Scotland stun Canada to become world champions

Bruce Mouat's rink led from the second end against Canada

Scotland clinched the World Men's Curling Championship gold in a dominant victory over hosts Canada.

It took Canada until the fourth end before they got on the board, but Bruce Mouat's rink soon extended their lead to 6-1 at the half-way point.

And with the Scots claiming three in the eighth, the hosts conceded.

"We shot the lights out," said an emotional Mouat, whose team were 4-0 up after the first three ends.

"I didn't expect the final to go that way, but I'm so proud of everyone who has been part of our team.

"I think that [making the steal in the third to go 4-0 up] made me more nervous. You're in a game like that and have to defend that lead. It made things more anxious for me, but I managed to keep cool, I think."

Mouat's team of Grant Hardie, Bobby Lammie and Hammy McMillan, who needed a tense extra end to topple Italy in the last four, now add gold to their the current European title and Olympic silver medal.

Switzerland take bronze after beating Italy 11-3.
