Great Britain's women curler's skip Eve Muirhead, speaking about the 10-8 win against South Korea: "We had a slack ninth end and gave up a steal of two but when you win like that it stamps down a marker. We played 100% on that last end and it's great to know we can play those ends under pressure.

"We showed lots of grit there and lots of teams would have put their heads down but we came back fighting. After the first couple of games we needed to keep winning, we've got the ball rolling and the momentum going."

During the first week at Sochi 2014, 24 million people chatted about the Olympics on Facebook, in a total of 48 million combined posts, comments and 'likes'.

"Well, what a dramatic morning's racing at the women's super-G. Only three of the first 11 starters made the finish, most missing one of the tight gates on the final plunge to the line. Graham Bell described the snow as "soapy" in this section and after completing his course run said it was hard to get an edge to hold.

"Up top, in the shady sections, it was icy and "glazy" and hard to get an edge in for other reasons. But Austria's Anna Fenninger managed OK and claimed her first Olympic medal - a gold - ahead of super-combined champion Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany, with Austria's Nicole Hosp third.

"Britain's Chemmy Alcott ended 23rd and bemoaned a big mistake on the bottom section. "I'm really disappointed," she told BBC Sport."

It's gold for 24-year-old Anna Fenninger. The Austrian also competed in Vancouver four years ago, with her best finish being 16th. But now she can celebrate as she wins the women's super-G event.

There are two ice hockey matches in progress. In men's Group A, Slovakia are taking on Slovenia and it is currently 0-0 with 10 minutes of the first period remaining. Both sides need to win after defeats in their first matches.

Slovakia were beaten 5-2 by the hosts Russia, while Slovenia were thrashed 7-1 by the the United States in their opener.

We have reached the quarter-final stages in the women's event with Finland taking on Sweden in the first of them. Finland won a bronze in Vancouver four years ago and that is also scoreless.

"It was so promising on the top section from Chemmy. But she will be disappointed."

Alcott finishes, which is a lot better than some competitors, but her medal hopes are dashed with a mistake early in her run that causes her to lose a lot of speed.

"Brutal, welcome to the Olympics," said Alcott as she shakes her head at the finishing line, looking disappointed.

But what a great achievement recovering from a broken leg as recently as August to take her place in the competition. Her time of one minute 29.14 seconds leaves her 20th so far.

Britain's Chemmy Alcott is next up. This is her fourth Winter Olympics, but she has never finished inside the top 10. Can she achieve a career-best performance in Sochi? Stay tuned to find out.

"Time for a bit of make-up for GB's new golden girl before she appears on BBC TV with Hazel Irvine."

There are 10 teams in the women's curling event with four advancing to the semi-finals. Each nation plays all the other nine countries on a round-robin basis and Britain's latest win keeps them in a strong position.

Canada are leading the table with a 100% record with six wins, while China, Great Britain and Sweden are all tied second with four wins and two defeats.

Britain do not have to wait long before they are in action again, as they play Switzerland in a match that begins at 15:00 GMT. The Swiss have won three and lost three of their six matches and are one of Britain's rivals for a semi-final spot.

Britain's women's team clinched their fourth win in six matches with a dramatic 10-8 success against South Korea.

"It's proving to be a very, very difficult Super-G, possibly the most difficult I've seen. The bottom section is getting direct sun and that is making it tricky."

Britain's Chemmy Alcott is in action soon. The way it is going, finishing the course would be a good achievement. Austrian Elisabeth Goergl is the latest to fail to make it down to the end.

Germany's Maria Hoefl-Riesch, who won the women's super-combined gold medal on Monday, survives a couple of scares but it slows her down enough and there will not be a repeat gold. However, her time of one minute 26.07 seconds is good enough to move into second so far.
