Rhona Martin was the first to hug Bruce Mouat and his history boys after they secured at least Olympic silver and a shot at emulating the Stone of Destiny.
Curling fate is knocking at the door of Mouat, Grant Hardie, Bobby Lammie and Hammy McMillan and now it comes against Sweden in Saturday’s gold medal match.
A topsy-turvy 8-4 triumph over USA guaranteed Team GB a medal and ensured, 90 hours before the end of the Games, that Britain won’t come home from Beijing empty-handed.
