Team GB men’s skip Bruce Mouat insisted his rink got a wake-up call as they returned to winning ways with a crushing victory over Norway.
Mouat ordered extra coffees for his team after they were caught slumbering in an early morning match with the USA, slipping to a narrow 9-7 defeat.
But nine hours later - after some strong caffeine and words - they were wide awake against Steffan Walstad's Norway claiming an 8-3 victory, inspired by a brilliant two point steal on the fourth end.
“We took on a tough shot there and it came off. It didn't win us the game but it gave us the advantage," said Mouat.
"They are really good side but we're playing really well and that was clinical and it was important to bounce back from the defeat to the USA.
"I'm looking forward to a day off and long lie in and then we can focus on our games on Sunday.
"This was a really important game for ironing out the kinks in our game, all four us were firing on all cylinders and that really gives us some momentum.
"We controlled the game from the start and established ourselves, we were pretty relentless and never gave up.”
Mouat's rink are not back in action until Sunday when they will return to the Ice Cube for matches against China and Denmark, having now won two out of their opening three games.
