Bruce Mouat's men's curling rink claimed Team GB's first medal of the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing by winning silver after narrowly losing 5-4 to Sweden in the gold medal match. Mouat, Bobby Lammie, Grant Hardie, Hammy McMillan Jr and alternate Ross Whyte matched the feat achieved by coach David Murdoch at Sochi 2014, the last medal won by Team GB's male curlers. Team Mouat topped the round robin stage and had a terrific week in the Ice Cube, coming into the final off the back of eight consecutive wins.
