A huge sigh goes up from Amos Mosaner, he knows he played a loose shot there.

The Italy stone nudges two GB stones closer together before disappearing beyond the back of the house.

GB then call a time out to discuss tactics. They know this could be their opportunity.

That was a really tough shot for Jen Dodds, she couldn't see much of the target stone.

In the end, GB have got away losing just one there. Italy are playing well.

We said this was going to be a tough match for Great Britain and that's proving to be very much the case.

Jen Dodds cannot reach that Italy target stone at the back of the button with her final shot - one point to Italy.

The measure is out to see if they have pinched a second... and they haven't.

That could have been worse for GB, but Italy are starting to warm to their task now.

The last thing Italy want to do here is be too greedy and open it up for Britain.

Amos Mosaner does well to sweep Italy's fourth stone just past the guard and into a GB stone, landing just off the back of the button.

In response, Bruce Mouat cannons the guard out of the way with GB's penultimate stone, leaving the path clear for Jen Dodds.

One stone left each. Italy on course to extend their lead as it stands.

Anyone for a bit of positive thinking?

Walter Wallberg, the new men's moguls Olympic champion tore a cruciate ligament in February 2020 and when he returned eight months later he tore his meniscus.

He ploughed on with rehabilitation and at a recent press conference said: “If I only go at the level I know I can, I’ll have podium places in all the competitions. It feels like nothing can stop me."

That man was on to something wasn't he?

Two more to ski in this men's moguls final.

The star of the sport - Canada's Mikael Kingsbury - does a full fist pump as he crosses the line. He's delivered on his reputation there to put up 82.18, taking him into gold spot above Japan's Ikuma Horishima.

To Sweden's Walter Wallberg. It's all about him now. One run, one shot, one man to knock off top spot.

Here he comes, big air off jump one, he's flying down, jump two is huge, the landing superb.... he's home and claps his hands.

To the scorecards...

And then there were six.

The men's moguls super final is underway.

One run apiece, Frenchman Benjamin Cavet is third to take the 250m descent on and he is left punching the air in gold medal spot with three more men to fizz down.

Here comes Japan's Ikuma Horishima... an early wobble... he pulls in control, to the second jump.... endless spins and big air... the fastest run of the final so far but what about the marks for style and height?

He puts up a score of 81.48 and is in gold medal spot. Heartache for Cavet.

Two left to ski...

They do go for more! Italy's final stone fizzes down and nudges GB's red clear of the house.

Two was probably the least Italy wanted from that end - they now lead 3-2.

It looks like Italy are on for one point in the fourth end with one stone to play - though it is very, very tight.

Can they level things up - or even go for more?

One or two mistakes are starting to creep into the Italians' play. They are unbeaten in the competition, but this is their biggest test so far.

This curling match is living up the the cliche of being chess on ice. Not much between the sides, which is why that steal by GB was an important one.

Long way to go, though.

There was some vigorous sweeping by Bruce Mouat after Jen Dodds delivered the last GB stone of the third end.

And it paid off - the Italians were unable to respond. GB have stolen one and lead 2-1.

Slovenia's Ursa Bogataj sends herself down, the ice ripping underneath her and it's big to land in gold medal position. A second jump earns her 121 points, taking her total to 239.

Just two more to come down. Imagine how she's feeling inside...

To the National Ski Jumping Centre where the final few women are about to descend in a bid for gold...

The high standard of curling continued right through that second end.

We've had two similar ends and it already looks like being a tough and tight match.

Great Britain have the last stone in this second end but they score just one to make it 1-1.

Things are tense already.
