Canada’s Team Jacobs improves to 5-1 with win over Czechia at Olympics

Canada's men's curling team improved to 5-1 in the round-robin with three steals and a decisive three-point end, securing a strong position for the semifinals.

  • On Feb. 16, 2026, Brad Jacobs led Canada men's curling team to an 8-2 victory over Czechia at Milano Cortina 2026, The Canadian Press reported.
  • After the win, Canada sits 5-1 in the 10-team round-robin standings, trailing only 6-0 Switzerland after a lone loss to the Yannick Schwaller rink on Saturday.
  • Jacobs' rink started by opening with four singles and three steals of one, building a 4-1 lead by the break, then Jacobs made a highlight angle-raise and sealed the match with an eighth-end single.
  • After the eighth end, the Czech team shook hands, and Tardi entered in the seventh to make his Olympic debut, delivering back-to-back draws to the four-foot ring.
  • They will play top-ranked Bruce Mouat of Great Britain on Tuesday night, with Canada returning at 1:05 p.m. ET to pursue its first Olympic men's curling gold since 2014.
