Brad Jacobs capped a remarkable Olympic comeback by leading Canada to a 9–6 victory over Great Britain’s Bruce Mouat in the men’s final at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan–Cortina. The win snapped a 12-year drought for Canada in men’s Olympic curling and etched Jacobs’ name into history as the first men’s skip to capture two Olympic gold medals.
The gold-medal game lived up to the hype, staying tight until a decisive ninth end. With Canada trailing, Jacobs and his rink executed under pressure, cashing in three crucial points after Great Britain narrowly missed multiple double takeout attempts. That swing proved to be the difference, sealing Canada’s return to the top of the podium.
Speaking to CBC Olympics, Jacobs called the win “an honour,” crediting his teammates and the bond they share on the ice.
It was a strong day all around for the Maple Leaf. On the women’s side, Rachel Homan and her team showed resilience, rebounding from a tough start to the tournament to defeat the United States and earn bronze, Canada’s first women’s Olympic curling medal since 2014.
From clutch shots to historic milestones, Canada’s curlers once again proved why the sport still runs deep north of the border.
