    Curling: GB 6-8 Sweden - Men's round-robin

    This is heart-pounding time now. Every stone is crucial. And is Niklas Edin the first to blink?

    Edin knows he's made a mistake with his penultimate stone, leaving Kyle Smith with a chance to knock out both Swedish stones in the house....

    Oh no! Smith can't clip the second after cracking the first and that leaves Edin, who thought he'd handed the end to Britain, with an easy shot at redemption.

    Job done, two points to Swedes and Britain on the rack. Into the 10th and final end...

    James: Lizzy Yarnold great position after two runs. The first person in skeleton to retain Olympic gold? I think so. What a great sport.

    Lee Fergusson: Not as good run as the first by Lizzy Yarnold but she is right in contention for a medal and Laura Deas who was much better in her second run is right there also so all to play for the third and fourth runs tomorrow.

    Defending champion Lizzy Yarnold, who sits third overnight, speaking to BBC Two: "It was a much faster track than it had been in training. I have got a throat, sinus infection going on. I am just struggling to breathe enough as it a cold and also dusty.

    "At the World Championships I got a bronze medal and I love to compete at these events where everyone brings their best.

    "I am well in the mix and that is the goal. The goal is to be the first Briton to retain a title and it will not be easy, but I hope to do it for all the people who have supported me."

    More from Laura Deas, speaking to BBC Two:"It is a tough track and it rewards a fast push. There is nowhere to let your brain rest.

    "It is a nice place to be sitting in fourth, seven hundredth of a second out of a medal. It is a sport where anything can happen. I just want to stay positive and find those hundredths tomorrow."

    Laura Deas, speaking to BBC Two, after moving into fourth place overall: "I am really pleased. In the first run I wanted to shake out the nerves as it has been a day and a half since I was on the track. I just wanted to relax and work on some things in the second run and I made a few improvements on the second and I am very happy."

    It's tight in that women's skeleton, isn't it?

    Just 0.02 seconds between first and second place...

    It was a slower heat, but Lizzy did make several mistakes that she did not make in the first run. It is an unforgiving track and I have to say Laura Deas produced the best of the second run. For any of the top four or five it is all to play for.

    Lizzy Yarnold says she's having a bit of a problem with her sinuses.

    Post-race nerves don't bother her, either: she gets a good night's sleep whatever the situation!

    There's not a cigarette paper between these two teams. Britain fight hard to nick a point in the eighth end and square the match off again. On we go...

    Bit quicker would have been nice for Laura, but still confident in her chances!

    The medals will be decided tomorrow: the third run is at 11:20 GMT, the final run at 12:30.

    Laura Deas has also posted the second fastest time of the day, which is some effort.

    Here's how the standings look:

    1. Loelling (Ger) - one minute 43.86
    2. Flock (Aut) 1:43.88
    3. Yarnold (GB): 1:43.96

    Laura Deas is just 0.17 seconds behind Yarnold - she looks much happier with that! That was an excellent run from Deas.

    Just the odd rattle here and there cost Yarnold on that run. She'll spend the night in third place, with Laura Deas in fourth.

    Huge, lung-rattling yell from Yarnold's coach as she makes her run.

    A little rattle through one of the corners, Yarnold's turned sidewards, and it's going to be close between Yarnold and Loelling...

    Deas got it better and perfected it. She just needed that confidence and I hope that the confidence of that run will make her happy and make her go to sleep tonight. But has she done too little too late in this very tight race?

    A good run from Jacqueline Loelling - she goes to the top of the standings thanks to a bit of extra speed at the end of her run.

    So, there's two more athletes to go - Germany's Jacqueline Loelling and Lizzy Yarnold.

    Could Laura Deas end the day in fourth place?
