  1. Great Britain suffer second round-robin loss

    Round-robin: South Korea 9-7 Great Britain

    It is an easy take-out for the South Korea skip. She lets go of the stone well before the hog line and catches the British stone flush on the nose.

    It skids out of contention. And Britain are left nursing the wounds.

    They have lost two of their first three matches in this round-robin stage. Their progress to the knock-out stages is looking a little dicey.

  2. Great Britain on the brink of defeat

    Round-robin: South Korea 9-6 Great Britain (after nine ends)

    There are two South Korean stones in the house and only one left in Eve Muirhead's hand.

    This game is surely done...

  3. South Korea 9-6 Great Britain

    Vicky Wright gets that on its way and that is a good attempt by Hailey Duff to get it closer to that guard.

  4. Even in final end

    Round-robin: South Korea 9-6 Great Britain (after nine ends)

    Vicky Wright, with some help for Jen Dodds on the mop, tucks a nice stone around under the cover of her previous attempts.

    Three stones each remaining. Great Britain could really use another South Korean mistake.

  5. 'More than just curlers'

    Curling - South Korea 2-1 Great Britain (after three of 10 ends)

    Logan Gray
    Former Scottish curler on BBC TV

    The Korean team haven’t seen too much of the international stage after the last Olympic Games

    They called a surprise press conference and reported concerns about how they were being treated as athletes and how they were being verbally abused by coaches and having funding withheld from their association. They were banned from interacting with other athletes.

    That led to an outpouring of other Korean athletes who came forward and spoke out about the way they were being treated.

    They are more than just curlers, they really have been leading the way in Korean sport and trying to change the culture for Korean athletes.

  6. Roest sets new time to beat

    Graeme Fish's opening time lasted one pairing. Patrick Roest, who took the silver medal in the 5,000m for the Netherlands, sees to that by shaving over 14 seconds off.

    Japan's Ryosuke Tsuchiya and Germany's Patrick Beckert, who once missed a race because his mobile phone was switched off, are up next.

    Looks pretty tiring this.

  7. 'A costly mistake'

    Round-robin: South Korea 9-6 Great Britain

    Thomas Duncan
    BBC Scotland in Beijing

    A costly mistake from Eve Muirhead. She left her stone there like a sitting duck, and Kim EunJung takes it out to leave FOUR reds in the house. It was a really tough as of the GB skip.

    They need a miracle now.

  8. 'Korea have had the opportunities'

    South Korea 9-6 Great Britain

    Logan Gray
    Former Scottish curler on BBC TV

    It's a score of four and Team GB have just been out of sorts this morning.

    It's not over and as much as we would like GB to win this game, you can't really argue that Korea have had the opportunities for multiple points.

  9. South Korea leap out into three-shot lead

    Round-robin: South Korea 9-6 Great Britain (after nine ends)

    South Korea curlingGetty

    No mistake this time from the South Korean skip.

    She ejects Great Britain's sole stone in the circle and leaves behind four red residents.

    A massive four-shot score to take a stranglehold on this match.

    One end left and Great Britain hoping for a bit of a miracle.

  10. GB lying one

    Round-robin: South Korea 5-6 Great Britain (after eight ends)

    Eve Muirhead lands one on the button, but that scoring stone is vulnerable to a South Korean take-out on the final play...

  11. GB facing tough final-stone shot

    Round-robin: South Korea 5-6 Great Britain (after eight ends)

    This is tighter than piano wire.

    One stone left for each team. South Korean stones dominating the house and with a tricky guard for Eve Muirhead to get around.

  12. Fish sets early mark

    Men's speed skating 10,000m

    The men's blue-riband event of the speed skating programme, the 10,000 metres, is under way.

    This could be an intriguing final and former world record holder, Canada's Graeme Fish, has posted an early mark of 12:58.80.

    Will that be enough to get near the medals? We shall see.

    Sweden's Nils van der Poel, who won in the 5,000m and is the current world champion and world record holder is the strong favourite. The 25-year-old, who has been placed in 70% of all Fanzone teams today, gets going in the fifth pairing with Italy's Davide Ghiotto.

  13. 'What a time to make a mistake like that'

    South Korea 5-6 Great Britain

    Logan Gray
    Former Scottish curler on BBC TV

    What a let-off there. you need to release the stone before the hog-line.

    Kim EunJung held on to it for a little long and... what a time to make a mistake like that.

    Steal of two for GB. Massive.

  14. Round-robin: South Korea 5-6 Great Britain

    Thomas Duncan
    BBC Scotland in Beijing

    Dearie me, South Korea just 'hogged' that stone. So, skip Kim EunJung failed to release it before the red line. Aka the hog line.

    Like a foul throw in football. Though that doesn't usually cost you as dearly...

  15. Massive mistake gifts GB lead

    Round-robin: South Korea 5-6 Great Britain (after eight ends)

    Drama!

    South Korea's skip EunJung Kim has a clear shot to score with the final stone of the eighth end, but she gets a little yippy, holds onto the stone a little too long and sets off the sensor across the hog line.

    It has to be out of your hand by the time it crosses the line. It wasn't. So the stone is swept off the ice and Great Britain score two.

    That could be huge. Two ends to go...

  16. Muirhead puts in a guard

    Round-robin: South Korea 5-4 Great Britain (after seven ends)

    Eve Muirhead hollers at Jen Dodds to scrub harder. Dodds is furiously sweeping.

    Is that guard stone in the right place though?

    It looks like South Korea will have a route into the house and chance to build their lead...

  17. Tight in the eighth end

    Round-robin: South Korea 5-4 Great Britain (after seven ends)

    Eve Muirhead and EunJung Kim going toe to slidy toe.

    The respective skips land big stones with their first attempts.

    Great Britain lying two, but South Korea with the last say.

    Here we go...

  18. Your morning catch-up

    What's happened so far on Day Seven?

    Alarm just gone off and getting into the swing of Friday? Well, they've been at it in Beijing for the past seven hours or so.

  19. 'Work still to do'

    South Korea 5-4 Great Britain

    Michael Goodfellow
    Olympic silver medallist on BBC TV

    It shows the sign of a great team if they can grind out some wins while not playing great. There's lots of work still to do and they need to sharpen up on some of the tee shots.

  20. 'Could that be a turning point?'

    Round-robin: South Korea 5-4 Great Britain

    Thomas Duncan
    BBC Scotland in Beijing

    A much better draw in from Eve Muirhead to deny the South Koreans two. Could that be a turning point?

    GB will have to stifle them in this end and try to pinch the hammer.
