British curling skip Kyle Smith speaking to BBC Two: "It was a disappointing performance to be honest. Sometimes it's just not your day.

"We struggled to create anything. We got a couple of fortunate steals but we didn't make enough of the simple shots and gave away a few simple twos and threes.

"It's almost the same situation as today - we have to win [against Switzerland.] It's how we will be approaching things.

"We will have to talk about that game [against USA] and what we could do differently.

"We will try and learn what we can from that game so we can take it into the game against Switzerland."

So Britain's men face an extra game, but the women are into the last four home and dry.

Yes, the rules are a little bit confusing when it comes to sorting out teams tied on points.

USA, Switzerland and GB all finished level on points. The US beat both the other two teams and go through. GB beat the Swiss, the Swiss lost to both of the other two teams.

Therefore, GB play the Swiss in a play-off at 00:05 GMT TONIGHT.

Finland beat OAR 5-1 in the group stage and thrashed Sweden 7-2 in the quarter-finals so will go into the game as likely favourites.

The Korean curlers are proper rockstars out here.

The men's team have just beaten Japan and a load of fans start screaming to get their attention.

A couple of the players throw worn shirts and towels up to the seating area and it looks like a fight's going to break out between a group of girls who all caught a corner! Curling mania has well and truly sunk in.

07:40-10:00: The first Olympic ice hockey medals will be up for grabs, with Finland up against the Olympic Athletes from Russia in the women's bronze match.

There was an element of mixed feelings for GB women's coach Glenn Howard this morning - GB went through, but at the expense of his nativa Canada.

Canada have been on every Olympic podium since the sport was reintroduced to the Games in 1998, and they are the reigning men’s and women’s champions.

But they are toast.

"It's obviously huge for us, and unfortunately, massive for Canada," said Howard.

"It's knocked Canada out and of course I have a few mixed emotions. Too bad it had to be Canada, but we've got a job to do and I'm really proud of the girls."

"The ladies' field, anybody could have won. Just because you've got the maple leaf on your back doesn't mean you're a guaranteed medal. Anybody in Canada who thinks that, they've got another thing coming because those days are gone.

"In the grand scheme of things, I'd probably still say that the Canadian trials are harder than the Olympics, but that being said, you've still got to come here and beat the teams, and the quality of play I've seen here is exceptional."

If you're just joining us on this chilly Wednesday morning, here's what you may have missed overnight...

Sofia Goggia saw off the challenge of American Lindsey Vonn to become the first Italian to win the women's downhill.

Great Britain beat Canada to secure a place in the women's curling semi-finals at the Winter Olympics.

The men's team missed out though. They lost to the US and now face a play-off.

Great Britain's Billy Morgan has qualified for the Winter Olympics' inaugural men's big air final.

And Brady Leman won the men's ski cross to secure Canada's ninth gold medal of the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Roberto: Curling is a bit too shouty for 7 am in the morning.

Manning: Disappointing result for Team Smith but it's not over yet. Win the rest and it's still gold for Team GB. Keep going guys!

We are hearing that it will be a play-off between Great Britain and Switzerland tomorrow to see who will play Sweden in the semi-final.

Not what GB fans wanted to see this morning. USA are through, GB must wait.

Cheers Steph.

When in doubt, consult Team GB themselves...

So yep, if you can't read that tweet, GB will play Switzerland in a play-off tomorrow.

I still have a hunch that GB are through regardless of that defeat, but there is lots of talk about a play-off.

When in doubt, assume that I am wrong.

The man who might have the answers is Tom Rostance...

There were lots of tiny, little errors and that makes a huge difference in curling.

Kyle had a few shots where he just couldn't finish it off, but every credit to the USA they played really well and they weren't going to let us back into that game, though GB tried their best.

Nowhere near from Kyle Smith, giving up four points and a 10-4 deficit.

The US think it's game over with two ends to spare . "Keep your hand in your pocket," says Smith.

Cooler heads prevail, though and Smith calls it a day.

Great Britain must wait to learn their fate...

Blimey. Four US stones in the house. Only one GB brick to play. If Kyle Smith gets this wrong, this game is as good as over...

Great Britain's Chef de Mission Mike Hay on BBC Radio 5 live: "It was a great victory for the women. Eve Muirhead is probably better known in Canada than Great Britain. I'm very surprised Rachel Homan and Canada haven't handled things that well and find themselves out of the competition with a game to go.

"I think they'll [the women] go into the semi-final boosted that they are playing great curling."

Don't quote me on this, but I think results ate conspiring so that GB can lose this and still go through. With the way the results have fallen and are falling, GB, the US and Switzerland would be tied on five wins, with only two spaces in the last four available. Both the US and GB have beaten Switzerland, so the Swiss would go out.

I think...

There were tears earlier from Canada's women, who went out of the curling before the semi-final stage.

But the men's team have given their hardy supporters in Pyeongchang something to cheer about.

The defending champions have beaten Denmark 8-3 in seven ends to make it through to the play-offs in second place.
