Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds just missed out on a medal in Beijing four years ago

Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat spurned the chance to guarantee Team GB's first medal of the 2026 Winter Olympics - and stirred up bad memories of missing out four years ago - in a surprise 9-3 mixed doubles curling semi-final defeat by Sweden.
