‘Top-tier’ Scotland beat Swiss to take historic World Curling gold
BBC REPORT: ‘Bruce Mouat’s “amazing” Scotland secured the World Men’s Curling Championship title for a second time in historic fashion after a dramatic 5-4 victory over Switzerland in Moose Jaw, Canada.
The Scots had to confirm their world number one ranking the hard way, becoming the first team ever to win gold after coming through a quarter-final, having only finished fifth in the round-robin.
They edged past reigning champions Sweden, skipped by seven-time winner Niklas Edin, 8-7 in the play-off, avenging a 10-4 round-robin loss to the current Olympic champion.
Mouat’s side followed that with a fine 7-4 win over Brad Jacobs’ third-ranked hosts, who had topped the round-robin with only one defeat – also by the Scots.
That set up a repeat of the 2021 European Championship final against Yannick Schwaller’s fourth-ranked Swiss, who had also beaten the Scots in the round robin.’
