Italian curling team defeated Great Britain in the bronze medal match

The Italian curling team led by Stefania Constantini and Amos Mosaner won a bronze medal by defeating Great Britain at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics.

During the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics curling mixed doubles tournament, the Italian team consisting of Stefania Constantini and Amos Mosaner secured a bronze medal by beating the British pair, Jennifer Dodds and Bruce Mouat. This match took place in front of a home crowd and featured closely contested rounds, with both teams having balanced scoring throughout the game.

The match was characterized by its competitive nature, where no single round was won by more than one point. Initially, the Italian team took an early lead, securing a point before the British side equalized in the second round. Following that, Constantini and Mosaner regained the lead by winning the next two rounds, positioning themselves at 3-1. They then maintained this edge, while the British team managed to score again using a power play in a late round, but the Italians still held a narrow lead.

In the decisive last round, the Italian team effectively employed their own power play strategy, allowing them to earn an additional point and finish the match with a final score of 5-3. This victory not only marked a significant achievement for the Italian duo but also highlighted their resilience and skill as they competed successfully at a home Olympic event after having previously won gold in Beijing four years prior.
