    GB curling skip Eve MuirheadDavid Ramos

    Eve Muirhead's British curling rink lost their opening match at the Winter Olympics in a tense extra end against world champions Switzerland.

    Muirhead needed to draw to the button for victory with the last stone but overthrew to give the Swiss victory.

    Muirhead, Vicky Wright, Jen Dodds, and Hailey Duff had been in control at 4-2 after seven ends but could not punish more Swiss errors and were pegged back.

    They next face defending champions Sweden at 12:05 GMT.

    Before that, Bruce Mouat's rink start their round-robin fixtures against Italy at 06:05 in the men's competition.

    Even if you didn't look, you would hear who has just stepped on to the ice to perform.

    Yuzuru Hanyu is a very popular with the Chinese fans.

  3. We have more curling coming up later on this morning (06:05 GMT) with the men's team in action against Italy.

  4. 'That will hurt'

    That will hurt. Britain did control the game and they will be bitterly disappointed.

    They have to take the positives about how well they did play throughout the game and take that into the rest of the eight round robin games they’ve got to play.

    There’s a long way to go and they did play well.

  5. Men's snowboard cross

    Great Britain's Huw Nightingale has just made his Olympic debut in the snowboard cross first seeding run.

    He places 28th with a run of 1:20.79 and will now compete in the second seeding run to determine which of the 1/8 finals (starting at 06:00 GMT) he will go into later.

  6. 'That is hugely disappointing'

    Steve Cram
    Curling commentator on BBC TV

    It’s too long. That means Switzerland get the win and that is hugely disappointing.

    It had too much weight and after having struggled all the way through you can see what that means to the Swiss, they have managed to somehow grasp the victory.

  7. Switzerland beat Great Britain 6-5
    Breaking

    Curling - Great Britain 5-6 Switzerland

    Agonisingly, about one foot too long from Eve Muirhead and Switzerland snatch a 6-5 victory.

    Britain begin their campaign with a loss.

  8. Can Eve do it?

    Eve Muirhead hits the button and GB win this...

  10. 'Has anyone got any snacks?'

    Four years ago, Chloe Kim threw her gold medal in the bin as she struggled to deal with the fame and pressure that accompanied becoming Olympic champion.

    "I won't be doing that again," she tells a press conference.

    She then asks if anyone has any snacks and several members of the press rush forward with offerings. I hope one of the mini strawberry swiss rolls on offer in the press centre was among them because they are seriously good.

    Bit of Bolero for China's Jin Boyang - is there a better piece of Olympic figure skating music?!

  12. Here go Switzerland with their final shot...

    It's short and Eve Muirhead has a chance to draw for the win!

    These time outs don't help the nerves...

  14. Another timeout for Great Britain, Switzerland with two on the board. Two stones left for Britain, one stone left for the Swiss.

  15. Two stones left each and Britain are holding one shot.

    Three stones left and remember, Britain go last in this extra end.

  18. Figure skating - men's free skating

    Sonia Oxley

    We're getting to the business end of the figure skating.

    Defending champion Yuzuru Hanyu is among the group currently warming up on the ice.

    He's actually had a little tumble and didn't seem too happy about it. Remember on Tuesday he blamed a 'hole' in the ice for the fact he missed his opening jump.

    We'll soon find out if that has rattled him - four more skaters before it's his turn.
