The GB Men's curling team fell agonisingly short of victory in the Gold/Silver Medal game, eventually losing 4-5 to Sweden after an extra end. Bruce Mouat missed the second half of a double take-out by inches with his last stone, giving Niklas Edin's team the Gold Medal. Still it was an excellent performance from Gb winning a well-deserved Silver Medal.
After Eve Muirhead's dramatic victory over Sweden in a wildly fluctuating game by 12-11, an unlikely scoreline in a top-class game, GB now have to play Japan in the Final tomorrow at 01.05. After getting to bed at 02.30 this morning, I'm certainly not staying up to watch until at least 04.00. I'll be watching at a much more reasonable hour on the i-Player.
Zoe Atkins finished in 9th place in the Women's Freeski Halfpipe after falling in the first 2 runs.
Gus Kenworthy also had a good 3rd run in the Men's Freeski Halfpipe Final, again after 2 falls, the second one an horrendous crash, but only good enough for 8th place.
Oliver Davis was eliminated at the Eighth-final stage in the Men's Ski Cross.
Cornelius Kersten finished in a very good 9th position in the Men's 1000m Speed Skating event, just under a second behind the winner and only 0.31 seconds behind the Bronze Medallist.
Montell Douglas and Mica McNeill had disappointing performances in the first 2 Heats of the 2-woman Bob, but improved in Heats 3 and 4, but still could only manage 17th overall.
In the reduced section, the 40% off Cross-country 50km Mass Start saw an annoyed Andrew Musgrave finish in 12th place.
Brad Hall, Greg Cackett, Nick Gleeson and Taylor Lawrence are certainly in the hunt for a medal in the 4-man Bob, lying in 6th position after Heat 2. They are 0.69 seconds adrift, but only 0.31 seconds behind 3rd position. Heat 3 starts at 01.30 tomorrow morning, followed by Heat 4 for the top 20 sleds at 03.20.
GB have a guaranteed medal in the curling and a medal chance in the 4-man Bob to finish the 2022 Winter Olympics on a high. Go get 'em, GB!
