Great Britain's gold medal winning women were the only curling medallists at Beijing 2022 who did not finish in the top five in at least one of the last two World Championships.

In 2019, Britain's women finished 10th at the World Championships and last year they were two places higher in eighth.

Great Britain is the 23rd team to win gold at the 2022 Winter Olympics, beating the record of 22 set at Sochi 2014 and equalled at Pyeongchang 2018.

Four Olympic Games.

Consecutive semi-final defeats.

At last, Eve Muirhead has her gold medal.

They're packing up at the Ice Cube. I've seen 33 curling matches over the last three weeks.

A relief to witness two medals at the end of it.

Vice-skip Vicky Wright thanks everyone back at home for their support on their journey to the Olympic gold medal: "We have all had amazing support, we cannot thank our friends and family enough for everything they have done, everyone who has been behind us to make this dream become real.

"It doesn’t feel real."

Team GB skip Eve Muirhead has been speaking to BBC One after winning gold at her fourth Olympic Games: "It’s a dream come true for myself.

"It has been a journey to get here and to come out on top and to show our fight has really shown our strength.

"I am sure we are really going to enjoy the next few hours.

"That was my third semi-final, and the two I lost were hard but I bounced back and here we are. We are Olympic champions.

"It’s such a special moment."

Let's get some more reaction to Great Britain's brilliant victory in the women's curling final, shall we?

Eve Muirhead and her team have tried to put their feelings into words...

And that means there is just one more gold medal to be settled at Beijing 2022!

That one will be awarded in the men's ice hockey final, and it's reigning champions the Russian Olympic Committee who are in the lead.

They're 1-0 up against Finland following Mikhail Grigorenko's opener, with the match still in the first period. Long way to go!

Daniel McConaghy: The only sport I’ve followed for the whole two weeks of this Winter Olympics and a fantastic way to finish. Silver yesterday for the men and now the women finish it off with a Gold. Fantastic performance by all of them.

Lucy C: GOLD!!! that was worth staying up and being incredibly tired for-what a great game-brilliantly played and times. Well done Eve and the team

Mel: I stayed up to watch the GB Women’s Curling Team win GOLD and there has been no regrets! What a fab achievement and so absolutely chuffed for them and their win! Congrats to the Olympic Champions - the GB Women’s Curling Team!

BBC Two

If you missed any of the women's curling final, or you simply want to relive it all again, we have great news for you.

The match will be shown in its entirety on BBC Two from 08:00 GMT.

Enjoy!

Meanwhile, here's how Francesco Friedrich's team sealing the gold, which saw Friedrich win both the two-man and four-man events at a second consecutive Games.

Here's that fourth and final run from Brad Hall's four-man team which, forgivably, you may have missed during the curling.

I just spoke to pilot Brad Hall after GB's sixth-placed finish and here's what he had to say:

"Mixed emotions, we are all incredibly proud of our performance. We've all done really well, pushed incredibly fast.

"[We had the] top two starts. Drove down pretty well but just couldn't find the speed at the bottom of the track, so it's worth sixth place, very happy with that.

"It's a tough pill to swallow at the moment but we are incredibly proud of how we performed."

Here's what Team GB’s Chef de Mission Georgie Harland had to say on BBC One on Team GB missing their target of three to seven medals at Beijing 2022: "There have been performances of the future.

"Of course there have been performances that have been disappointing. The athletes will be the most disappointed out of everyone. They will go away and look at that and look to the future.

"I know there was a medal target set but we need to look at what we have done here over the last couple of days, and we will look at the wider picture when the time is right.

"The funding side of things is for UK Sport to decide, they will be looking at that. We will be going away from here and going a thorough debrief, we do that every time.

"We have to look beyond that, people are gripped back home by these curlers and I have absolute confidence there will be more going forward."

There were no medals for GB after 14 days in Beijing, but they will finish with two - and one gold - courtesy of the men's and women's curling teams.

It may not be as many medals as they had targeted, but still, what a high note for Team GB to end these Games on.

Eve Muirhead told me before the Olympics she was targeting that elusive gold. There was no messing about.

It wasn't farfetched, but nor did they come into this as red-hot favourites. They showed resilience to squeak through to the semi-finals and took it to another level when they got there.

Never give up!

Rickie Austin: Fair play to the Japanese though despite it not going their way they're still smiling and are rightfully proud of what they've achieved

Steve: So proud of women's Team GB curling but also proud of Team GB women's curling for being great opponents and losing gracefully.

Julianne: It's great to see Japan are equally delighted with their Silver medals They played fantastically well to get to the final I hope Team GB men are as delighted with their Silver as to win any Olympic medal is an amazing achievement

Elsewhere, the women's 30km cross-country ski is under way.

The podium spots are already taking shape after after six kilometres, with Norway's Therese Johaug clear of Jessie Diggins and Sweden's Ebba Andersson.

Johaug is chasing her third gold in Beijing.

It's a German one-two in the four-man bobsleigh, with Canada taking bronze.

German teams have won gold in all but one of the 10 sliding events at the Yanqing sliding centre.
