British curler Bruce Mouat was delighted to have a picture request from rapper Snoop Dogg at Friday's curling mixed doubles match in Cortina.
Mouat, along with his partner, Jennifer Dodds, maintained an unbeaten record so far in the competition with a 7-4 win over Sweden, but he was just as pleased to meet the U.S. superstar.
"We saw him at halftime. We saw he was sat next to [U.S. curler] Cory [Thiesse]'s mum. He asked for a photo with us, so I am feeling pretty good about myself," Mouat said.
Snoop Dogg was wearing a USA jacket that featured photos of Thiesse and partner Korey Dropkin as the pair won their match against Canada 7-5.
The rapper, who is an honorary coach for the U.S. team as well as a special correspondent for NBC, then took to the ice himself to have a try at sweeping a stone.

He also carried the Olympic flame Wednesday, having previously been a torchbearer in Paris two years ago.
Mouat and Dodds made it 4 of 4 as they beat Sweden in the first of two curling mixed doubles matches Friday.
The pair edged victory over the Czech Republic on Thursday evening but had a more straightforward win against Sweden, securing a 7-4 success with an end to spare.
