In a see-saw game, Scotland eventually beat USA 9-8 after an extra end, by scoring single shots in the last 3 ends, after losing the previous 3 ends.
I'm not sure what went wrong in their second match against unfancied Italy. They lost a 3 in the seventh end and a 2 in the 9th end, to give Italy a huge advantage. Despite scoring 2 shots in the last end, the Scots suffered a 6-7 defeat. In the big match against Russia, Scotland dominated the opening ends to be 8-1 up after 4 ends. Russia put up a spirited resistance in the middle of the game, but Scotland ran out comfortable 10-7 winners.
Tomorrow has Scotland playing Denmark and Sweden, and knowing the Scottish style, they are probably in more danger from bottom of the table Denmark, than the Swedes.
Eve Muirhead - if (more probably when) she qualifies for the 2018 Winter Olympics by finishing in the top 7 countries, her team will be selected for the GBR Olympics team. It would be incredible if that didn't happen as she has the best chance of winning a medal. Scotland currently lie third in the rankings table, behind Switzerland and Canada.
As for the Eurosport schedule, from a cursory glance at my TV planner, I see the first sessions shown are at 10.30am (CET time difference?).
