Canada is back on top of the world in men’s curling.

Team Brad Jacobs beat Great Britain’s Bruce Mouat 9-6 on Saturday to give Canada its first Olympic men’s curling gold medal since 2014.

Jacobs, from Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., also won that Olympic title with another rink in 2014.

It is Canada’s fifth gold medal at Milano Cortina 2026, one more than the country won in 2022.

Jacobs, Marc Kennedy, Brett Gallant and Ben Hebert exacted revenge on Mouat after losing to the Scottish rink in last year’s semifinals at the world championships. Mouat went on to win his second world while Jacobs took bronze in Moose, Jaw, Sask.

More to come.
