Team GB<\/a>‘s Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds en route.<\/p>\nSunday’s triumph went right down to the wire, with Anna Hasselborg scoring a single decisive point in the 10th and final end to seal the slender victory. <\/p>\n
With that throw, Hasselborg became just the second woman after compatriot Anette Norberg to win two Olympic gold medals as skip.<\/p>\n
Great Britain came to Milano Cortina as defending champions, having won gold in Beijing four years ago with the team led by Eve Muirhead. <\/p>\n
Jen Dodds was the only woman remaining from that gold medal-winning team, but her and her crew failed to progress beyond the round-robin stage in Italy. <\/p>\n

In a dominant run, Sweden topped the round-robin standings with seven victories in their nine matches – including a 10-7 triumph over Great Britain. <\/p>\n
Of the three curling events, Sweden were the only team who topped the round robin to progress through to the gold medal match.<\/p>\n
They limited Canada to just three points in a 6-3 semi-final victory to make Sunday’s final, and triumphed in another relatively low-scoring match to claim gold.<\/p>\n
It marked yet more Swiss heartbreak in women’s curling finals, having suffered defeat at the same stage in 2002 and 2006.<\/p>\n
