Curler Bruce Mouat needs a trick from his magic hat to rubber-stamp a shot at an Olympic mixed doubles medal alongside Jennifer Dodds.The world champions were upstaged by round robin pace setters Italy in a 7-5 defeat that left them needing two wins from their final three games to guarantee qualification.With hosts China up next, followed by Norway’s ‘curling couple’ of Magnus Nedregotten and Kristin Skaslien, Mouat isn’t shying away from the prospect of knockout curling.“We’re pretty happy with how we’re doing,” said the 27-year-old from Edinburgh.“We’re a bit disappointed not to win that one, we would have been in a really solid position.
We’ve beaten a lot of tough teams out there already which will stand us in good stead.“It’s almost must-win now. I’m excited to go in and see what we can do.“It looks like a lot of teams are beating each other.
The ideal scenario would be to win three and then we’re on seven, that would be nice. I think six is the goal, so two out of the next three would be amazing.”After Canadian commentators took aim at his bad hair day, Mouat started wearing a cap on the Grand Slam circuit.
