In what many consider a preview of the gold medal match, Brad Jacobs and Team Canada face off against Bruce Mouat’s Great Britain. However, the skill on the ice has been overshadowed by a "double-touching" scandal that has rocked both camps, adding a layer of psychological warfare to this heavyweight battle.
The match takes place Tuesday, February 17, at 1:05 p.m. ET at the Cortina Olympic Stadium.

Game Context & Predictions
Both teams arrive at 5-2, but the narrative is dominated by allegations of "double-touching"—illegally touching the granite of the stone after release. Canada’s Marc Kennedy was the first to face accusations, while Great Britain’s Bobby Lammie saw a stone removed during their win over Germany for the same infraction. With World Curling recently backtracking on increased umpire surveillance, the players are back to self-officiating in a highly tense environment.
On the ice, Canada has regained its form, coming off a dominant 8-2 win over Czechia. Brad Jacobs is throwing with immense power, but he faces a tactical mastermind in Mouat. Great Britain remains statistically the best-shooting team in the field, with Mouat’s precision draws being nearly impossible to defend. If the British can avoid the "burned stone" errors that have plagued the tournament, they are the favorites to grind out a victory.

What is Kalshi?
Different than a traditional sportsbook and available in most states, Kalshi allows users to make predictions across several unique markets, including sports, entertainment, elections, and even weather.
Kalshi operates on a contract-based system where users buy "contracts" (priced between 1–99 cents) based on whether they believe a specific event will happen. The price of each contract fluctuates in real time based on market sentiment, and like the stock market, traders can sell positions early to lock in profits (or minimize losses).
