Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds made it four wins from four in the curling mixed doubles preliminaries with a controlled 7-4 victory over Sweden.
The British pair took the lead in the first end and never relinquished it against sibling duo Isabella and Rasmus Wranaa to continue their dream start to the competition, which also included a photo opportunity with Snoop Dogg.
Team GB raced into a 4-0 lead after just two ends after taking three against the hammer in the second, a buffer that ultimately proved pivotal.
Sweden looked to chip away at the deficit but missed chances to score big as Isabella Wranaa struggled with her draw weight.
What a performance!! Four wins from four for Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds! 🥌

That left Team GB with a 7-4 lead heading into the final end and Mouat and Dodds were able to consistently clear stones from the house to leave Sweden unable to score the three they needed to force an extra end.
“We knew we were going to need a sharp start this morning, they were world champions two years ago,” said Dodds.
“We put them under a bit of pressure early on, got that four-point lead, and controlled the game from there.
“This is better than four years ago. Very happy with the position we are in.”
Mouat and Dodds made the perfect start to proceedings, with Dodds perfectly slotting a stone through a gap to take one from the opening end.
They then seized the momentum in the second by stealing three against the hammer, as Isabella Wranaa’s final draw fell short of the house.
Sweden responded with two in the next end, and another to reduce the arrears to a single point.
But Team GB pushed back out again, taking two when there was a chance for three, before Sweden also passed up a chance for three with another draw that fell short.
Mouat and Dodds then used their powerplay and while they only took one, it was enough to push out to a three-point lead.
That proved too much for the Wranaa siblings, with Mouat and Dodds able to clear their stones from the house to make an extra end impossible.
“Can you say you won pretty? It was a lot better from myself,” said Mouat.
“I am just happy that we are now putting some shots back-to-back and making our opponents play some tough shots.”
There were plenty of eyes on Mouat and Dodds, who are looking to at least one better than their agonising fourth-place finish at Beijing 2022.
The raucous crowd in Livigno included Snoop Dogg, with the rap superstar even asking Mouat and Dodds for a picture.
“We saw him at half time,” said Mouat. “We saw he was sat next to Cory [Thiesse]’s mum. He asked for a photo with us, so I am feeling pretty good about myself.”
