It was closer than some expected, but Italy defeated Norway in the curling mixed doubles gold medal game to wrap up a perfect Olympics. The victory sealed Italy’s first ever medal in Olympic curling. Down 7-5 entering the final end, Norway was in position to force an extra end before Italy’s final throw.

Stefania Constantini then delivered a perfect shot, as Amos Mosaner swept and the Italians executed a double takeout — knocking both Norwegian stones and stealing one final point for the 8-5 win. The Italian duo of Constantini and Mosaner were 11-0 in Beijing, winning all nine round robin games before topping Sweden in the semifinal and Norway in the final. Constantini and Mosaner outscored their opposition 95-54 in their 11 games.
