Canada's Jacobs defeats Norway at Milano Cortina 2026 to advance to gold medal game (2026)

Canada's Brad Jacobs has secured his spot in the gold medal game at Milano Cortina 2026, after a thrilling 4-2 victory over Norway's Magnus Ramsfjell in the men's curling semifinals on Thursday. But here's where it gets controversial... While Canada took an early two-score lead, the match was far from over. Norway's strategic play and Jacobs' missed shot in the 10th end kept the tension high. And this is the part most people miss... The turning point came when Jacobs had the chance to clear the house, but left a Norwegian rock inside, allowing Ramsfjell to take two points and force an 11th end. Despite the close call, Canada held on to take the winning point in the 11th end. Great Britain's 8-5 win over Switzerland in the other semifinal sets up an exciting gold medal game between Canada and Great Britain. Canada is aiming for its fourth Olympic gold medal in men's curling, having claimed gold in three consecutive tournaments from 2006-14. Jacobs skippered the men's team in 2014, and Kennedy was a member of the gold medal-winning team in Vancouver in 2010. So, who do you think will take home the gold?
