The United States have made some odd decisions in the last couple of ends. They played the riskier shot there, they've missed it and it's allowed Great Britain to take the lead. They'll be delighted to be in that position - they want to win this so they're in the semi finals with no doubt about it.

After that iffy start, Great Britain have gradually stamped their authority on this contest. The US are miles off target with their final stone and allow GB to take a point against the hammer. Britain have scored in each of the past three ends...

Czech Republic are the first team to reach the men's ice hockey semi-finals. The 1998 gold medal winners beat the USA on penalty shots after the two teams played out a thrilling 2-2 tie through three periods and overtime.

The Czech side scored one of their five shots through Petr Koukal, and netminder Pavel Francouz stopped all five US attempts.

This Czech team is great value and will face either the OAR or Norway in the final four.

As for the US they head home with their reputation boosted and a new superstar on their hands in Havard student and the tournament's leading goalscorer Ryan Donato, who may end up playing in the NHL before the end of the season with the Boston Bruins.

The Americans are so loud when they're on the ice.

That ski cross final took place all inside one end of curling. Two stones left each. Nothing threatening the button of the target. This one is up for grabs.

Look what it means to Brady Leman. It has taken him so long to get here, onto an Olympic podium and he finally has his top spot.

These really are the gladiators of snow sports, they put everything on the line.

Looking again, Kevin Drury fell and took Sergey Ridzik out at the knees. Ridzik pulled himself up off the snow and walked up a slope, on skis, to get back in the race. The lengths you have to go to for an Olympic medal.

Fairly certain Drury lost a ski in that crash...

Two taken out! Bischofberger and Leman left to battle it out...

The Canadians are miles back...

Ridzik, Drury, Leman, Bischofberger.

Two Canadians, a Swiss and an OAR...

Take your marks...

The skiers are in the gates for the ski cross final.

Who knows what carnage could happen here...

Error. Too much pudding from the American skip gives GB a point they wouldn't have expected.

Levels, you devils...

The house is empty with one stone apiece still to be cast. The US may choose to blank this end...

We have the starting list for the final, the gold medal race.

A pair of Canadians - Kevin Drury and Brady Leman - will be joined by Switzerland's Marc Bischofberger and Sergey Ridzik of the OAR.

Bischofberger has had an excellent World Cup season, so may start as favourite.

It hasn't been a textbook start by Great Britain, not quite the start they wanted but they'll keep it tight just like the women did earlier - they were never really in control but they played a stunning second half of the match.

I don't think the men will be too despondent at this point, just a few shots didn't quite come off for them.

With regards to fashion faux pas hurting your eyes, if you're watching the four men's sessions at the arena in Gangneung it's even worse.

Those loud Norway pants are stationed right next to the American baseball wannabes.

It's all a bit much.

GB under pressure after a couple of ends here. After giving away two points in the first chapter, they can only use the hammer to pick up one in the second. The US, who need to win to stand a chance of reaching the final, have started well. Despite what they are wearing.
