Sweden’s brother-and-sister pair Rasmus and Isabella Wrana defeated the USA to win mixed doubles curling gold with the very last stone of a thrilling final, after Great Britain narrowly missed out on bronze in the third-place match.
Isabella Wrana, the star of the week, struck the winning blow to edge a tight battle 5-4 against the USA’s Korey Dropkin and Cory Thiesse. The USA settled for silver, having beaten reigning champions Italy 9-8 in the semi-finals.
Earlier, Team GB’s Bruce Mouat and Jennifer Dodds narrowly missed out on Olympic bronze as they were beaten 5-3 by Italy. Mouat and Dodds also finished fourth in the Beijing Olympics four years ago.
Elsewhere, US skier Lindesy Vonn issued an update on her condition from hospital after suffering a broken leg in Sunday’s downhill crash just nine days after she ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
Late on Monday, the 41-year-old wrote on Instagram that she has “no regrets” about competing even though her “Olympic dream did not finish the way I dreamt it would”.

Winter Olympics 2026 medal table: Full standings as wait continues for Team GB
19:10 , Chris WilsonNorway are historically the most successful nation in the Winter Games and the Norwegians are once again favourites to top the medal table, having claimed 16 golds in Beijing four years ago, four more than second-placed Germany.
The USA are expected to put up a strong challenge to Norway’s dominance, while Germany and Canada are also expected to enjoy plenty of success. Host nation Italy are also hopeful of a top-10 finish in the standings, as are their Alpine neighbours France and Switzerland.
Britain have set a target of winning four to eight medals this time around, which would be a huge improvement on a disappointing haul of only two in China in 2022.
Here are the latest standings from Milan-Cortina 2026:

Old ghosts haunt Mouat and Dodds as Olympic mixed doubles medal eludes them
19:00 , Chris WilsonHistory repeated itself in brutal fashion for mixed doubles curlers Bruce Mouat and Jennifer Dodds, who lost the bronze medal match for a second Olympics in succession.
The pair swept through the round-robin stage, winning eight of their nine matches, and were the top seeds heading into the all-important knockouts.
But that excellent form deserted the 2021 world champions at the worst possible time. First came a 9-3 hammering at the hands of Sweden’s Rasmus and Isabella Wranaa, who they had beaten 7-4 in the round robin, in Monday’s semi-final.

Sweden win Mixed Doubles curling final!
18:53 , Chris Wilson
Sweden win Mixed Doubles curling final!
18:49 , Chris Wilson“Sweden didn't start the tournament well but they've just grown and grown. We've got to give all the kudos to Isabella Wrana,” says four-time Olympic curler Jackie Lockhart on BBC.
“She [Wrana] has been absolutely fantastic. There is applause from the US team. They were outplayed but Isabella Wrana has stood tall and strong,” added commentator Steve Cram.
Sweden win Mixed Doubles curling final!
18:45 , Chris WilsonDropkin’s last stone, and it slides by the button but settles outside! “Ah, shoot!” he says as he looks to the sky.
Rasmus Wrana has his final shot next before his sister and Thiesse take the final shots of the final end. He lands in the house but not in scoring range (yet anyway).
What can Thiesse serve up with the final shot for the US?
It doesn’t fall well, leaving two Swedish reds inside the house alongside just one American yellow.
So, can Isabella Wrana take two to win it for Sweden?
She can! SWEDEN WIN GOLD!
The final shot takes the US stone out of the house and Sweden wrap up the gold!
Mixed Doubles curling final: USA 5-4 Sweden
18:38 , Chris WilsonInto the eighth and final end then, and Sweden have the hammer.
Thiesse brings her first stone on point into the button, though Wrana follows up by doing the same.
Second shot from Thiesse lands a little short but it’s in the house after some great sweeping from Dropkin.
Rasmus Wrana lands his first shot alongside Thiesse’s stone.
Dropkin up again with the third shot for the US. 2:15 on the shot clock...the stone knocks one red away but does the other red stone a favour.
How can Sweden respond with their third shot? They have a little more time on the clock. Wrana looks to set it up for his sister, and covers their stone in the button.
It’s finely poised!
Mixed Doubles curling final: USA 5-4 Sweden
18:29 , Chris WilsonThe US use their power play in the seventh and final end.
Not great on the first shots but Sweden get into the button before Wrana knocks out a US stone.
The US reply but taking the Swedish stone out of the button, though Wrana can’t reply with their penultimate shot.
Dropkin produces a great penultimate shot to knock Sweden out of the house ahead of the final shots.
Isabella Wrana replies by knocking two yellow stones out of the house though!
Thiesse with the final stone of the seventh end...she knocks out that final Swedish stone and the US take two points!
Into the lead ahead of the last end!
Mixed Doubles curling final: USA 3-4 Sweden
18:17 , Chris WilsonSweden have the hammer again and the power play is on in the sixth end.
Both in the house but nothing in the button after the first three shots.
Much more tactical once again, each side knocking the other out as they come into their final two shots.
USA trying to limit Sweden’s options with their final shot, Thiesse finding the button to make it interesting.
But Sweden get in by a few centimetres to take a single point!
Mixed Doubles curling final: USA 3-3 Sweden
18:05 , Chris WilsonThe USA have the hammer as play resumes.
They have an early advantage in this fifth end, with Sweden trying to limit the scoring early on.
The US look like they’ll settle for one as Wrana goes for another protective shot on the final stone.
It’s a great final attempt from the US but they take a single point.
Mixed Doubles curling final: USA 2-3 Sweden
17:50 , Chris WilsonBoth in the button after two shots on the fourth end, though a better shot from Dropkin knocks out the Swedish for now.
The US knock everyone out of the button with their penultimate shot, and Wranaa gets back in but not before the US knock her out with their final shot.
All up to Wranaa now as Sweden look for a single score...
...nicely done, curled in to settle for a one-point lead at the halfway point!
Mixed Doubles curling final: USA 2-2 Sweden
17:38 , Chris WilsonA bit more of a chess match in this next leg. A great first shot from Thiesse knocks Sweden out of the button, but the next few shots are all tactical, trying to prevent takeouts.
Well-placed from Thiesse to squeeze between two stones to open up a chance to land another shot in.
Sweden’s penultimate shot is another tactical effort, closing the gap that Thiesse had just found. They seem happy to concede just the one.
Nothing changes with the penultimate shot from the US, so it all comes down to the final two efforts.
Not the best from Sweden but the US could squeeze another though here...they don’t.
One for the US!
Mixed Doubles curling final: USA 1-2 Sweden
17:26 , Chris WilsonEven closer in the second round, with Sweden in possession of the hammer.
Four stones in the button coming up to the last shots – two stones each.
The US are up first with their final shot...they try to protect, though they’ll likely have to concede one point anyway.
But a superb shot from Isabella Wranaa means Sweden go 2-1 up! Curled brilliantly to rest just off the centre of the button.
Mixed Doubles curling final: USA 1-0 Sweden
17:14 , Chris WilsonThe first five stones are practically in a straight line, so Dropkin uses the third shot to take some red stones out.
Sweden reply with a couple of protective stones and the US will need to do something pretty special here to take a score.
But they manage it! Plenty of cheers as a smart shot sees the US into a 1-0 lead.
Mixed Doubles curling final: USA vs Sweden
17:09 , Chris WilsonWe’re underway! A lovely first shot from Isabella Wranaa to get right into the centre of the button, and Thiesse answers with a good effort that is swept well by Dropkin just into the button.
Mixed Doubles curling final: USA vs Sweden
17:01 , Chris WilsonWe’ll be underway in the next five minutes or so in the mixed doubles final.
As a reminder, the Swedish brother-sister pairing of Isabella and Rasmus Wranå will take on USA’s Korey Dropkin and Cory Thiesse.
A reminder that the game between these two in the round robin ended 8-7 to Team USA.

Winter Olympics curse strikes again for US skier after Lindsey Vonn’s horror crash
16:14 , Jamie BraidwoodThe notorious fourth gate at the Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre once again proved a formidable obstacle during Tuesday’s Olympic women’s combined event, just days after a devastating crash involving American star Lindsey Vonn.
For teammate Bella Wright, the troublesome gate brought an abrupt end to her portion of the team combined competition.
Aiming for a more aggressive line than her 21st-place downhill finish, Wright pushed closer to the gate on the technically demanding upper section of the 2,572-metre course. This decision led to a momentary loss of balance in the air.
While she avoided a crash, Wright couldn’t recover in time, veering offline and skiing left of the subsequent gate. Her run ended at the same spot as Vonn’s, though thankfully without injury.

Mikaela Shiffrin misses out on first Olympic medal since 2018 with fourth in Alpine combined
15:59 , Mike JonesMikaela Shiffrin’s wait for Olympic redemption goes on as she failed to make the podium in the first of her events at this year’s Games, the Alpine combined.
The American was the last skier to go in the slalom section of the two-leg team event, after world and newly crowned Olympic champion Breezy Johnson put her in pole position with a dominant downhill run.

ICYMI: Vonn has ‘no regrets’ despite Olympics crash leaving her needing surgery
15:44 , Jamie BraidwoodLindsey Vonn insists she has “no regrets” following the crash at the women’s downhill in the Winter Olympics which leaves her facing “multiple surgeries”.
Vonn, 41, damaged her ACL just over a week before the event at the Tofane Alpine Skiing Centre, but after successfully completing two practice runs of the Cortina course, Vonn was the 13th starter in the competition.
However, Vonn clipped a gate and crashed just seconds into her run, with a helicopter airlifting her off the mountain before she later underwent surgery on a broken leg in a hospital in Treviso.
Vonn insisted her ACL had “nothing to do with my crash whatsoever”.

How bronze slipped away from Team GB
15:32 , Flo CliffordItaly, the reigning champions went 3-1 up by the half-way stage, and although GB kept themselves in contention with another point in the fifth end, the Italians stayed one step ahead.
Constantini again threw an excellent stone as the last shot of the fifth end to keep their two-point cushion, and Britain responded by calling the power play in the seventh.
One point in that end kept them within touching distance but crucially meant they conceded the hammer for the final end, and with Italy calling the power play, it proved a step too far for the British pair.
Mouat and Dodds cut tearful figures afterwards, while there was jubilation for Constantini and Mosaner, and the heavily partisan Cortina crowd.

Mouat: 'To leave with the same result is going to hurt for a bit'
15:10 , Jamie Braidwood“We played so much better than we did four years ago and to leave with the same result is going to hurt for a bit. Both of us are pretty resilient people and we fought for everything this week and just extremely proud of us.
”Like we spoke last night, just saying how lucky we are to be able to play at the Olympics with your best mate, and like just two people that grew up together curling, never really knew where we could go with it, and to get here it's been pretty special with Jen.
“I'm obviously really gutted, but just very proud of us for sticking at it.”
'So close and yet so far': Emotional Dodds tears up after defeat
14:59 , Jamie Braidwood“So close, but so far. Hurts the same as four years ago, really. I don't want to ugly cry, so I'm just going to stop there,” says a teary Jennifer Dodds after a second fourth placed finish in the curling doubles.
”I feel like there's been a few 4th places for Team GB over the last couple of days, and, hey, that shows how close we are in so many events.
“I just want to say a huge thank you to the National Lottery as well. We wouldn't be able to play a sport we love together without them.”
Italy beat Great Britain 5-3 in bronze medal match
14:51 , Mike JonesTriumph for Italy, heartbreak for Great Britain.
GB 3-5 Italy
14:42 , Mike JonesStefania Constantini needs to bump the red of Dodds backwards.
If she gets it right, she wins the bronze...
Constantini has pure focus once again. It’s a clean release and flies towards the red.
She knocks it out of the way and leaves the yellow in the middle!
It’s one point for Italy, but more than that it is a bronze medal!
GB 3-4 Italy*
14:40 , Mike JonesMouat now needs to switch tactics. He tries to roll the red into the remaining yellow and freezes it on the corner.
Mosaner is prepared to take it on but hits the guard!
Chance for GB?
Jen Dodds has the final stone of this match and has to get this close to the centre.
It’ll come down to Stefania Constantini’s final stone.
GB 3-4 Italy*
14:38 , Mike JonesBruce Mouat replaces the centre guard for GB and Mosaner deals with it without fuss or issue.
Britain can’t keep setting up guards but they can do so once more before they need to switch tactics.
Mouat nurses the stone back into the middle and leaves it well placed.
Mosaner once again tries to smash the red away, he nails it again!
GB 3-4 Italy*
14:36 , Mike JonesOne end to play. All Italy need to do is stop GB from scoring.
Italy use their powerplay to move the two placed stones off centre.
Jen Dodds begins by placing a guard down the middle.
Constantini’s response is to nudge the guard away and open up the middle. She does so.
GB 3-4 Italy*
14:33 , Mike JonesCan Dodds do it?
She needs to ricochet off her own red and shoot across the side to take out the other yellow...
... it fails! Not horrendously but enough for Italy to only give up one point.
Britain trail 3-4 with one end to play and Italy have the hammer.
*GB 2-4 Italy
14:32 , Mike JonesHow will Constantini play this?
That steely focus is in the eyes once more. She needs a good line and a good weight.
As she releases she calls for Mosaner to sweep. It’s a little short but GB are debating whether they can score four here.
This stone from Jen Dodds could decide who wins the bronze medal...
*GB 2-4 Italy
14:30 , Mike JonesAnother big shot for Amos Mosaner.
He’s trying to freeze the left red in the house. It’s a decent effort and Italy lie two but there is a chance for GB to bump the yellow away.
Mouat is going to take the chance.
Dodds calls away to him and Mouat likes the weight of the stone.
Both left hand reds are in play and it leaves Constantini with a tough freeze to stay above them.
*GB 2-4 Italy
14:27 , Mike JonesMouat sets up again and leaves his next stone just ahead of the left side yellow. GB are well placed to score a couple of points here.
So much so that Italy call a timeout to see how they can handle this situation.
There’s two stones left for each team in this end.
*GB 2-4 Italy
14:25 , Mike JonesTwo ends to go and GB need to win both ends or an end where they score big points.
GB are defensive in the opening stages of this end and place guards over on the left side.
Mouat comes down the middle and curls to the right, nestling up against the right side yellow.
Mosaner has a tricky shot to come, driving one of the reds back to upset how many are in play...
... he nails it! Both reds are fizzed out of the rings!
*GB 2-4 Italy
14:22 , Mike JonesMosaner blitzes his final stone of the end and hits the front stone but leaves GB sitting two up.
Jen Dodds just needs to roll a stone into the centre and sit three up.
She likes it but there’s enough of a gap for Italy to curl one in and steal a point.
It has to be a perfect shot from Stefania Constantini....
... and it is!
Wonderful from the Italian. Curling in from the right, encouraging it to keep coming, Mosaner sweeps and sweeps.
The yellow bounces off the back red and Italy take the point!
GB 2-3 Italy*
14:17 , Mike JonesFull power!
Mouat puts in another guard and Mosaner tries to drive it back with a second attempt.
He smokes it away and leaves the circle open for GB.
It seems tough for GB to take point from this end. The duo take a timeout and call over the coach to discuss the next shot.
The decision seems to be for Mouat to push out one of the yellows and sit two up. Can he pull it off?
Yes! Just about. GB are lie two and it’s tough to knock the reds away.
GB 2-3 Italy*
14:13 , Mike JonesConstantini’s stone is an attempt to push the red out a little but doesn’t manage it quite so well.
That opens the possibility for Mouat to weight that same red back towards the placed yellow. It’s a good shot from the Scot.
Especially so after Mosaner is slightly off with his accuracy at taking out the guard.
It’s almost a wasted shot as he doesn’t collide with any of the other reds which was the aim.
GB 2-3 Italy*
14:11 , Mike JonesThree ends to play, Italy have the hammer and have a one point lead. It’s all going in favour of the world and Olympic champions.
Can Great Britain make a comeback?
Jen Dodds releases the first stone of the sixth end and rolls her stone in behind the guard and leaves it at the top of the green circle.
GB 2-3 Italy*
14:09 , Mike JonesConstantini has a tricky shot to pass the yellow guard and push the her top yellow in between GB’s two lying reds.
It’s a difficult shot and high risk, high reward.
The Italian slowly releases and looks very keen. She manages to knock one of the reds away!
It loks like GB are lying but it’s close.
Dodds just throws the final stone away and takes the one point.
*GB 1-3 Italy
14:05 , Mike JonesThe yellow at the top seems to be the target for Mosaner.
He wants to clip and nudge it into the middle. ‘Pronto’ is the call from Constantini and he pushes it slightly forward.
Two stones to go for GB. Mouat comes down the right side once more.
He curls the stone into the outside red and knocks it into the middle. GB lie two up!
*GB 1-3 Italy
14:02 , Mike JonesLovely! Bruce Mouat almost knackers himself out sweeping his stone hard.
He knocks his own red into the lying yellow and sandwiches it. GB lie one up.
Mosaner tries something similar but doesn’t get the best of connections onto his own yellow meaning it can be moved away.
Mouat does just that!
Curling in from the right, listening to the calls of Dodds, the red clips the yellow and pushes it into the open. There’s plenty of stones clustered together and Italy need to come up with a plan here.
*GB 1-3 Italy
13:59 , Mike JonesItaly have won the first half of this bronze medal match. They’ve taken a point in three of the four ends with Team GB only managing one point in reply.
GB have the hammer in this fifth end and need to come back from two points down.
Constantini is pinpoint with her first stone once again. She’s in the zone and putting pressure on the Brits.
Dodds responds with a decent stone. The line is perfect and finishes right behind the guard but it’s slightly too high up.
Mosaner’s first stone of the end is curled in to sit on top of the red just in side the green area and he lands it well.
*GB 1-3 Italy
13:53 , Mike JonesConstantini delivers the final stone of the end of Italy. She’s tasked to set up another guard to replace the one GB just took out.
It’s a decent result and leaves Dodds with a decision. Can she take out the middle yellow?
It’s a take out attempt. Dodds clatters into the guard just set, knocks it back and clatters it into the clustered stones.
One of the yellows glides away but Italy still take the point!
It’s only one so the damage is limited from a tough end. Halfway through this match and the world champions league 3-1.
*GB 1-2 Italy
13:49 , Mike JonesMouat tries to displace the sitting yellow and doesn’t catch it correctly.
Instead he embeds the yellow in the centre circle and puts the Italians on top.
Mosaner adds to the pressure by curling in from the right to set another guard and stop Mouat from a take out.
What can GB do here?
There’s a discussion and they decide to take out the just placed guard. Mouat has a go, there’s plenty of pace and he he knocks it away.
Italy are still one up.
*GB 1-2 Italy
13:45 , Mike JonesMosaner takes on the red from Dodds and knocks it into the open.
Mouat’s response is to nudge that yellow, curling towards it from the right, and he eases it further away to put GB back in control.
They’re lying one up.
Mosaner is quickly up and lets his yellow curl back in from the same line as before. He finishes it in the centre circle and leaves a cluster of three yellows but only one of them is scoring.
*GB 1-2 Italy
13:42 , Mike JonesOne end to go before the halfway point in this bronze medal clash.
Britain have the hammer again.
Constantini delivers the first stone and looks to set up the end. She does wonderfully and leaves her stone just ahead of GB’s placed red.
In reply, Jen Dodds releases down the right side and calls for a touch more curl.
She does well enough to clip the Italian stone and lie one.
*GB 1-2 Italy
13:40 , Mike JonesNice! Dodds finds the right line and judges the pace well enough to nestle her red up against the back yellow and leaves her own closest to the centre.
Constantini has one stone to come.
She comes in from the right and rolls up to Dodds’ stone to take a point.
A tactical end. Italy lead 2-1.
GB 1-1 Italy*
13:37 , Mike JonesGB have been given a lifeline after that stone from Mosaner.
Mouat’s final stone in the third end is sent down the left and bounces off his own red to spin into the centre circle leaving GB lying one.
Mosaner responds with a take out... and nails it!
He scatters two yellows and three reds leaving two yellows lying up.
GB are looking at losing at least two points here unless Dodds can pull something out of the hat.
GB 1-1 Italy*
13:34 , Mike JonesGood shot from Mouat. He nudges Constantini’s yellow back towards the back of the green circle.
In response, Mosaner comes down the left and curls his first effort into the green area and just touching the centre circle.
Mouat, needing displace the yellow, curls in from the opposite side. There needs to be a bit more pace but there’s enough contact to nudge the stone back.
Italy having the hammer could be key here.
Mosaner leaves his second attempt too short!
GB 1-1 Italy*
13:31 , Mike JonesItaly have the hammer in this third end and they look to roll the first stone up to the placed yellow at the back of the green circle.
It’s slightly off line from Dodds and allows Constantini to ignore it and place her first effort right into the centre circle.
Advantage Italy you’d say.
*GB 1-1 Italy
13:29 , Mike JonesConstantini is so focused on this stone. Her eyes doggedly gripped on the target.
She nestles up to Mouat’s last stone and leaves GB sitting lying one.
Can Dodds roll in another one and increase the points won in this end?
Italy seem content to give one point away to win the hammer.
Dodds forcefully comes down the right and ricochets of her own red sitting to the right of the centre.
She nudges one of the yellows out of the way but can’t get her stone to finish alongside the lying red. That means GB only take one point from the end.
All square in the match though.
*GB 0-1 Italy
13:25 , Mike JonesGood shot! Amos Mosaner has curled three fine stones in this end.
He comes down the left side again and brushes his stone right into the middle of the centre circle.
Can Mouat nestle up against that stone?
He tries to. Encouraged by Dodds to brush, Mouat finds the correct line, brushes into the yellow and lies proud.
A fine response from the Scot.
*GB 0-1 Italy
13:23 , Mike JonesThere’s a loud cheer from the home fans as Mosaner curls his stone in behind GB’s top red and partially covers it.
It’ll be a tricky one to displace without affecting their own stones.
Mouat decides to try and take it out. He plays a decent stone and gets enough of a clip on the yellow stone to knock it behind the top red.
Italy are still in pole position but GB have the last stone and can affect this end.
Two stones each to send down.
*GB 0-1 Italy
13:20 , Mike JonesDodds and Mouat are in full conversation over this next shot.
Mosaner’s first stone of the end didn’t displace Dodds’ previous red enough.
That allows Mouat to curl in from the left and force a yellow out of scoring range leaving two reds sitting.
Italy have some thinking to do on how to play this.
*GB 0-1 Italy
13:18 , Mike JonesThe good news for GB is that they will have the last stone again in this end.
There was a chance to win three points but too much sweeping meant Dodds clipped her own stone.
In this end, Constantini curls her first effort in behind her own guard and just into the green circle.
Dodds follows her in with a similar line and leaves her stone just behind Italy’s.
*GB 0-1 Italy
13:15 , Mike JonesConstantini comes back to release the final stone. She glides it down the right side and nudges up against Mouat’s red.
The stone finishes in the centre of the circle but there’s a chance for Dodds to push the yellow out.
A tricky shot but possible...
... Dodds aims down the left and is vocal to Mouat. He’s sweeping hard but the stone clips one of GB’s reds and doesn’t displace the yellow!
Italy take the first point of the match.
GB 0-0 Italy
13:12 , Mike JonesThree stones each into the first end and Team GB, thanks to Mouat, have one red stone close to the centre.
Mosaner’s final stone is sent down the left side and he sweeps it nicely past Mouat’s sitting red to nestle it up against one of his own yellows.
Mouat will try to emulate that now...
... he does! GB remain one stone to the good with two stones to go in the first end.
GB 0-0 Italy
13:09 , Mike JonesNice!
As Amos Mosaner swings a second stone nicely into the centre, Bruce Mouat is forced to fire down an aggressive fizzing stone.
He connects with both yellows, knocks one out of play and one slightly further from the centre.
A decent stone.
GB 0-0 Italy
13:08 , Mike JonesStefania Constantini sets off with the first stone and curls is wonderfully around her blocker and rolls it wonderfully into home.
Jen Dodds’ follow up finishes on the outer ring and blocks of that route to the centre.

Mia Brookes misses out on big air glory - but she will be back for medals
10:40 , Mike JonesMia Brookes went down fighting as she narrowly missed out on Great Britain's first medal of the Milan and Cortina Winter Olympics in the women's snowboard Big Air at Livigno Snow Park.
Starting her last of three runs in third place, Brookes went for broke and came agonisingly close to becoming the first female athlete to land a backside 1620 in competition.
But Brookes slightly over-rotated and was penalised for her landing, meaning she slipped a position behind winner Kokomo Murase of Japan, New Zealander Zio Sadowski Synnott and Seungeun Yu of South Korea.
It marked another near-miss on a day that had promised so much for Team GB, with Kirsty Muir earlier also taking fourth place in the women's ski slopestyle final.
