    Gold-medal match: Great Britain 3-4 Sweden (after nine ends)

    Grant Hardie can't quite replicate the brilliance of the previous end.

    The red stone he shunts fails to take out one of its accomplises.

    This end is not crumbling Britain's way so far...

    Niklas Edin could just play a very open game, but that is a very dangerous game to play.

    Bobby Lammie is accurate as he bunts a couple of Swedish stones out of the house.

    Five rocks left for each team Still plenty of intrigue and tension to be wrung out of this one.

  9. McMillan clips Swedish guardpublished at 09:17 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2022

    Gold-medal match: Great Britain 3-4 Sweden (after nine ends)

    Hammy McMillan's effort clips a Swedish guard. Not a disaster. But not perfect either.

    The first wrinkle in the sheet of ice. The first twist in this final chapter.

  10. Tenth end under waypublished at 09:16 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2022

    Gold-medal match: Great Britain 3-4 Sweden (after nine ends)

    The usual tit-for-tat opening moves. The guards go up, centre and corner. A Swedish stone at the top of the inner circle. No mistakes. No margin for error.

    Bruce Mouat shoves his final stone out the back.

    Great Britain want the advantage of the last stone rather than a level scoreline heading into the final end.

    This is it people. Buckle up.

    What a roar in the stands for that double takeout from Grant Hardie. He's got an engineering degree, so he knows his angles.

    Looks like a blank end incoming...

    Grant Hardie!

    What! A! Shot!

    Superb from the British second as he lands a superb double take-out, pinballing between two red stones to send both spinning towards the boards.

    Three stones left for each team.

    Not too busy in the house.

    Are Britain going to try and grab a double? Or blank this end and keep the hammer, the advantage of playing the last stone, into the final end?

  17. Tight in the ninth endpublished at 09:05 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2022

    Gold-medal match: Great Britain 3-4 Sweden (after eight ends)

    Here we go then. The ninth end is up and running.

    Bobby Lammie with a precision missile of a stone to dynamite away a Swedish guard.

    Rasmus Wranaa replaces it.

    Lammie peels away another Swedish guard.

    Back and forth. To and fro. This is a war of attrition.

    The British team are definitely growing in strength and their stone placement is really key.

    I am very shocked at Niklas Edin in not trying to go for his two and then forcing Great Britain to get a one in the ninth before they go into the tenth so a real strange tactic for me.

  19. 'Extremely irresponsible' to hold Games in Chinapublished at 09:00 Greenwich Mean Time 19 February 2022

    One of the Sweden team's gold-medal winning team-mates has criticised the decision to hold the Olympics in a country accused of mass human rights abuses.

    Speedskater Nils van der Poel, speaking to Sportsbladet, , externalcompared the Beijing Games to those held in Nazi Germany in 1936.

    “The Olympic Village was very nice, the Chinese people I met were absolutely amazing,” he said.

    “The Olympics is a lot, it’s a fantastic sporting event where you unite the world and nations meet. But so did Hitler before invading Poland, and so did Russia before invading Ukraine.

    “I think it is extremely irresponsible to give it to a country that violates human rights as blatantly as the Chinese regime is doing.”

    Women in China's "re-education" camps for the minority Uighur population have been systematically raped, sexually abused, and tortured, according to detailed accounts obtained by the BBC.

    There are also allegations of forced sterilisation and the incarcation of as many as a million people.

    It's now or never for GB. They either need a score of two or more, or blank the end to keep the hammer in the last.

    Curlers these days know their stats in huge detail, and they'll know the chances of stealing one from Niklas Edin when he has the hammer in the final end are virtually zero.
