SUMMARY:Curling Men's Gold Medal Game - Milano Cortina 2026
DESCRIPTION:Canada won the men’s curling gold medal at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics\, beating Great Britain 9-6 in the final at the Cortina Olympic Curling Stadium on Saturday 21 February 2026. Skip Brad Jacobs added a second Olympic gold medal to the one he claimed at Sochi 2014\, joining Sweden’s Anette Norberg as the only curlers to have skipped two Olympic-winning rinks. \nWhat is Olympic Men’s Curling?\nOlympic men’s curling is contested by ten national teams over a round robin followed by a knockout playoff. Each team has four players (lead\, second\, third and skip) who take turns delivering stones across the ice in ten-end games. Points are scored for having stones closer to the centre of the target\, known as the house\, than any of the opposing team’s stones at the end of each end. \nMatches are scheduled for ten ends and can run to an extra end if tied. Curling has been a full Olympic medal sport since Nagano 1998. \nWhen did the Gold Medal Game Take Place?\nThe men’s final was held on Saturday 21 February 2026\, with stones thrown in the afternoon session at Cortina. Bronze was decided earlier the same day. \nWhere was it Held?\nThe Cortina Olympic Curling Stadium hosted all curling events at Milano Cortina 2026. The venue is located in Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Dolomites\, which previously hosted Olympic events at the 1956 Games. \nResults\nCanada’s rink of Brad Jacobs\, Marc Kennedy\, Brett Gallant and Ben Hebert beat Great Britain 9-6 to win gold. Bruce Mouat’s British team\, the reigning world champions\, battled to the final ends but could not overcome a mid-game Canadian run. Sweden took bronze by beating Norway. \nGold for Canada. Silver for Great Britain. Bronze for Sweden. \nBackground and Form Going In\nBritain’s Bruce Mouat arrived as world champion and Olympic silver medallist from Beijing 2022\, aiming to upgrade to gold. Canada had qualified with Jacobs skipping a reconstituted rink after Kevin Koe and Brad Gushue narrowly missed Olympic selection. Sweden’s Niklas Edin\, the 2022 gold medallist\, was chasing a final Olympic medal before retirement. Norway’s Magnus Ramsfjell and Switzerland’s Yannick Schwaller completed the pre-Games contenders. \nHistory and Records\nCanada has now won four Olympic men’s curling gold medals\, more than any other country. Jacobs’s second title\, twelve years after his first\, is a record gap between golds for a curling skip. Great Britain’s silver was their second consecutive in the men’s event after Beijing 2022. \nHow to Watch (Replays)\nMatch replays are available on olympics.com\, BBC iPlayer in the United Kingdom\, CBC in Canada\, NBC and Peacock in the United States\, and the World Curling Federation’s YouTube channel. \nFrequently Asked Questions\nWho won gold in men’s curling at Milano Cortina 2026?\nCanada\, beating Great Britain 9-6 in the final. \nWhen was the gold medal game played?\nSaturday 21 February 2026 at the Cortina Olympic Curling Stadium. \nWho skipped the winning Canadian team?\nBrad Jacobs\, who also skipped Canada to gold at Sochi 2014. \nWho won bronze?\nSweden\, skipped by Niklas Edin.
