First names confirmed for Team GB at Winter Olympics

Jennifer Dodds is aiming for back-to-back Winter Olympic gold medals, with the curling teams the first officially confirmed Team GB athletes for Milan-Cortina 2026.

And, with a silver medal on their debut, Bruce Mouat and his rink are aiming to go one better in Italy next year.

Mouat, along with Grant Hardie, Bobby Lammie and Hammy McMillan Jr, were narrowly beaten by Sweden in the 2022 final.

Dodds teamed up with Eve Muirhead, Vicky Wright and Hailey Duff in Beijing as Britain topped the podium for the first time in 20 years.

This time, she will be joined by Rebecca Morrison, Sophie Sinclair and skip Sophie Jackson.

“Winning gold last time was a dream come true, so I’m excited to get back there, obviously with a new team,” Dodds told BBC Scotland.

“We’ve been building a lot over the last couple of seasons and I’m excited to see where the trajectory of our performance can go over the next eight months.

“I’ve known a couple of the girls for quite a while, but that’s the thing, we probably had to build that teamwork, build the friendships and I feel like we’ve done that really well. I think you can see in our performances, our teamwork has improved, and a big part of that is communication and understanding each other.”

Mouat’s Scotland rink won World Championship gold for a second time this year, having been European champions on four occasions.

Now the Edinburgh curler wants to add Olympic gold to their list of achievements.

Mouat and Dodds will team up again to compete in the mixed doubles, having lost out in the 2022 bronze medal match.

“We’re friends first and foremost, but we are team-mates as well,” explained Dodds. “He can be intense on the ice but he’s one of the funniest people I know off the ice. He always puts a smile on my face.

“We had the World Championships in April, and we got silver there, and I felt like that was kind of where we were, back to where we were from a couple of years ago. What we’re wanting to go and strive for, is that gold medal at the Olympics.”

Mouat added: “Jen and I are great friends and we have been since we were about eight or nine. It’s just so much fun to get to go back to one of the pinnacles of our sport and play with someone that you’ve played with for such a long time.

“In Beijing we were very close to winning a medal. We were up in our semi-final and then we ended up just throwing it away unfortunately, but we learned a lot from that experience.”

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have continued to support each other amid rumours of a rift in his family, with him paying tribute to her once again in a recent post

There’s been a further tribute to Nicola Peltz from her husband Brooklyn Beckham following a special occasion earlier this week. It comes amid the couple attracting much attention over the rumoured rift in the Beckham family.

Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, have made headlines in recent weeks over speculation of a ‘feud’ with his family, including his parents David Beckham, 50, and Victoria Beckham, 51. The couple, who have now been married for three years, have continued to publicly support each other throughout.

Earlier today, Brooklyn shared a photo of himself and wife Nicola with his followers on Instagram. The photo showed actor Nicola leaning against her husband, who appeared to pay tribute to his wife in the accompanying caption.

Expressing his love for Nicola, whom he tagged, Brooklyn teased in the caption that she’s his world. He wrote “my” alongside an emoji depicting the globe. Beside a heart emoji, he also commented over the photo: “My absolute angel.”

Just hours later, Brooklyn shared a message for David’s mother Sandra Beckham. He marked his grandmother’s birthday with a post that included a photo of him beside her. Brooklyn wrote: “Happy birthday nanny xx love you so much.”

It’s said to have marked him reaching out for the first time to his family on social media. It was reported earlier that it’s thought to be the first time he’s publicly acknowledged his family amid the speculation of tension among them.

Despite the attention on them, it’s been reported that Brooklyn and Nicola are “solid” in their marriage. The couple have paid tribute to each other on social media in recent months, having most recently done so just days ago.

Brooklyn celebrated the anniversary of his proposal to Nicola in a post on Instagram earlier this week. They got engaged in 2020 and later tied the knot two years later in a star-studded wedding ceremony that was held in the US.

Alongside a selfie of them, he wrote to his wife: “It’s been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me.” He continued in the post: “Best decision ever.” Brooklyn concluded by writing to Nicola: “I love you so much.”

Nicola also marked the occasion on her page. She wrote in a message for her husband: “5 years ago we got engaged. I love living life with you baby.” She concluded by writing in her post just a few days ago: “I loveee you so muchhh.”

Although met with support, the couple also received negative responses at the time. A source however suggested to the Mirror that Brooklyn and Nicola are stronger than ever, adding that they are “enjoying their lives together”.

The source told us earlier this week: “For every unkind comment, there are just as many full of love, but people so often choose to dwell on the negative. Brooklyn and Nicola are solid, and the idea that a heartfelt anniversary post warrants this level of scrutiny is frankly a bit ridiculous.”

They added: “It’s disheartening to see so much energy spent trying to tear down a young couple simply enjoying their lives together. They want no part in the public’s narrative.”
