Team GB’s curling programme is one of the strongest stories going into – and now during – Milano Cortina 2026, with experienced champions and new faces all in the mix.

Who’s actually on the GB curling teams?

Men’s team (Olympic team and current headline act)

  • Bruce Mouat (skip) – Already an Olympic silver medallist from Beijing 2022 and a multiple world and European champion.
  • Hammy McMillan Jr
  • Grant Hardie
  • Bobby Lammie

All four were part of the squad that won silver in 2022 and have since added more world titles, so this is a very battle-hardened men’s lineup.

Women’s team

  • Rebecca Morrison (skip) – Making her Olympic debut, but already a European medallist.
  • Sophie Jackson
  • Sophie Sinclair
  • Jennifer Dodds – Returning Olympic champion from the Eve Muirhead gold‑medal team in 2022, now bringing experience to an otherwise first‑time Olympic trio.

Mixed doubles (Mouat/Dodds)

  • Bruce Mouat and Jennifer Dodds also team up in mixed doubles, and they are former world mixed doubles champions, with their 2021 world title being a big part of why they qualified early for 2026.

How did Team GB’s curlers qualify for 2026?

Qualification came the “boring but brutal” way: banking ranking points over multiple world championships.

  • Women (Team Morrison): Qualified via points from the 2024 and 2025 World Women’s Curling Championships, finishing inside the top eight Olympic ranking spots.
  • Men (Team Mouat): Qualified through strong finishes at the 2024 and 2025 World Men’s Curling Championships and sit near the top of the Olympic rankings.
  • Mixed doubles (Mouat/Dodds): Secured their place through results at the 2024 and 2025 World Mixed Doubles Championships, ending high in the Olympic rankings.

This points‑based system rewards consistency; GB essentially “earned their ticket” by staying near the top of the world standings across the quad.

What’s happening right now at Milano Cortina 2026?

Men’s team: already into the Olympic final

  • GB’s men have surged into the gold‑medal game after beating Switzerland 8–5 in the Olympic semi‑final, guaranteeing at least a silver medal.
  • Earlier in round‑robin play they hammered the USA 9–2 to finish 5–4; that result snapped a three‑game losing streak and kept their semi‑final hopes alive while they waited on other results.
  • A key mid‑tournament win over Germany (9–4) briefly put them second in the standings and showed they could still dominate when they found their weight.

This is very much a “redemption plus legacy” moment: after silver in 2022, Mouat’s rink now has a clear shot at upgrading to gold.

Women’s and mixed doubles: context and expectations

  • The women’s team, skipped by Morrison, entered 2026 on the back of multiple European medals and strong world‑level results, but also with the pressure of following Eve Muirhead’s historic 2022 Olympic gold.
  • Mixed doubles Mouat/Dodds came in as past world champions and one of the more feared partnerships on the circuit thanks to their long‑standing on‑ice chemistry.

Forum chatter and fan discussion often highlight how unforgiving Olympic playoff formats can be, especially when there’s no “Page” safety net for top round‑robin teams, so there’s a sense that even tiny mistakes in key ends can flip GB’s medal chances.

Why is GB so strong in curling right now?

A few big factors keep coming up in coverage and analysis:

  • Deep experience: The men’s team are already Olympic medallists and multi‑time world and European champions, with that experience translating into calm decision‑making under pressure.
  • Blended squads: The women’s and mixed doubles line‑ups cleverly mix Olympic champions (Dodds) with ambitious debutants (Morrison, Jackson, Sinclair), balancing fresh energy and big‑stage know‑how.
  • Stable programme: British Curling and Team GB have invested heavily in a centralised, professional system that treats curling like a full‑time high‑performance sport, which athletes describe as having a strong “family” culture around the 2026 squad.

In short, the GB curling team in 2026 is a mature programme hitting its peak at the right time, with the men already back in an Olympic final and the other teams built to contend deep into the playoff stages.

TL;DR: Team GB’s curling setup for 2026 features Mouat’s world‑class men’s rink (now guaranteed at least silver), Morrison’s ambitious new‑look women’s side, and the proven mixed doubles pair of Mouat/Dodds – all built off years of strong world‑championship results and a well‑funded high‑performance system.
