Both Mouat and Dodds are seen as serious contenders for a medal. Their prior experience in the 2022 Winter Olympics, where they faced Norway in the semi-finals, likely bolstered their resolve. Despite a tough competition, they maintained composure and motivation throughout the match.
Background Context
In the previous Olympics, the pair led early but ultimately fell to the Norwegian team in the semi-finals and lost the bronze medal match to Sweden. This history may serve as additional motivation for Mouat and Dodds as they seek to improve their standing at this year’s games.
