Snoop Dogg Requests Selfie with Unbeaten British Curlers

When a hip-hop icon asks you for a selfie, you know you're doing something right on the world stage.

Snoop Dogg, serving as Team USA's "honorary coach" at the Winter Olympics in Cortina, Italy, approached British curlers Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat after their stunning performance Friday. The rapper wanted a photo with the Scottish duo after they defeated Sweden 7-4 to remain the only unbeaten team in mixed doubles curling.

"He's just asked for a photo with us, so I'm feeling pretty good about myself," Mouat said. Dodds revealed that Snoop "said he'd heard about Bruce," proving their reputation is spreading beyond the curling world.

The victory was especially sweet because Sweden beat the British pair to bronze in the 2022 Olympics. This time, the roles reversed completely as Dodds and Mouat dominated from start to finish.

Mouat admitted he'd been "calling himself all the bad swears" during earlier matches where he struggled to find his rhythm. But against Sweden, everything clicked. His partner Dodds has been consistently superb throughout the tournament, and together they delivered what BBC pundit Jackie Lockhart called a winning performance: "The difference was the two girls. Isabella wasn't making shots, but Jen was."

The Scottish team built a four-point lead, weathered a Swedish comeback attempt, and sealed the win with a stunning final throw from Mouat that earned a rare fist pump from the usually restrained Scotsman.

Why This Inspires

Team GB's perfect record puts them within reach of the semi-finals, needing just six wins in nine round-robin games to advance. They've already achieved four, showing that early struggles can transform into triumph with persistence and partnership.

Mouat's honesty about his rough start makes the turnaround even more meaningful. Athletes at the highest level still doubt themselves, still fight through frustration, and still find ways to excel when it matters most.

The fact that Snoop Dogg recognized their excellence speaks to how sports can bridge different worlds and bring unexpected moments of joy.

Team GB faces South Korea next, carrying momentum, confidence, and a celebrity fan base into their quest for Olympic glory.
