scottish quartet wins their semi-final match, they will compete in Saturday's final at 18:05 GMT, guaranteeing at least a silver medal, matching their achievement from Beijing four years ago. A loss in the semi-final would lead them to contest the bronze medal match on Friday at 18:05 GMT.
