Bruce Mouat after their win
“I’m elated and totally buzzing. Having to make two shots in the tenth end like that is pretty special. This one means a lot, having to finish off a game like that, so amazing!”
“It was a roller-coaster. Probably wasn’t our strongest Europeans performance, but to win the event after playing a couple of slack games feels amazing.”
What a final!
Huge congratulations, Scotland, on the title! Many congratulations, Switzerland, on the silver medals!

Madeleine Dupont after the final
“That was unexpected! I did not expect her to miss [Alina Paetz’s last shot]. She’s too good to miss that. I don’t know how it feels… I’ve just tried it [being champion] for a minute. It’s going to be a really good feeling for the rest of the year. I can’t remember the last time I got a gold medal in anything in curling. It has been a good week, hasn’t it? I don’t know what to say, I’m just very excited.”
Congratulations to Denmark on their gold medals and to Switzerland on their silver!
