Unbeaten Dominance Takes Over Milano Cortina

Great Britain’s mixed doubles curling team has become the class of the competition at the 2026 Winter Olympics. After four days of round-robin play, Dodds and Mouat remain perfect with no losses. Every other team in the field has suffered at least two defeats, creating a significant gap between first and second place.

The pair’s performance has been remarkable in consistency and precision. They deliver strong shots under pressure and capitalize on opponent mistakes. This level of play has caught the attention of curling analysts worldwide.

Saturday’s Dominant Display Against Two Strong Teams

On Saturday, February 7, Great Britain delivered two impressive victories in the same session. Against Canada, they won 7-5 after jumping to a quick lead. The Dodds and Mouat partnership executed takeouts perfectly and managed the later ends with excellent strategy. Jocelyn Peterman and Brett Gallant fought hard but could not catch up.

The afternoon clash against the United States proved even more significant. Great Britain overcame Team USA’s strong sweeping efforts to win 6-4. Cory Thiesse and Korey Dropkin had been undefeated until this loss. The British pair’s composure in critical moments sealed the outcome.

Team	Wins	Losses
Great Britain	7	0
Italy	4	2
United States	4	2
Sweden	4	3

Italy and the United States share second place with 4-2 records. Only four teams sit above .500 winning percentage. The battle for the remaining three semifinal spots has become intense. Every team outside the top four is mathematically still alive for qualification.

“It’s a nice spot to be in after the seven games. I think we had to wait until the last round-robin game last time to qualify, so this time we know it’s a nice spot, but we’ve still got two really tough opponents, and we want to continue our momentum heading into the semis.”

Critical Moments That Built the Perfect Record

Mouat highlighted the sixth end in the USA matchup as crucial to victory. Great Britain scored a critical single point with the hammer when the pressure was high. This one-point lead proved decisive down the stretch.

Against Canada, the British pair dominated the early stages, establishing a 5-1 lead through the third end. Although Canada rallied with a power play steal, Great Britain sealed the match by running Peterman and Gallant out of stones in the ninth.

What Will It Take for Great Britain to Stay Unbeaten?

Two critical matches remain in the round-robin before the Monday, February 9 semifinals. Great Britain faces Switzerland and Italy on Sunday, February 8. Both opponents will provide stiff competition and represent the final hurdles before clinching gold medal contention. Maintaining focus and executing under pressure will be essential for the undefeated team.

Sources confirm that maintaining victory margins and avoiding costly mistakes will be key. Every game at the Olympic level requires full concentration. Mouat’s statement shows the team knows finals success comes after the semifinal round.
