Jan 7 (Reuters) - As curler Bruce Mouat ‌prepares to go for gold at next month's Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, he hopes that by being his authentic self ‌he can help other members of the LGBT community take up sport.

The 31-year-old Scot, who became the first ‌openly gay curler to win a World Men's Curling Championship title in 2023, led the British men's team to silver at the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022.
