Winter Olympics: Great Britain v Sweden men's curling final to start at 06:50 GMT on Saturday

Great Britain's men's Olympic curling final against Sweden on Saturday will now start at 06:50 GMT after an appeal by European broadcasters.

The match, in which Team GB will seek what could be a first gold of the 2022 Games will be shown live in the UK on BBC Two, iPlayer and the Sport website.

Organisers agreed to a request from broadcasters, including the BBC, to alter the original start time of 06:05.

Britain secured a place in the final by beating the USA 8-4 on Thursday.

The team, led by skip Bruce Mouat, guaranteed Britain's first medal of the Games with their semi-final victory.

The women's bronze medal game will remain at its original start time of 12:05 GMT on Saturday.

Great Britain has won curling gold twice before at the Winter Olympics. The men did so in 1924 - with the medals upgraded from demonstration status to official golds in 2006 - while the women were champions in 2002.
