Ice-cool curler Bruce Mouat insists he will not wilt in the heat of Beijing battle as he prepares to serve up a slice of British Olympic history.
Mouat and Jennifer Dodds will become the first ever Team GB curlers to compete in the mixed doubles event on Wednesday when they clash with Sweden in one of the first event of the Games.
Mouat, 27, and Dodds, 30, were crowned world champions in the discipline last year and arrive in the Chinese capital as one of Britain’s chief medal hopes after a searing year on the circuit.
