Winter Olympics 2022 schedule today – Wednesday 2nd February
Curling: Mixed Doubles
From 12:05pm
Winter Olympics curling gold medallist Rhona Howie:
“This event is hard because they’ve not had as many mixed doubles competitions. Since Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat won the worlds, they’ve only played in two events together with the COVID restrictions. The good thing with Jen and Bruce, they know each other so well, they grew up together in Edinburgh. That dynamic they have from childhood will help them greatly because they know each other so well.
“Bruce has a real calming influence and they just play away, there’s no stress and they help each other. It’s the first time Team GB have been in the Olympics mixed doubles and I’ve got high hopes.”
