Men’s curling team will attempt to rescue Winter Olympics for Britain

BRUCE MOUAT’S men’s curling team continued their march into the Winter Olympic semi-finals and vowed to be the people to end two weeks of hurt and save the Games for Great Britain.

A comfortable 8-6 win over the Russian Olympic Committee ensured Mouat’s men will head into today’s final round-robin match against Canada knowing another win would put them at the top of the standings.

And, with a semi-final this morning already guaranteed, the buoyant quartet are willing to rise to the challenge of claiming the first medal of an increasingly disappointing experience for the nation in Beijing.
