    "It's a mistake I haven't made before, definitely surprised that it happened and caught me off guard but that's elite racing, it happens in formula one and happens in bobsleigh, got to pick yourself up and carry on.

    "It didn't take us long to think about it [going for the fourth run], as long as we're both fit and healthy there's nothing stopping us. We've had this experience in bobsleigh before, you've got to get back up and go again there is no point waiting for the next day.

    "We've looked at some videos, looked at my mistakes and what happened and then you make adjustments straight away. I've driven the corner loads of times correctly and won't be long before I'm getting it right again.

    "We're looking forward to four-man now and progressing from there."

    Men's curling - Sweden 6-7 Great Britain

    Jackie Lockhart
    Four-time Olympic curler on BBC TV

    There's going to be a few games to go and it's amazing how things can change.

    It could be big for us [facing Canada] to see where we are going to finish in the table but it could also be big for Canada to see if they're going to be qualifying.

    All at stake but I'm so so glad our guys have done the work and qualified but, they're going to have to continue, they definitely want that top spot. They've got a lot to prove out here, but a wonderful performance today.
