The running surface of the stone - the bit that touches the ice - smooths out as the competition goes on so they tend to go straighter. The sport is called curling for a reason.

The ice technicians rough up the bottom of the stones to make them curl a bit more to maintain playing conditions and the high standard we have been seeing.

The Danish skip holds his nerve, curling his final stone in to the centre of the house. The lounge, if you will. Denmark may have taken the lead, but GB will be happy with that opening end. Any time that gaining the hammer only costs you a point can be regarded as a little win.

Great Britain are going to pressure that final Danish stone. If the Danes get it wrong, there's a chance GB could pick up three against the head.

This is a good start by GB. Two red bricks are sitting on the bullseye. Remember, though, Denmark have the hammer. Stones of the skips coming up...

Busy first end. The house was congested but emptied quicker than a party raided by the cops. Two red bricks, belonging to Britain, are in position, with a third pushing the sole Danish yellow down the river.

Rather confusingly, GB are going to play in red, with the Danes in white. Britain have the first stone in the opening end, so are favourites to have the hammer in the final chapter. We're on the far end of the four-rink curling centre.

Here we go then. A win here would leave Kyle Smith and his men in control of their own destiny, but defeat would put them on the verge of elimination.

I know that there is no better way to start the working week...

Both British curling teams play twice again today.

Following their controversial defeat by Sweden, Team Muirhead have to pick themselves back up for their seventh round-robin match against two-time Olympic silver medalists Switzerland. They're back on the ice at 11:05 GMT

The men are in the middle session of the day, at 05:05 GMT, against Denmark. Kyle Smith's crew made it three wins and three defeats after six matches with Sunday's win against Italy.

They both have two group stage games remaining after today. The four teams with the best record at the end of this round advance to the semi-finals.

How are doing? Staying up late? An early alarm? I salute you. Your loyalty will be rewarded, too.

In around 20 minutes, GB's men's curlers meet Denmark in a match they can't really afford to lose.

Penny Coomes on BBC TV: "I'm so happy, relieved and overwhelmed to be here.

"No matter what, we did it. I'm so proud of us and our team.

"I got injured during the Rio Olympics so every time I was in the gym it was on the TV. The Olympic rings were everywhere and that spurred me on."

Nick Buckland on BBC TV: "It felt great. When you come here and see the Olympic Rings everywhere it makes it all the more special.

"We've been here since before the opening ceremony so it's been a long wait. We only had a couple of practices each day but we spent a couple of days in Seoul which was great. It gets you away from craziness of the Olympic village.

"The thing we had to do today was to be calm and just do what we do. We really did that today. There's a special feeling you get at the Olympic Games but you have to let that help your performance."

If you missed it earlier, GB pair Penny Coomes and Nick Buckland secured their place in tomorrow's free dance part of the ice dance competition. That is when the medals will be decided. They have been commentating on the rest of the action on BBC One...

This morning’s media briefing was dominated by the Russian doping story. Reports from Russia have named him as Aleksandr Krushelnitchi, who won a bronze medal in the mixed curling event.

IOC spokesman Mark Adams refused to confirm the name, sport or substance involved. He understood the B sample is being tested today, but was vague as to how quickly the process would proceed if it comes back as positive.

He defended the IOC’s anti-doping programme ahead of these Olympics, which started in April last year and has been targeting Russian athletes significantly more than those from other countries.

“I’m so proud of what I’ve achieved,” Molly Summerhayes tells me after making her Olympic debut today.

The 20-year-old didn’t make it through to the final, but having now competed in a Games with her sister Katie - they become only the fourth sisters to compete to at an Olympics together for Britain.

“After injuring my ACL two years ago I really didn’t know what would happen with my skiing in the future so today is so special.”

In the same event, Cheshire's GB team-mate Molly Summerhayes missed out on a place in the final. Despite two clear runs, she could not make it into the top 12. Watch her second run here...
