He is a five-time World champion and, thus, the first and only skip in history to skip teams to five World Men's Curling Championship medals. He has curled solely in the role of skip since 2008 and, thus, all of the international medals he has won in that role since then have earned him more of these medals than any other skip in history. He is also a seven-time European Curling Champion, additionally winning three silver medals in those championships. He has won three Olympic medals, winning a gold medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics, a silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics and a bronze medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics.
