Successful return to the Olympic Games for Brad Jacobs as Canada wins opening game in men’s curling

Brad Jacobs made his return to the Olympic Games after more than a decade a successful, although challenging, one with a 7-6 victory over Marc Muskatewitz of Germany in the opening draw of men’s curling at Milano Cortina 2026.

The Team Canada foursome that includes third Marc Kennedy, second Brett Gallant, and lead Ben Hebert, had its hands full from the opening few shots through eleven challenging ends that concluded with Jacobs making a relatively easy tap back for a single and the victory.
