BBC One Day 15: GB Women in Curling Bronze Medal Match

0:00:40 > 0:00:44Hello, good morning. Chemmy Alcott is bag from Pyeongchang. Ben Kilner

0:00:44 > 0:00:48is with us as well and we are spinning around. We have one weekend

0:00:48 > 0:00:52left to revel in the weird and wonderful sports of the Winter

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Olympics. It is like going to a festival where your classical music

0:00:55 > 0:01:01in one corner, hard-rock in another, and hip-hop.There is everything.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05Yes, and the vibe is amazing. You have so many different kinds of

0:01:05 > 0:01:10athletes, some who want to party and some who like to drink tea.She

0:01:10 > 0:01:20looked at you when she said that. Drinking the?I like fizzy pop. One

0:01:20 > 0:01:24expert and snowboarding, one ounce meaningful /1 and skiing. They can

0:01:24 > 0:01:27mix and match is required. New to the game this year has been the

0:01:27 > 0:01:33sport of big air. It has taken everyone by storm by Team GB's

0:01:33 > 0:01:37representative, Billy Morgan, warmed up for it with a trip around

0:01:37 > 0:01:42Pyeongchang on his scooter. His balance is amazing. As a kid he was

0:01:42 > 0:01:46a gymnast. He started snowboarding on the dry slope in Southampton when

0:01:46 > 0:01:51he was 14 and did not go into the snow until he was 17. He is making

0:01:51 > 0:01:55the most of it. At the age of 28 he was the oldest competitor in the

0:01:55 > 0:02:01field as the big air took centre stage. Ed Leigh and Tim Warwood

0:02:01 > 0:02:03would in the commentary box. Cue the

0:02:03 > 0:02:03stage. Ed Leigh and Tim Warwood would in the commentary box. Cue the

0:02:03 > 0:02:09music. The British bands are now cheering.

0:02:09 > 0:02:16Yes, this is good news for us. Billy Morgan took a big hit in training.

0:02:16 > 0:02:23The fact he is a pure is great news. Hamish midnight and his team-mate,

0:02:23 > 0:02:28Rowan Coultas, next to him. Billy watching the flanks. He made it

0:02:28 > 0:02:37through with a big backside 1440 triple core. It immaculate and huge.

0:02:37 > 0:02:45-- cork.Bringing lots of speed into this front John. It is massive. It

0:02:45 > 0:02:56was huge. Backside triple core, with the nose grab. He was clinging to

0:02:56 > 0:03:00that with his fingernails. It was like hanging off the edge of a

0:03:00 > 0:03:08cliff. Huge. The prejudice on Billy. Landed on the bottom line.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Landed on the bottom line. 30 points. Billy Morgan has it all to

0:03:13 > 0:03:18do on his final two jumps.He has been in the game for more than a

0:03:18 > 0:03:25decade. Toutant. So strong. The Canadian, considered a veteran at

0:03:25 > 0:03:3225, but he can ride everything. He has had street rail parts. He has

0:03:32 > 0:03:37been a feature of podiums but of late, year as been eclipsed on the

0:03:37 > 0:03:43Canadian team by the likes of Max Parrot and Mark McMorris.Switch,

0:03:43 > 0:03:50front side. 1620. The first rider to send it properly deeper into the

0:03:50 > 0:03:58landing.That is very, very nice. That is massive. In massive trick.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02Sebastien Toutant has put himself very much in the running for this.

0:04:02 > 0:04:07That is a massive trick. There you go. The judges leaving themselves

0:04:07 > 0:04:13somewhere to go.

0:04:15 > 0:04:17somewhere to go.Next it is the Norwegian, Torgeir Bergrem. We

0:04:17 > 0:04:23watched him yesterday. He was sniffing around Max Parrot's trick.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28He took a massive hit from the landing, flat on its face, but good

0:04:28 > 0:04:36to back today.Backside 1620.In massive, massive trick. Look at the

0:04:36 > 0:04:43Norwegians. Here's a snowboarder's snowboarder. He is the Ryan Giggs of

0:04:43 > 0:04:49snowboarding, the one widely considered to be skilful.Look at

0:04:49 > 0:04:52that, keeping the board straight on the take-off. The judges were like

0:04:52 > 0:05:02that, using the grab rails on the board to full effect.He is happy.

0:05:02 > 0:05:08First place for Bergrem, and deservedly so.

0:05:09 > 0:05:19deservedly so. Back to the top, and this man is the king of big air.

0:05:20 > 0:05:28So, the Canadian dropping in normal, forwards. Backside triple court

0:05:28 > 0:05:331620.

0:05:33 > 0:05:411620. -- cork.That was a work of art. The whole trick is done on the

0:05:41 > 0:05:47take-off. He is not fighting it. The whole trick is done on the take-off.

0:05:47 > 0:05:53The 180 looks like it is part of the trick. Max Parrot, we know he has

0:05:53 > 0:06:02got the army below 1820 in his bag. He now has to make at the Brexiteer

0:06:02 > 0:06:131800. Two Canadians and Norwegian. Kyle Mack is the only other rider to

0:06:13 > 0:06:16score more than 80. Billy is under pressure. He has worked so hard to

0:06:16 > 0:06:22get here. He has had a tale of the lateral cruciate ligament. It kept

0:06:22 > 0:06:30him off his board for a month before the game.Come on, Billy.Massive,

0:06:30 > 0:06:38again. And he holds it up. It was huge. He put the nose grab on it,

0:06:38 > 0:06:45the hardest grab.Yes. Really, really nice. A massive triple. If

0:06:45 > 0:06:51the judges are wording size, they have got to give him a big present

0:06:51 > 0:06:57for that one. My goodness. He borrowed Chuck Norris's size to put

0:06:57 > 0:07:08this one down. And relief for the British fans watching.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13British fans watching.82.5. That is a school run the board. Billy Morgan

0:07:13 > 0:07:21has a serious shot. Next, Sebastien Toutant. The Canadian is sat on a

0:07:21 > 0:07:31very, very powerful 84.70 five.A bit of breathing room.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35bit of breathing room. I think it is fair to say that this kid is a video

0:07:35 > 0:07:44game snowboarder. He is going to go backside again.Backside 1620. How

0:07:44 > 0:07:49did he hold onto that? He was like a rodeo clown at the bottom.Massive,

0:07:49 > 0:07:55massive second hit.The man from call-back. He looked like he was

0:07:55 > 0:07:59hanging onto Palomino at a rodeo under way out but somehow the

0:07:59 > 0:08:09jihadist stayed in contact with the snow. This is very precious. That

0:08:09 > 0:08:16puts him in a very, very strong position.

0:08:21 > 0:08:28I want to see this boy do well, Kyle Mack, a powerhouse. He is so

0:08:28 > 0:08:39masterly.He is a human track. If you have got a set of wire gates you

0:08:39 > 0:08:45need smashing down, drive this boy at them. Come on. He has already got

0:08:45 > 0:08:54the backside 1440. No. That is a bloody Dracula. I am not swinging.

0:08:54 > 0:09:01That is the name of the grab. Both hands on the tail. I have never seen

0:09:01 > 0:09:05it in 14. I have seen him do it in a 14.I have seen him do it in 1080. I

0:09:05 > 0:09:10do not think he can believe he has put that down. Full rotation, both

0:09:10 > 0:09:15hands back on the tail. He is fizzing after that one.Not massive

0:09:15 > 0:09:22but we saw what happened with riders stepping out of the ordinary and

0:09:22 > 0:09:26pulling off a different grab in Sochi. It dominated slopestyle

0:09:26 > 0:09:36frame. I think Cal Mac can do the same. This will be close to 90.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38same. This will be close to 90.Two big scores. Second place at the

0:09:38 > 0:09:45moment.

0:09:45 > 0:09:51moment.Max Parrot, an incredible work ethic. The second man after

0:09:51 > 0:09:55Billy Morgan to land a quad cork. Been accused of lacking style at

0:09:55 > 0:10:00times but he has certainly address that. Are we going to see the

0:10:00 > 0:10:09Brexiteer 1800? So much speed. Is this it?He has gone. He has landed

0:10:09 > 0:10:13hundreds of those in training and suddenly everything is wide open.We

0:10:13 > 0:10:20knew he landed his take the final was put to bed. And we have got that

0:10:20 > 0:10:24lovely finish. We are coming to the boil. We have that lovely finish

0:10:24 > 0:10:30where the pressure is on Max Parrot. The game goes down. Right on his

0:10:30 > 0:10:35face. Do you want any grated cheek on your cheese on toast?That is

0:10:35 > 0:10:49like sandpaper. Let's take a look at the standings after the second run.

0:10:50 > 0:10:57So, Billy Morgan, I think, is going to go for the front side 1440 triple

0:10:57 > 0:11:03cork. If he lands this year is well within the medal scores. Billy is

0:11:03 > 0:11:07the second of 12 riders to drop in the third and final jumps of men's

0:11:07 > 0:11:14cork.

0:11:14 > 0:11:17cork.-- men's big air. We know the whole of Southampton is watching

0:11:17 > 0:11:20this. They have rented the sports centre.He needs to go

0:11:20 > 0:11:26stratospheric. That is not something he struggles with, to be honest.

0:11:26 > 0:11:40Come on, Billy Morgan. Double grab. Yes. The double grab 14. That is

0:11:40 > 0:11:46massive. That is huge. My goodness. He slammed in practice and dropped

0:11:46 > 0:11:53his first jump. He has delivered the second and third John.This is very,

0:11:53 > 0:12:02very precious. The double grab. He is grabbing the pale. They will love

0:12:02 > 0:12:09it. Luke O'Dea papers. One line, two lines. Beautiful. He stands up like

0:12:09 > 0:12:20Michael Matt from Knight Rider. Yes, Billy Morgan. -- Michael Knight.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24Billy Morgan moves into bronze medal position. It is a very long and

0:12:24 > 0:12:36nervous wait for the man from Southampton. This man is in very,

0:12:36 > 0:12:43very nice position. He is at the top with one jump to spare. Weight is

0:12:43 > 0:12:50Toutant going to take this third and final jump?How about this? I think

0:12:50 > 0:12:58the judges have been leaving plenty in reserve.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01in reserve.Having not landed to Michael Johns, would you trust that

0:13:01 > 0:13:06Chris Corning would not land acquired?No. He was doing it in

0:13:06 > 0:13:14Minchin Gladbach. For fun. He has gone massive.He tried to tidy up

0:13:14 > 0:13:21the first jump use from him. The Brexiteer 16. He tried to go even

0:13:21 > 0:13:26bigger. He wanted to add to that 84.7. This would be such a massive

0:13:26 > 0:13:34result. Yule look back over his results yesterday and he -- you look

0:13:34 > 0:13:39over his results in the last year and it was only in call-back like he

0:13:39 > 0:13:45was the winner. That looked like visualisation of the quadruple cork.

0:13:45 > 0:13:53Yes.This jump is too small to see that trick. It looks like it. Surely

0:13:53 > 0:14:02not. I think he's going for it.This will be history. The first Olympic

0:14:02 > 0:14:11quad. It will be the first quad in competition.I think is going. I

0:14:11 > 0:14:16have never seen him this site got. Let's see. He is going to have to

0:14:16 > 0:14:32rip this so hard.He nearly made it. My goodness. The backside quad cork.

0:14:32 > 0:14:36It makes its appearance at the Olympics. We have been talking about

0:14:36 > 0:14:43it since day one at the slopestyle and we finally see it. Chris Corning

0:14:43 > 0:14:46has been building his entire career on the idea that he is going to come

0:14:46 > 0:14:50to the Olympics and land a quad cork. Then the jump is too small

0:14:50 > 0:14:58when he gets here.Has that Stockton? No. He has ripped it.Phil

0:14:58 > 0:15:06credit to this man. Two, three. He dips late. He actually gets it down.

0:15:06 > 0:15:12He only needed a tiny bit more.

0:15:12 > 0:15:19Chris Corning has bent physics. Next in, Karl Mac, currently in silver

0:15:19 > 0:15:25medal position. An improvement of his first jump, the backside 1440

0:15:25 > 0:15:36Japan which scored 82. If he can bump that up, he will need an 87. He

0:15:36 > 0:15:42can pull this up to an 87 or higher and he can move into gold medal

0:15:42 > 0:15:47position. I don't think we can see a 1440 that

0:15:47 > 0:15:53high. He either needs a 16 or grab that is

0:15:53 > 0:16:06truly out this world. I think we have seen as high as that can go.

0:16:07 > 0:16:19He very nearly ran to 18.

0:16:19 > 0:16:21I think he was trying to take that brand.

0:16:21 > 0:16:30I am looking at this and of all the riders left, Mark McMorris, Boesiger

0:16:30 > 0:16:34and Garcia Knight have all dropped their first jumps, there is only one

0:16:34 > 0:16:43man left who can knock everyone out. Seb Toutant is guaranteed a silver.

0:16:43 > 0:16:51Kyle Mack is guaranteed a bronze. Billy Morgan can only get blasted by

0:16:51 > 0:16:54Max Parrot.You are looking at that man now.

0:16:54 > 0:17:01The whole of the UK now needs to watch this jump through their eyes,

0:17:01 > 0:17:07of course through their eyes! Through their fingers. That is how

0:17:07 > 0:17:13besides myself I am, I am so torn between my friend in bronze medal

0:17:13 > 0:17:16position and one of the best snowboarders in the world about to

0:17:16 > 0:17:20try to do business here on this big air jump.

0:17:20 > 0:17:29The hardest trick we will see today after Chris Corning's attempt at the

0:17:29 > 0:17:32quad 1800. Make no mistake, he is here for a

0:17:32 > 0:17:40gold medal.He is coming in backwards.

0:17:40 > 0:17:48backwards. Oh, no! He has gone. What! Max Parrot scaling back, he

0:17:48 > 0:17:59scales back his jump and Mrs! He has gone for gold and has gone home with

0:17:59 > 0:18:07nothing -- and misses. We said it was a long shot, Billy Morgan,

0:18:07 > 0:18:13Southampton's finest snowboarder will go home a bronze medal.

0:18:13 > 0:18:19In exactly the same way that Jenny Jones worked so hard and was able to

0:18:19 > 0:18:24crown and impressive career with the glory of an Olympic medal, Billy

0:18:24 > 0:18:29Morgan has done the same. The man who has pioneered so many tricks but

0:18:29 > 0:18:37really struggled for that acceptance from the sport, has come here and

0:18:37 > 0:18:41landed two breathtaking tricks under pressure to take it over medal. The

0:18:41 > 0:18:46story is not so different for Sebastien Toutant in gold medal

0:18:46 > 0:18:52position. It is so lovely seeing these two big powerhouse nations,

0:18:52 > 0:18:57Canada and America, matched very closely by Britain, one of the

0:18:57 > 0:19:03minnows in snowboarding. Billy Morgan, one of the most courageous

0:19:03 > 0:19:07and pioneering of snowboarders will stop he has earned his abroad here

0:19:07 > 0:19:13with the first ever big air in Korea, a bronze medal,

0:19:13 > 0:19:17congratulations, Billy.

0:19:17 > 0:19:25You legend! What a wild ride that was.What are you thinking this

0:19:25 > 0:19:31second? I don't know. I had such bad training, I felt on the first, I

0:19:31 > 0:19:35thought it was game over. I went into the rest hoping I won't fall

0:19:35 > 0:19:41over three times. All my mates are in a bar at home watching. I don't

0:19:41 > 0:19:46want to fall over three times. That was your mind set.

0:19:46 > 0:19:55If I land at least one I will be stoked.But it was two. You had that

0:19:55 > 0:19:58crash, second one you landed, what were you thinking in the third?

0:19:58 > 0:20:07I thought I needed another go. Hamish was going, going a little bit

0:20:07 > 0:20:11slower and time it right. I landed on and I didn't know what to do.Has

0:20:11 > 0:20:17it sunk in you will a bronze medallist.It will hit me later. I

0:20:17 > 0:20:22never expected it. If you come in thinking I am shooting for a medal,

0:20:22 > 0:20:29you are ready for it.I didn't. Two weeks ago and the situation with

0:20:29 > 0:20:34your injury?No, as I said, I would have been stowed just to make the

0:20:34 > 0:20:35finals. Happy Days.

0:20:41 > 0:20:46He had his knee reconstructed two years ago. There he is.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49So, that bronze for Billy Morgan means that the 2018 Winter Olympics

0:20:49 > 0:20:53is the best performance by a British team in the history of these Games

0:20:53 > 0:20:56since they began in 1924.

0:21:03 > 0:21:08Five already and potentially six to come. Eve Muirhead will be doing all

0:21:08 > 0:21:15she can. Let us talk about Billy Morgan. How respected is he in the

0:21:15 > 0:21:21world of snowboarding? Massively, he is such a nice guy.

0:21:21 > 0:21:27The riders absolutely love him. He has worked so hard. He had to

0:21:27 > 0:21:35overcome injuries. He is so critical about his own snowboarding. I don't

0:21:35 > 0:21:40think he realises how big it is yet winning a bronze medal. I am sure it

0:21:40 > 0:21:46will sink into night. He creates new tricks. We saw on the

0:21:46 > 0:21:50first one he was trying something that didn't quite

0:21:50 > 0:21:57he went for a backside triple cork. That jump is holding him back in

0:21:57 > 0:22:03little bit. Sorry, that is the one he did land,

0:22:03 > 0:22:07landing two out of three. It must build the pressure when you

0:22:07 > 0:22:11know you have two. He has not helped himself, he failed

0:22:11 > 0:22:15all his runs in training so he has really left it to the very end to

0:22:15 > 0:22:21put it down. You can tell how overwhelmed he is when he is riding

0:22:21 > 0:22:26away. I don't think he can quite believe it. He has managed to fight

0:22:26 > 0:22:31to stay on his feet. That trick is so new to him. He has

0:22:31 > 0:22:36managed to learn this just recently. For him to put it down in an Olympic

0:22:36 > 0:22:41run is amazing. He has only ever landed that trick

0:22:41 > 0:22:45that got him the bronze just once before.

0:22:45 > 0:22:56He did that on Saturday. Just once. He never tried it again.We have a

0:22:56 > 0:22:57high-tech demonstration!

0:23:01 > 0:23:07He is right foot forward. He comes up the jump, triple cork means you

0:23:07 > 0:23:22are on an ex-access, not quite upside down but on a diagonal.

0:23:22 > 0:23:27upside down but on a diagonal. -- X axis.

0:23:27 > 0:23:31What is impressive is it is a Blind side landing, coming in backwards.

0:23:31 > 0:23:37Coming through and he gets to turn his head that way and land.

0:23:37 > 0:23:42How much cost and that it take to land that when you had to judge the

0:23:42 > 0:23:45landing. It is huge, they are not getting

0:23:45 > 0:23:51much visual in the air. They are going purely by feeling. To do that

0:23:51 > 0:23:58takes practice which Billy didn't really get.It is very impressive.

0:23:58 > 0:24:02Extraordinary, congratulations. Sebastien Toutant took the gold for

0:24:02 > 0:24:08Canada, therefore the snowboarding gold medal of the Games. Canadian

0:24:08 > 0:24:13fans have been going up to Americans saying you keep beating us and

0:24:13 > 0:24:20ruining our Games! But it is OK in the world of snowboarding.

0:24:20 > 0:24:26For the British, five medals won so far. Could it be six? Eve Muirhead

0:24:26 > 0:24:29is determined to make the best of a campaign that has been full of ups

0:24:29 > 0:24:33and downs.

0:24:33 > 0:24:39The gold medal at the Olympics is the one I am missing in my

0:24:39 > 0:24:44collection. To stand on top of the podium would be extra special.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48COMMENTATOR: A tricky start for the British quartet. She has done it

0:24:48 > 0:24:53superbly well. We outplayed the Russians and to get

0:24:53 > 0:24:59a win on the board is nice. COMMENTATOR: It has gone through,

0:24:59 > 0:25:06USA win the match. Goodness me, we can all breathe a

0:25:06 > 0:25:13huge sigh of relief.

0:25:14 > 0:25:20Wow. That is a big disappointment. I

0:25:20 > 0:25:25guess any loss is tough but bosses like that are even harder.

0:25:25 > 0:25:32It has got the red light on it.The first stone I think I have ever

0:25:32 > 0:25:43hoped in my life. -- hogged. COMMENTATOR: What a shot, that was a

0:25:43 > 0:25:49peach. A superb team performance, Great Britain have cemented their

0:25:49 > 0:25:56place in the final four. To get a spot in the semifinal was

0:25:56 > 0:25:59our goal, I am delighted. COMMENTATOR: We are ready to rumble

0:25:59 > 0:26:07against Sweden. A very good shot indeed.

0:26:07 > 0:26:13And Great Britain's hopes at such a low point in that end.

0:26:13 > 0:26:20We still have a medal to play for.

0:26:21 > 0:26:28Here they go, they will be taking on Japan. Lauren Gray is the lead.

0:26:28 > 0:26:33Always smiling Vicki Adams and bubbly Anna Sloan who takes the

0:26:33 > 0:26:38penultimate two stones before Eve Muirhead takes over for the final

0:26:38 > 0:26:46two deliveries. Just after 11am we will be live with that bronze medal

0:27:14 > 0:27:22So, Football Focus will now be on BBC Two from 12.

0:27:23 > 0:27:31Now, though, on BBC One, it's time for the fast show!

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Bobsleigh world champion Nicola Minichiello is with me

0:27:49 > 0:27:56to discuss a developing story from Pyeongchang.

0:27:56 > 0:27:57Earlier in the week,

0:27:57 > 0:27:58we saw the best ever result

0:27:58 > 0:28:01for a women's bob when Mica McNeill and Mica Moore finished eighth,

0:28:01 > 0:28:03despite being dropped from the funding programme

0:28:03 > 0:28:08by the British Bobsleigh Association.

0:28:09 > 0:28:13we had two crews in the four-man bob, a final chance for glory in the

0:28:13 > 0:28:14sliding events.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16Let's first see the best

0:28:16 > 0:28:17and the worst of the first two runs

0:28:17 > 0:28:20from the Alpensia Sliding Centre with the man who piloted

0:28:25 > 0:28:32We have had the luge and skeleton, but this is where the big guys moved

0:28:32 > 0:28:41into town, the four-man. Next, a powerful team from Germany.

0:28:41 > 0:28:48Francesco Friedrich famously dead heated for the two and gold.

0:28:48 > 0:28:56A new stop record.That is what one of these teams bring to the party,

0:28:56 > 0:29:02these are the top starters with so much velocity. He nailed the corner.

0:29:02 > 0:29:08As long as he gets things right, being in contention. He has been

0:29:08 > 0:29:14flying in training. He has been good in this part. One of the best lines

0:29:14 > 0:29:19we will see. Just losing a bit of speed. Maybe now there have been a

0:29:19 > 0:29:25handful of sleds, that line through the chicane has helped him.

0:29:25 > 0:29:34A little tap off 15. Maintaining the advantage.

0:29:34 > 0:29:39Hats off to the Koreans, they have clearly done well. You can see what

0:29:39 > 0:29:43it means to Friedrich chasing another gold medal.

0:29:43 > 0:29:47A little bit of a shift towards the left of the screen as you look at

0:29:47 > 0:29:52it. But that was a really good run, he got through their clean. They are

0:29:52 > 0:29:58all packed in through that corner. A little touch. Almost touching.

0:29:58 > 0:30:04That really was the only mistake. Lamin Deen, the first of the great

0:30:04 > 0:30:10British pairings we see. With Toby Olubi from London, Ben Simons from

0:30:10 > 0:30:16Shrewsbury and Andrew Matthews from Slough, all in their 30s. Laming

0:30:16 > 0:30:20Dean is 36, probably his last Games, fifth in the World Championships

0:30:20 > 0:30:29three years ago. Their second Olympic Games.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31Olympic Games. After their training, it looked like there was room for

0:30:31 > 0:30:37movement.

0:30:38 > 0:30:42The British team have not found a speed down the track. Hopefully the

0:30:42 > 0:30:45runners will work well on the ice temperatures they have got.Let's

0:30:45 > 0:30:52see it start time. Inside five seconds. But one of the slowest way

0:30:52 > 0:30:57of those we have seen so far.That did not look clean. This is the

0:30:57 > 0:31:02issue he has been having all the way through training. Conor two has been

0:31:02 > 0:31:07causing problems. That is going to throw speed away. I think Lamin Deen

0:31:07 > 0:31:11will be struggling to stay within the top 12 at the moment. We know

0:31:11 > 0:31:16how much that cost time at the top. Hopefully he can get is run right.

0:31:16 > 0:31:21It is not looking clean. I think we will see the British Rohingya drop

0:31:21 > 0:31:24well back in the order which is not what they want.Things ebbing away

0:31:24 > 0:31:32again. Not the happy start we were hoping for. Lamin Deen and his three

0:31:32 > 0:31:38colleagues. He flashes through, less than a second away from the leader.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41You can see that Ben Simons messes up as they are getting in which

0:31:41 > 0:31:46delays the team getting in. Toby tries to get his big arms in and

0:31:46 > 0:31:50that is why they had the big switch at the top. That is 630 kilos Andy

0:31:50 > 0:31:57Hall Rohingya is not on the ice. Any chance of Britain winning a medal on

0:31:57 > 0:32:01that run is gone. They need to set their sights on the top ten at

0:32:01 > 0:32:07least.The second team for Great Britain, ranked 12th in the world,

0:32:07 > 0:32:11Brad Hall, 12th in the two-man event with Greg Cackett. Joel Fearon and

0:32:11 > 0:32:21Nick Gleeson.

0:32:24 > 0:32:28The opening World Cup event of the season. One of only two top ten

0:32:28 > 0:32:35finishes. Can they put in a better run than Deen? Let's keep our

0:32:35 > 0:32:41fingers crossed.That is a lot better start from them. This is

0:32:41 > 0:32:44where they need to get through. Brad Hall has been having trouble all

0:32:44 > 0:32:50week. That is the first rung he has got it right so good ever to get it

0:32:50 > 0:32:55right in the race. We saw from two man that he can drive this track

0:32:55 > 0:32:58well. He finished in eighth place last year in a World Cup race or he

0:32:58 > 0:33:02drive this track. He needs to relax into it and CV can get through

0:33:02 > 0:33:08cleanly. That is as good as any of the top pilots we have seen. Just

0:33:08 > 0:33:12coming a little bit late. This is a good run from Brad Hall to give the

0:33:12 > 0:33:19Brits a little bit of a chance of having a top ten finish.Maybe

0:33:19 > 0:33:24coming out of 15. The top ten might elude him. He finishes in 15th.This

0:33:24 > 0:33:29is good from the guys. I think Joel Fearon had taken some steps to fire

0:33:29 > 0:33:34but this is the best run that Brad Hall has had down here in a four man

0:33:34 > 0:33:38this week. This will give him confidence he has nailed Conor two.

0:33:38 > 0:33:45Hopefully we can start to pull back. The Brits are in 15th and 16th at

0:33:45 > 0:33:48the moment. Certainly Lamin Deen was expecting to be around the top five

0:33:48 > 0:33:54when we spoke to him yesterday. There is the leaderboard. Friedrich

0:33:54 > 0:33:58leads from the Koreans.

0:34:06 > 0:34:10Obviously the Germans are always going to be strong, but from a

0:34:10 > 0:34:13British point of view, very disappointing performance. It was

0:34:13 > 0:34:19below par. They should be fighting for medals, not the top 20.That is

0:34:19 > 0:34:23how it has worked out for the British pair, Brad Hall and Lamin

0:34:23 > 0:34:26Deen.

0:34:34 > 0:34:38Run number two stands for Great Britain. Lamin Deen, very

0:34:38 > 0:34:43disappointing with his 19th place after the first run, together with

0:34:43 > 0:34:46Ben Simons, Toby Olubi, and Andrew Matthews. What do they need to put

0:34:46 > 0:34:52right this time around?Run on was such a disappointment. On the band,

0:34:52 > 0:34:57Ben Simons had trouble getting in, he was overbalanced. On the whole,

0:34:57 > 0:35:04Lamin Deen needs to sort out corner two.They will push away. 4.98 was

0:35:04 > 0:35:08their start time in the first run. They've seen the Americans go

0:35:08 > 0:35:15quicker.They have done exactly the same. Not great velocity. He has

0:35:15 > 0:35:18been having issues again. He may struggle for claim against the

0:35:18 > 0:35:23Americans. That was the same mistake. Lamin Deen has not been

0:35:23 > 0:35:29driving well. It is difficult to get these Rohingyas into the slide. They

0:35:29 > 0:35:32are so planted but once you do, you know the pilot is making big

0:35:32 > 0:35:42mistakes. Again, it he comes in late. You have seen him flick into

0:35:42 > 0:35:55the corner. He has the conditions to pull away from the Americans.

0:35:56 > 0:35:58pull away from the Americans.He has extended his lead over the Americans

0:35:58 > 0:36:04slightly.That was a lot better. Toby Spence too long for me. Just a

0:36:04 > 0:36:09little tab as you see the noise coming to corner 12. The big mistake

0:36:09 > 0:36:14for Lamin Deen was exit two, exit four. The bag looks like it is going

0:36:14 > 0:36:21to roll in. A little bit further and that would have been a crash.Next

0:36:21 > 0:36:25goal for Great Britain, Brad Hall, with Nick Gleeson, Joel Fearon and

0:36:25 > 0:36:34Greg Cackett. They start 16th after run number one. Overall, the mood

0:36:34 > 0:36:38was similar to Lamin Deen. One of slight frustration that it was not

0:36:38 > 0:36:46quicker down the hill.It certainly is frustration for them. Brad Hall

0:36:46 > 0:36:50is a young pilot, he has only been driving for four years. He does not

0:36:50 > 0:36:56have the experience in the four man. Around 16 is a relatively good

0:36:56 > 0:36:59result, although on paper it does not seem like that for his

0:36:59 > 0:37:03development. They had a good start, the Kerry did velocity and they are

0:37:03 > 0:37:09one of the best grilled teams. 94 again, that is where they need to

0:37:09 > 0:37:18be. They have got did velocity. He has just made a mistake in two. That

0:37:18 > 0:37:22cost in the mistaken four, which cost in the mistaken five. This is

0:37:22 > 0:37:25the difference between the top pilots. We have seen another tiny

0:37:25 > 0:37:31little mistake. All these little differences cost time. This track is

0:37:31 > 0:37:36so easy to lose speed are hard to find it. He will drop back at least

0:37:36 > 0:37:43a couple of spots.You

0:37:43 > 0:37:45a couple of spots.You probably saw Mica Moore and Mica McNeill giving

0:37:45 > 0:37:50them a good sendoff, but the run was not a particularly happy one.

0:37:50 > 0:37:54Regular mistakes for Brad Hall. Everybody driving ban the bars.

0:37:54 > 0:38:00Stepping in, loading. The little twitch by the pilot keeps it

0:38:00 > 0:38:04straight. He has already made mistakes at the top. This is another

0:38:04 > 0:38:09one. It is a knock-on effect from corner two. That is cause them to

0:38:09 > 0:38:17move back down the order.Now the pressure is on the Korean team. Won

0:38:17 > 0:38:21Yunjong, with Jun Junglin, and Seo Youngwoo and Kim Donghyun. A

0:38:21 > 0:38:25brilliant first run, but they went first. How much of an advantage was

0:38:25 > 0:38:31that an fresh ice? We will see now. It was a tremendous time. Surely

0:38:31 > 0:38:38they cannot get around that this time around on a deteriorating

0:38:38 > 0:38:41track?It will be interesting. Sometimes you have to take those

0:38:41 > 0:38:44opportunities and by going first they gave themselves an opportunity

0:38:44 > 0:38:52to get any makes. Listening to everybody else driving these lines,

0:38:52 > 0:38:57Hemant Nico Walther are some of the best. He is coming through the

0:38:57 > 0:39:01corners quickly because he knows the track so well. He is staying ahead

0:39:01 > 0:39:05of the Germans but the Germans were so quick at the bottom of the track.

0:39:05 > 0:39:10He is keeping himself in contention. He absolutely threads that. I did

0:39:10 > 0:39:14not expect them to stay in front of the Germans, because of the

0:39:14 > 0:39:19difference in the track but he is doing a great job.He was nine

0:39:19 > 0:39:25hundredths ahead of Walther. The gap closes a little bit. The Koreans

0:39:25 > 0:39:31have done brilliantly. Tomorrow any medal chase they are right in the

0:39:31 > 0:39:35thick of things.Look at what it means to the hometown team. This is

0:39:35 > 0:39:41a great view into the first corner. The team have already loaded. He

0:39:41 > 0:39:48takes a different line, but lately are all headstone, shoulders, heads,

0:39:48 > 0:39:53knees interlocked.That is a big one. Francesco Friedrich goes for

0:39:53 > 0:40:01Germany. A 4.8 start time would send them on their way. They currently do

0:40:01 > 0:40:06is after the first run.He has been fast. We know he is fast because he

0:40:06 > 0:40:11has already won a gold medal. He has got the poles perfect. You can

0:40:11 > 0:40:17hardly hear him. You can see the gap opening out. It is because of the

0:40:17 > 0:40:20stark difference. It may be that he will keep that and start moving

0:40:20 > 0:40:28away. If he does the gold medal is sewn up. In the middle, AV has not

0:40:28 > 0:40:32found the speed, maybe everyone else has a chance of catching him. If he

0:40:32 > 0:40:39comes down with more than two pairs, he will be hard to catch.He is

0:40:39 > 0:40:47clean and 15. Does this give Friedrich a great chance of the gold

0:40:47 > 0:40:51medal? He is nearly three pairs in front of the Koreans. Look what it

0:40:51 > 0:40:55meant to the coaching teams. Friedrich already has a gold medal

0:40:55 > 0:41:01from the two-man event.It is a professional team, all the way down.

0:41:01 > 0:41:06No real mistakes. A real high line into two and you see adjust the

0:41:06 > 0:41:10stealing. Just a little tab before he goes in. It did not cause him any

0:41:10 > 0:41:15speed. I think the gold medal is theirs to lose. It is about fighting

0:41:15 > 0:41:22for silver and bronze.Friedrich with a really big lead over Won

0:41:22 > 0:41:29Yunjong of South Korea in second place.

0:41:30 > 0:41:35I surprised to be back where you are. Most definitely. We had quite a

0:41:35 > 0:41:39surprise a few days ago in regards to equipment so we had to change and

0:41:39 > 0:41:45equipment. We had a setup that worked very well.But we had to

0:41:45 > 0:41:50change that. Why did you have to change your runners?I runners, yes.

0:41:50 > 0:41:54We had to change because there was a technicality with one of the rear

0:41:54 > 0:42:02runners. Again, the rules are the rules. We had to change. We could

0:42:02 > 0:42:06not train or test the sets we wanted to test but that is how it is, that

0:42:06 > 0:42:07is racing.

0:42:07 > 0:42:09to test but that is how it is, that is racing.Actually, to explain

0:42:09 > 0:42:13more, what he is pointing out, Matthew Ellis John Jackson about

0:42:13 > 0:42:13what

0:42:13 > 0:42:18Matthew Ellis John Jackson about what went wrong. The two British

0:42:18 > 0:42:23Rohingyas further back in the field. Both of them have talked about their

0:42:23 > 0:42:27equipment not been great, not getting on with it. Lamin Deen

0:42:27 > 0:42:30particularly has talked about runners. We have got the best prop

0:42:30 > 0:42:36in the world, we have got a runner. What are we looking at? This is a

0:42:36 > 0:42:40two-man runner. It was from one of the Rohingyas that Brad raced in in

0:42:40 > 0:42:46the two-man event. You can see the difference, the profile. It is

0:42:46 > 0:42:51interchangeable. They can do what they want with that. The length of

0:42:51 > 0:42:55the -- the length of the runner, they can put a slight bowing to

0:42:55 > 0:43:00change what it is.It is not sharp, it surprised me. It is smooth to the

0:43:00 > 0:43:06touch.You spend hours sanding them. Yes, we spend hours polishing them

0:43:06 > 0:43:11to a mirror finish, not like the luge. It is more of a jihadist. --

0:43:11 > 0:43:18it is more of an edge.

0:43:18 > 0:43:24The issue that the British team have had, it is this depth. His has been

0:43:24 > 0:43:31under the legal limit. That is why it is deemed as illegal. Do we know

0:43:31 > 0:43:35how much by? It is from years and years of polishing but I do not know

0:43:35 > 0:43:39how much by. It takes fractions of a millimetre of every time you polish

0:43:39 > 0:43:43it.Eventually you run out of material. Might they have known that

0:43:43 > 0:43:47we be close coming into the game, perhaps at the back of your mind?

0:43:47 > 0:43:54They have been close in the past. But a different part of the

0:43:54 > 0:43:57technical examination team has looked at it and said, we are not

0:43:57 > 0:44:02accepting that for the Olympics.To the outsider, what is the big deal?

0:44:02 > 0:44:06You find more, put them on the bottom of your sled and crack on.

0:44:06 > 0:44:14What is the problem? This is worth £6,000. A set of four-man runners

0:44:14 > 0:44:18can set you back £8,000. People do not give you good sets lying around

0:44:18 > 0:44:22at the Olympic Games because they want to beat you. And they would not

0:44:22 > 0:44:26have spares? They might have spares but not as the same standard as what

0:44:26 > 0:44:33has been deemed illegal if they were the top race runners.Not a great

0:44:33 > 0:44:38position for the Great Britain sleds. Both with equipment issues.

0:44:38 > 0:44:44How can they improve overnight? Is this competition beyond them?

0:44:44 > 0:44:49Realistically, we are looking at the top 15 at best. Hopefully one of the

0:44:49 > 0:44:56sleds can move within that.I suppose, difficult conversations

0:44:56 > 0:45:00around the sport. Not within the crews at the moment, but horrendous

0:45:00 > 0:45:03port and funding and performance. This is nowhere near where they

0:45:03 > 0:45:06wanted to be?They were all confident coming into this Games.

0:45:06 > 0:45:10They both had podiums this year. They were ranked 11th and 12th

0:45:10 > 0:45:16coming into this. At least you would think, fight for a top ten position.

0:45:16 > 0:45:22To be sat two words, just managing to scrape into the top 20, the high

0:45:22 > 0:45:27teens, it is not acceptable.Top 20 is an important cut off. Only the

0:45:27 > 0:45:35top 20 sleds get to go to the last run.

0:45:35 > 0:45:38With -- the Management would need to have a look at how things are

0:45:38 > 0:45:40running in their programme.

0:45:46 > 0:45:50Thank you. Let's get the reaction of Nicola, how can this happen so late

0:45:50 > 0:45:55your runners are deemed illegal and you don't have a spare set to mark

0:45:55 > 0:45:57they would have known they were close.

0:45:57 > 0:46:03It does happen, over the years of use they can wear down but it is not

0:46:03 > 0:46:07something, now they are disqualified, it doesn't work like

0:46:07 > 0:46:12that. I have worked with athletes who have got to that point, you are

0:46:12 > 0:46:17getting down to the last millimetre. To get to the last day of training

0:46:17 > 0:46:22and searching around and ask other crews, can I use your runners, it

0:46:22 > 0:46:30seems crazy, at an Olympic Games.I take the point they are expensive

0:46:30 > 0:46:34but there is the funding for the cycle so you would have thought

0:46:34 > 0:46:38honours might be prioritised. You would think so. Each team

0:46:38 > 0:46:44normally would have at least three sets, competitive sets. I am not

0:46:44 > 0:46:48saying it is easy to get a world-class set but with the

0:46:48 > 0:46:54investment and research and technology and producing their own

0:46:54 > 0:47:02runners, it seems crazy at this point on the last day of training a

0:47:02 > 0:47:07team, Great Britain, would be asking other nations for runners.Lamin

0:47:07 > 0:47:13Deen has that excuse, Brad Hall, as far as we know his runners are fine,

0:47:13 > 0:47:17what you think of the reasons both are so low down the leaderboard when

0:47:17 > 0:47:22we thought they would be easy top ten?

0:47:22 > 0:47:26At this point, there has to be some in-depth questions. I am stumped.

0:47:26 > 0:47:34The starts were good for both teams. They were OK but not great. In past

0:47:34 > 0:47:39years we have had the athletes and starts have been better. The drive

0:47:39 > 0:47:46was OK. When you consider for Brad Hall the two man was preparation and

0:47:46 > 0:47:51everything has been focused on this four-man event. So it seems crazy

0:47:51 > 0:47:57the top half that -- the top half of the corner was scrappy.Have the

0:47:57 > 0:48:03crews been long enough together? There has been swapping. Both have

0:48:03 > 0:48:10raced together. Lamin Deen has got his best result with that team. Brad

0:48:10 > 0:48:16Hall has raised three times with that team. But it was still all

0:48:16 > 0:48:24changing, and quite last-minute they got the final team set.We will

0:48:24 > 0:48:31finish with the women's bob being the highest performing some one

0:48:31 > 0:48:35British bobsleigh decided not to fund, how does that reflect on the

0:48:35 > 0:48:37way the sport is run in this country?

0:48:37 > 0:48:47There has to be investigations. They were told they would not invest in

0:48:47 > 0:48:53women's teams. They kept fighting all the way. Some heads have got to

0:48:53 > 0:48:59roll. There have to be some hard questions and answers about what has

0:48:59 > 0:49:04happened, why are the men finishing 17th and 18th, with one of the best

0:49:04 > 0:49:07funded programmes in the world, phenomenal athletes and equipment,

0:49:07 > 0:49:13it doesn't add up. Thank you for your expertise. We

0:49:13 > 0:49:23will tell you a story now about Ester Ledecka of the Czech Republic.

0:49:23 > 0:49:25Esther Ledecka of the Czech Republic was the surprise winner

0:49:25 > 0:49:27of the super-G last Saturday.

0:49:27 > 0:49:30She was so surprised to post the fastest time that she didn't

0:49:30 > 0:49:36believe the clock at the bottom of the slope.

0:49:36 > 0:49:39At the press conference afterwards, she complained that it was taking up

0:49:39 > 0:49:45time, she should have been spending on snowboard training!

0:49:45 > 0:49:48She is already the first athlete to compete on skis and snowboard.

0:49:48 > 0:49:51And this morning she was trying to do something no woman has ever

0:49:51 > 0:49:53done, win gold medals in two different sports at

0:49:53 > 0:49:54the same Winter Olympics.

0:49:54 > 0:49:57Ledecka is the double world champion at parallel giant slalom,

0:49:57 > 0:50:00so she was much better fancied for this one.

0:50:03 > 0:50:06She walked her way through to the final and it was a head to head for

0:50:06 > 0:50:13the gold medal. COMMENTATOR: This is it, the final

0:50:13 > 0:50:17of the women's parallel giant slalom, the snowboard event, and it

0:50:17 > 0:50:26is a matchup between Selina Joerg and Ester Ledecka. She has already

0:50:26 > 0:50:35made history, the first athlete to compete in both snowboarding and

0:50:35 > 0:50:42alpine skiing at an Olympic Games. She has already won a medal. Will

0:50:42 > 0:50:51she win a gold will she double the gold medal tally?

0:50:51 > 0:50:57They are off and they are underway. Ledecka is on the red course, Joerg

0:50:57 > 0:51:04on the blue, and Snedeker has the early lead.Ledecka is doing it, one

0:51:04 > 0:51:15slip and it will go away. A little bit of a skid.A wobble on the under

0:51:15 > 0:51:21gate. She still has the lead.It is about

0:51:21 > 0:51:31two tenths of a second.Nice and smooth through these last through

0:51:31 > 0:51:37gates. Snedeker will make history. Three gates to do as she has done

0:51:37 > 0:51:41it. Absolutely incredible, gold medal in

0:51:41 > 0:51:46the Alpine skiing super-G, edition and now gold medal in the parallel

0:51:46 > 0:51:53giant slalom snowboard competition. It has never been done before, two

0:51:53 > 0:51:59sports in one Olympic Games. What an athlete.

0:51:59 > 0:52:05Probably the biggest story of these Games.Some pretty good designs on

0:52:05 > 0:52:14the suits.She has two separate coaching teams.

0:52:19 > 0:52:23Coming into this, you were favourite for this condition but we have seen

0:52:23 > 0:52:26from the Alpine side favourite joke of an wing, Mikaela Shiffrin,

0:52:26 > 0:52:38Lindsey Vonn, how did you cope? Exactly. I was watching Shiffrin,

0:52:38 > 0:52:47and many others. So, this is very specific, a very specific race

0:52:47 > 0:52:51because you have just one chance, it is not like the World Cup where you

0:52:51 > 0:52:57have more races and in the end it counts together.

0:52:57 > 0:53:01So, you need some luck. And I believed I had this luck today.

0:53:01 > 0:53:07You go back to the 1928, 1924, with cross-country skiers winning the

0:53:07 > 0:53:11Nordic combined but that is a similar sport. This is something

0:53:11 > 0:53:15completely different. How do you prepare for Alpine skiing and

0:53:15 > 0:53:21snowboarding in the same year? Well, my biggest goal was just to

0:53:21 > 0:53:26get their and race in both sports, my favourite sports. And I have to

0:53:26 > 0:53:32say that I have got such a great team and such support from the

0:53:32 > 0:53:40people around me. They just let me win. You know, I was just standing

0:53:40 > 0:53:46there and all I had to do was write down and it was all their job.

0:53:46 > 0:53:52Pain credit to her team.

0:54:04 > 0:54:07This is an extraordinary achievement. The fact she is the

0:54:07 > 0:54:12first e-mail athlete to do this in the Olympic Games, two completely

0:54:12 > 0:54:15different sports, everyone is looking and thinking the body

0:54:15 > 0:54:21positions are saying, in skis we have four edges, in snowboarding, is

0:54:21 > 0:54:29different. She forgot her make up bag again! It is impressive because

0:54:29 > 0:54:33her coaches have put pressure on her to choose discipline and she stood

0:54:33 > 0:54:36her ground believing she could do it in both and that takes a lot of

0:54:36 > 0:54:41confidence when your whole team is saying, no, you are diminishing your

0:54:41 > 0:54:46chance of a gold in one.She said she can do this. She might spark a

0:54:46 > 0:54:52new philosophy. I was reading an American article saying should we be

0:54:52 > 0:54:56looking at this, are we narrowing people down too soon. In Norway they

0:54:56 > 0:55:02encourage kids to do loads of sports until they are at least 13.We are

0:55:02 > 0:55:07building back into the British system, because these are the skills

0:55:07 > 0:55:12you need to adapt under pressure. She can look at a terrain in a

0:55:12 > 0:55:16different way than someone who has just hit slalom gates all their

0:55:16 > 0:55:28life.She is amazing. The athlete of the Games. Jorien Ter Mors did that

0:55:28 > 0:55:32also, with different kit but the first to win gold in two different

0:55:32 > 0:55:40sports is amazing. Eve Muirhead is multitalented. Her handicap in golf

0:55:40 > 0:55:44is about three but she is concentrating on curling and we will

0:55:44 > 0:56:00see her try to win a sixth medal for Team GB, thanks to Billy.

0:56:02 > 0:56:08COMMENTATOR: We have the final of men's big air. Billy Morgan I think

0:56:08 > 0:56:13we'll go for the frontside chewable cork and if he lands that he is well

0:56:13 > 0:56:21within the medal scores. And he needs to go absolutely

0:56:21 > 0:56:27stratospheric -- frontside triple 14 cork.

0:56:27 > 0:56:34Billy Morgan, yes! With a double grab frontside triple 14, that is

0:56:34 > 0:56:41massive, that is absolutely huge. Oh, my goodness. 85.5, Billy Morgan

0:56:41 > 0:56:48moves into bronze medal position and it is a very nervous wait.The whole

0:56:48 > 0:56:55of the UK need to watch this jump through their fingers.

0:56:55 > 0:57:00He has gone! Billy Morgan has got a bronze medal. Congratulations,

0:57:00 > 0:57:02Billy.

0:57:05 > 0:57:07And that bronze medal from Billy Morgan means that

0:57:07 > 0:57:09Pyeongchang 2018 is the most successful Winter Olympics

0:57:09 > 0:57:14of all time for a British team, thanks to the fearless five.

0:57:14 > 0:57:17Lizzie Yarnold defended her skeleton title in sensational style to become

0:57:17 > 0:57:21Britain's first ever double gold medallist at the Winter Olympics.

0:57:21 > 0:57:25Behind Lizzie in bronze medal position was Olympic

0:57:25 > 0:57:27debutante Laura Dees, meaning that Britain filled

0:57:27 > 0:57:31two spots on the podium for the first time.

0:57:31 > 0:57:35Team GB's first medal of Pyeongchang was won by Dom Parsons,

0:57:35 > 0:57:41the first male skeleton medallist for 70 years.

0:57:41 > 0:57:44The youngest member of the team delivered one of the best results,

0:57:44 > 0:57:51a bronze for Izzy Atkin in ski slopestyle.

0:57:51 > 0:57:54And passing the record British medal mark earlier today,

0:57:54 > 0:58:02Billy Morgan soared into the sky to take bronze in the big air.

0:58:03 > 0:58:08Just a few minutes ago this was the scene at the Medal Plaza,

0:58:08 > 0:58:1428-year-old Billy Morgan, the oldest man in that big air competition, he

0:58:14 > 0:58:19has won a bronze battle in what will be his last Olympic Games, his knee

0:58:19 > 0:58:26has been constructed, he said at the top of that slope for his third run,

0:58:26 > 0:58:30he said, banish the fear, if I land in a heap, it doesn't matter, just

0:58:30 > 0:58:41go for it, and he did. Five medals for the first time in

0:58:41 > 0:58:42the Winter Olympics.

0:58:47 > 0:58:58Now it is over to the curlers to see if we can increase that to six.

0:59:25 > 0:59:31Keep calm and Karl on. On the final weekend four years ago in Sochi,

0:59:31 > 0:59:37Dave Murdoch won the last middle of those Games, when you took silver in

0:59:37 > 0:59:42the curling. How difficult is it for Eve Muirhead and the team to pick

0:59:42 > 0:59:50themselves up? That is the hardest part, you have

0:59:50 > 0:59:53trained for four years, they came for a gold medal, that didn't

0:59:53 > 0:59:58happen. Try to pick yourself up is very difficult. A hard thing to

0:59:58 > 1:00:04discuss within the team as to what you would do in that scenario. I'm

1:00:04 > 1:00:08sure they have had discussions today, they will be ready to go, I

1:00:08 > 1:00:13know they want a medal and want to get something for all that training.

1:00:13 > 1:00:19We need to see them come up with some real fire and intensity and try

1:00:19 > 1:00:21to push everything they can to make this happen.

1:00:26 > 1:00:30Usually it is quite polite at the curling, but not this morning. Lots

1:00:30 > 1:00:35of USA fans, including Evandro Trump, were there to watch the USA,

1:00:35 > 1:00:39who won the gold medal. They play the game in such a different style.

1:00:39 > 1:00:45It feels like it is American football. It has been crazy. No one

1:00:45 > 1:00:49really saw the USA winning this event. It has come as a shock to

1:00:49 > 1:00:54Carlingford John Shuster and the American guys to achieve that. It is

1:00:54 > 1:01:01a fantastic story for him. He has been

1:01:10 > 1:01:12at his fourth Olympics, he had a bronze medal in 2006, and together

1:01:12 > 1:01:15gold-medal against the field that was there, which was very strong, it

1:01:15 > 1:01:17is great stuff.And in beating Sweden, who are powerhouse of

1:01:17 > 1:01:20curling. How many gold medals have the one? The women have won two at

1:01:20 > 1:01:23the last three Games.The men have on four.Yes. That was a big shock

1:01:23 > 1:01:27and it will cause headlines around the USA. A little bit like South

1:01:27 > 1:01:30Korea getting through to the women's final, it is good for the game.Yes,

1:01:30 > 1:01:34that is the market that curling was hoping to hit, to get into the

1:01:34 > 1:01:40States. We are seeing growth out in the east as well, and Korea doing

1:01:40 > 1:01:40well in

1:01:40 > 1:01:45the east as well, and Korea doing well in the women's, it is brilliant

1:01:45 > 1:01:48for curling and C.This was the moment. Sweden sent down the rock

1:01:48 > 1:01:53and give the opportunity for the USA to turn this match around.5-5. It

1:01:53 > 1:01:58is still really tight. There was lots of discussions as to what

1:01:58 > 1:02:06Niklas Edin would play with the stone. There are lots of USA stones

1:02:06 > 1:02:09and play. He was trying to rolling back der Garde. Unfortunately, he

1:02:09 > 1:02:15rolled to the worst spot possible, left it wide open. Under great

1:02:15 > 1:02:20pressure, John Shuster makes a double.Five, count them up. This is

1:02:20 > 1:02:22what I mean about the noise. CHEERING

1:02:22 > 1:02:28. There was lots of USA, USA. I was waiting for someone to say, in the

1:02:28 > 1:02:34hole. Go to the USA, the silver medal to Sweden. You were talking

1:02:34 > 1:02:39about how you want to see Eve come and play against Japan. And it is

1:02:39 > 1:02:43about the Japanese themselves. Here the girls, Lauren Gray, Vicki Adams

1:02:43 > 1:02:48and Anna Sloan, and Eve Muirhead, they are tight-knit group. It is

1:02:48 > 1:02:54good that they know each other so well. Anna and Eve in particular are

1:02:54 > 1:02:59best friends. They can keep each other going.Eve is so strong. These

1:02:59 > 1:03:03girls have been here before in the bronze medal game. They know what it

1:03:03 > 1:03:09is like, they know the pressure of what it means today. They looked

1:03:09 > 1:03:12happy, ready to go. They will have had a great team talk. They will be

1:03:12 > 1:03:18fired up for the game against Japan. Japan seem to have taken to curling

1:03:18 > 1:03:23is a sport. They are really enjoying their experiences.I had the

1:03:23 > 1:03:27pleasure of working with these ladies a few months ago in Canada,

1:03:27 > 1:03:32the Japanese team. They are a fun bunch to work with, they put a lot

1:03:32 > 1:03:36of work in.It is incredible. Inside info, what is their weakness? How

1:03:36 > 1:03:43can we win this?In some ways, they are just such a happy bunch. They do

1:03:43 > 1:03:49not have a weakness mentally. Maybe shotmaking, but if Great Britain can

1:03:49 > 1:03:54put them under pressure, shot after shot, the consistency throughout the

1:03:54 > 1:04:00team, that will be the key to winning today.In our team, the

1:04:00 > 1:04:04disappointment of not going for the gold medal match, who is in the team

1:04:04 > 1:04:11to bring them up? Is it Eve's roll? Will she be the positive influence.

1:04:11 > 1:04:17She is the skipper of the team. She is such a collected person. She

1:04:17 > 1:04:24leads a team extremely well, but the real line for me is Anna Sloan. She

1:04:24 > 1:04:30goes between Eve and the others.It always looks like formation sliding,

1:04:30 > 1:04:34building up to the first stones being delivered in this bronze medal

1:04:34 > 1:04:38match, Great Britain against Japan. Let's join our commentary team, led

1:04:38 > 1:04:44by Steve Cram. Thank you. Jackie Lockhart is with

1:04:44 > 1:04:50me for this bronze medal match. Eve and her team ready to go. They need

1:04:50 > 1:04:55to be at their very best. This Japanese team played superbly well

1:04:55 > 1:05:01against Korea. Before you joined as we were told that 43% of the Korean

1:05:01 > 1:05:07population watched the girls, the garlic girls as they are known, beat

1:05:07 > 1:05:14Japan to get to the gold-medal match. They will meet Sweden in that

1:05:14 > 1:05:21match midnight local time in the UK. The match between Korea in Japan

1:05:21 > 1:05:27went to an extra end. It was a really exciting affair. The place

1:05:27 > 1:05:33was jumping with the excitement. The Korean fans managed to get their

1:05:33 > 1:05:36team into the final. After that cracking gold-medal match, USA

1:05:36 > 1:05:43against Sweden, it was a little quieter bit end -- a little quieter

1:05:43 > 1:05:49in the arena at the moment. Just filling up for this match. Plenty of

1:05:49 > 1:05:53British support for Eve and team. So, so hard for them to pick

1:05:53 > 1:05:55themselves up after the match yesterday. Once they did in

1:05:55 > 1:05:58interviews, they say the right things, then they go away to the

1:05:58 > 1:06:02quiet of the rooms, back to the village and then it sinks in that

1:06:02 > 1:06:06the gold medal is gone.They go back to the village and reflect on what

1:06:06 > 1:06:11could have been, what might have been. For me, I am a little bit

1:06:11 > 1:06:16worried that four years ago in Sochi, when we had to come into this

1:06:16 > 1:06:21position, there is a hunger, no question, but when they lost the

1:06:21 > 1:06:25semifinal game yesterday, it was a double blow to them. It will be hard

1:06:25 > 1:06:30for them to pick themselves up. Their professionalism will show

1:06:30 > 1:06:36through. They have got psychologist, they have got support behind them. I

1:06:36 > 1:06:40really want to see the whole team knitting together. We have just seen

1:06:40 > 1:06:44little snippets of that through the week. If they wanted to happen it

1:06:44 > 1:06:49has to happen in this game today.I agree with you. This is going to be

1:06:49 > 1:06:56a cover bronze medal to win for the very fact that the target year was

1:06:56 > 1:07:02always trying to get into the gold-medal match. This is no

1:07:02 > 1:07:06secondary target, which they have to focus on, because this Japanese team

1:07:06 > 1:07:10would have been delighted to make it. They are the only Japanese

1:07:10 > 1:07:13women's team, or any team from Japan, to make it into the medal

1:07:13 > 1:07:19match. They have finished fifth on two occasions before. They have

1:07:19 > 1:07:22always made it through in the women's side but the men working as

1:07:22 > 1:07:28well. It is the first time they have had two teams, both sides

1:07:28 > 1:07:32represented, since Nagano, when Japan was the host, in 1998. It is

1:07:32 > 1:07:38quiet. There is not so much atmosphere. It does not feel like

1:07:38 > 1:07:41the medal match they would have envisaged if they were going for the

1:07:41 > 1:07:46gold medal. Lots of things, if they are not careful, will add up to

1:07:46 > 1:07:52making this a difficult match. Hopefully, one thing they said to

1:07:52 > 1:07:57us, as they were leaving the mix zone last night, we definitely want

1:07:57 > 1:08:03to go with something. We do not want to go home with nothing. That is

1:08:03 > 1:08:07what befell Canada, the men's side. They got into the bronze medal match

1:08:07 > 1:08:14and did not play as well. Switzerland, to be fair, played very

1:08:14 > 1:08:22well. By Canadian standards, they did not come up to scratch. No

1:08:22 > 1:08:26Canadian women's team are either in the semifinals. For the first time

1:08:26 > 1:08:36ever. We have seen Lauren Gray. The lead. They have traded a couple of

1:08:36 > 1:08:38stones. Vicki Adams.

1:08:43 > 1:08:47Just getting in each other's way, the skipper wanting to sweep that

1:08:47 > 1:08:50one. Fujisawa.

1:09:03 > 1:09:07Listening to David back in the studio, saying how much he has

1:09:07 > 1:09:13enjoyed working with this Japanese team, how much fun they were, the

1:09:13 > 1:09:17skip, Fujisawa, has been getting praise in the Korean press. That is

1:09:17 > 1:09:22quite a rivalry in sport between Japan and Korea. It is often taken

1:09:22 > 1:09:25quite seriously and she has been getting lots of praise for the way

1:09:25 > 1:09:30she has been smiling lots, really enjoying it, even in that tense

1:09:30 > 1:09:34match against Korea, there were lots of smiles. She has become pretty

1:09:34 > 1:09:39popular overnight.Yes, they do not really show a lot of frustration out

1:09:39 > 1:09:45there. They take very good shots exactly the same as the bad ones.

1:09:50 > 1:09:58She has not always skip to this team, Fujisawa.

1:09:58 > 1:10:01team, Fujisawa. The alternate use to skip this group, then she became

1:10:01 > 1:10:09pregnant. She went to AlterNet. In the meantime, Fujisawa has stepped

1:10:09 > 1:10:14up to be the skip, and she is kept that position ever since. The two

1:10:14 > 1:10:23Yoshida sisters. The younger one plays the lead.

1:10:34 > 1:10:38If you remember how the teams qualified for the Olympic Games,

1:10:38 > 1:10:45they had to pick up qualification points in the World Championships in

1:10:45 > 1:10:492016-2017. Japan won the silver medal in 2016. That was an offer

1:10:49 > 1:10:54them to secure their Olympic qualification, pretty much. Chinami

1:10:54 > 1:11:03Yoshida. Followed by Anna Sloan. I do not think Anna has had her best

1:11:03 > 1:11:08tournament. She did play well in the second half of the match against

1:11:08 > 1:11:13Canada. When Anna is on fire, her demeanour is such that you know

1:11:13 > 1:11:21about it as well.Yes, and the third player, it is a key position. You

1:11:21 > 1:11:25heard David in the commentary, just saying that they are the linchpin,

1:11:25 > 1:11:29the pain between the front end and the back-end, and the communication.

1:11:29 > 1:11:33There is lots to take in. You have got to be playing well,

1:11:33 > 1:11:40communicating well, sharing the rink well with the rest of the players.

1:11:40 > 1:11:46She has had a couple of games where she has not been at full capacity.

1:11:46 > 1:11:51She knew that more than anybody. She has said it in a couple of injuries.

1:11:51 > 1:11:57I just need to step it up.So, we were just watching this first end.

1:11:57 > 1:12:02Gently breaking UN to this bronze medal match. Great Britain have the

1:12:02 > 1:12:12hammer. They finished higher in the table but they both lost semifinals.

1:12:12 > 1:12:16There was no last stone droid to determine who had the hammer in the

1:12:16 > 1:12:21semifinals and the medal matches. That is determined by who finished

1:12:21 > 1:12:30tied in the round-robin. That was Britain's we have the hammer.

1:12:31 > 1:12:37More often than not, in these tense medal matches, the semifinal

1:12:37 > 1:12:40matches, we have seen the first end blanked.

1:13:03 > 1:13:07On red guard out there.

1:13:15 > 1:13:19If you listen, one thing we have found in dealing from the Japanese

1:13:19 > 1:13:27team, when they play a good shot, now use goes around.

1:13:27 > 1:13:29now use goes around. Satsuki -- Fujisawa played a great couple of

1:13:29 > 1:13:35shots at the end of that match. It looked all over. They were 7-4 down,

1:13:35 > 1:13:42they picked up two, one, a steal. They took it to the extra end. They

1:13:42 > 1:13:52just run that one out. Eve might fancy asking a little question if

1:13:52 > 1:13:57she can get this jammed on the yellow, and sit just counting. That

1:13:57 > 1:14:10might not be a bad position to be in. They might even get the two.

1:14:11 > 1:14:15Yoshida finished that match so well. The Korean skip had a shot at the

1:14:15 > 1:14:18end of the tense. It looked like it might have been another and it

1:14:18 > 1:14:24rolled off the bottom. They got the steel. It was still closed in the

1:14:24 > 1:14:29extra end.Extremely close. Fujisawa, even under the most

1:14:29 > 1:14:34extreme pressure and an audience full of Koreans, she played a really

1:14:34 > 1:14:42good draw to the button to make it very difficult for Korea to win. But

1:14:42 > 1:14:45the Korean skip countered that with an even better shot to get

1:14:45 > 1:14:51themselves into the final.Eve Muirhead trying to come around the

1:14:51 > 1:14:59guide, getting to the edge of the house, taking it behind the guard.

1:15:00 > 1:15:04That is not getting round as much as she would like. That can be seen

1:15:04 > 1:15:10fairly easily, I think. Eve Muirhead not quite able to manufacture an

1:15:10 > 1:15:17opportunity. She will still have the chance to blank the end if she wants

1:15:17 > 1:15:22after this stone from Japan.

1:15:22 > 1:15:27She has left it high enough should Japan overthrow this and catch the

1:15:27 > 1:15:33left-hand side, she may well jam. She will be very unfortunate. She

1:15:33 > 1:15:42can see all of the stone. But it is early days.

1:15:42 > 1:15:49She might want to make it difficult for Eve Muirhead to shift this out.

1:15:49 > 1:15:54Wouldn't mind if Britain accidentally picks up one, as it

1:15:54 > 1:16:01were. Nice and straightforward for her.

1:16:01 > 1:16:08Eve has to be careful here. Eve want to blank this end, she

1:16:08 > 1:16:14doesn't want to jam it herself.She can see plenty of that stone, we're

1:16:14 > 1:16:21not directly behind them, we are sitting behind a sheet seed which is

1:16:21 > 1:16:28the best view for us.

1:16:28 > 1:16:35the best view for us. -- sheet C. Eve Muirhead doesn't want to leave a

1:16:35 > 1:16:41shooter in get rid of the and current red.

1:16:41 > 1:16:51current red. -- the yellow and her own red macro.

1:16:56 > 1:17:01Well, that is one for Great Britain but not quite the start Eve Muirhead

1:17:01 > 1:17:09wanted. So, actually, Fujisawa with that

1:17:09 > 1:17:16shot, it had started with Eve's first in which didn't go where she

1:17:16 > 1:17:20wanted, Fujisawa took hers in a little bit more, made it more

1:17:20 > 1:17:29difficult for Eve Muirhead. She still should have made it. If Yves

1:17:29 > 1:17:35-- if Eve had been playing well, she would have. Great Britain held to

1:17:35 > 1:17:44one.

1:17:51 > 1:17:57If you don't get the start you want, you just haven't got to start

1:17:57 > 1:18:03saying, here we go again. Her normal game, she is quite an

1:18:03 > 1:18:07offensive player, there was a high red guard, she took her opportunity.

1:18:07 > 1:18:20The game we saw this morning with the men, Nicholas never took the

1:18:20 > 1:18:26game on. It was as if he played the game not to lose it. We saw Eve

1:18:26 > 1:18:33trying to get into that corner which is what I like to see, positivity.

1:18:33 > 1:18:37We have said it before, this team definitely get stronger as the enzo

1:18:37 > 1:18:48go on. -- ends. They had their press conference and

1:18:48 > 1:18:53I was hearing the American journalists chatting, saying, I

1:18:53 > 1:19:02can't believe Edin let the USA play that messy game, they called it.

1:19:02 > 1:19:17Lots of things going on, stones in play, doubles, and that suited John

1:19:17 > 1:19:21Schuster, not getting into his own rhythm.

1:19:21 > 1:19:26The one thing you have to do is give your opposition due respect and

1:19:26 > 1:19:31although Nicklas Edin did that I'm thinking he was thinking the USA

1:19:31 > 1:19:35might make more mistakes but they didn't, they make very few.

1:19:35 > 1:19:41A good point, it was as if Edin was saying, I am Mr consistent, I will

1:19:41 > 1:19:48play a steady game and you will give me this gold medal.

1:19:49 > 1:19:52me this gold medal. He never went in there to show them how good he was

1:19:52 > 1:19:56and he allowed John Schuster and his team to make the good shots and

1:19:56 > 1:20:01every shot they made, they grew in confidence, were prepared to take on

1:20:01 > 1:20:05even more, some really difficult shots as well.

1:20:05 > 1:20:13Anyway, let us hope that is the case for Eve Muirhead here.

1:20:13 > 1:20:19Kelly Schafer and Glenn Howard.

1:20:24 > 1:20:29So many people have been enjoying the curling coverage, thanked you

1:20:29 > 1:20:33for watching it all, and all of your comments, let us hope we can finish

1:20:33 > 1:20:38off with a medal here. It has been a long journey to get to this point.

1:20:38 > 1:20:44If you think about the players, there are some medals here one in

1:20:44 > 1:20:50second spot in the curling, 11 matches, 33 hours of play before you

1:20:50 > 1:20:57have the chance to say you are a medallist at the Olympic Games. I'm

1:20:57 > 1:21:03not sure how many more hours we have been commentating, it has been an

1:21:03 > 1:21:06awful lot but an enjoyable experience here. For some people it

1:21:06 > 1:21:11is only every four years. But it seems to grab people in the wake

1:21:11 > 1:21:16that maybe

1:21:18 > 1:21:23that maybe most people are surprised why. I think it is the

1:21:23 > 1:21:28straightforward nature of it, versus the intricacies of shot making an

1:21:28 > 1:21:35strategy and chat, the dynamics between the teams. In essence, is

1:21:35 > 1:21:43simple sport to understand. The dynamics come in about how you

1:21:43 > 1:21:48played to get that score, that is what makes it intriguing. It is not

1:21:48 > 1:21:54always a race to the centre, there is a lot of strategy, building up an

1:21:54 > 1:22:05end, waiting to be able to play that final shot to create two or more.

1:22:05 > 1:22:14Fujisawa with those fluorescent, shocking pink gloves.

1:22:14 > 1:22:23She waves that right hand in the air, always waving. She has lots of

1:22:23 > 1:22:25idiosyncrasies.

1:22:35 > 1:22:47Vicki Adams. Playing second.

1:22:50 > 1:22:58Anna Sloan tried to catch as much as she can so she doesn't roll out.

1:22:58 > 1:23:04They have the yellow out, the primary target. Didn't manage to...

1:23:04 > 1:23:11There wasn't too much of that stone showing.

1:23:13 > 1:23:20We just need the girls to settle down. You can feel that tension in

1:23:20 > 1:23:27the air, it is one of these games, one of the hardest to play. Off the

1:23:27 > 1:23:30back of a defeat and you have to get yourself picked up to play this

1:23:30 > 1:23:37bronze medal match. Japan will try and replace that

1:23:37 > 1:23:45stone pretty much although this will come up against the guard.

1:23:45 > 1:23:50come up against the guard. It just gets in. But not the shot they

1:23:50 > 1:24:01wanted. Yumi Suzuki who placed second, in between the two sisters,

1:24:01 > 1:24:06Yurika Yoshida plays first.

1:24:15 > 1:24:23When Anna is on her game, this team really sings. Let us hope that is

1:24:23 > 1:24:25what happens today.

1:24:37 > 1:24:40Japan trying to decide whether she still wants to use her corner but

1:24:40 > 1:24:45she doesn't have an awful lot of room to come through. Or whether she

1:24:45 > 1:24:49wants to hit the red and get a role the cross.

1:24:49 > 1:25:02Electing the latter. Or is she?

1:25:03 > 1:25:12Just looking to catch this right. Not a particularly easy shot but a

1:25:12 > 1:25:18good effort at it. They may have been trying to get the other red as

1:25:18 > 1:25:22well. I think she was trying to get less

1:25:22 > 1:25:25of the top red so she could have come underneath her own yellow on

1:25:25 > 1:25:29the left side. Not an easy shot.

1:25:33 > 1:25:39You can't get them both and I am a bit wary of that. Do you like that?

1:25:39 > 1:25:45Michael Wolff that all draw to the edge.

1:25:49 > 1:25:54edge. -- either that or draw to the edge.

1:25:54 > 1:25:57Wanting to block the opportunity for Japan to come in, that would be

1:25:57 > 1:26:03good. Keeping it I would also be very good, at the top of the house.

1:26:05 > 1:26:16From the other side of the pack, left-handed Anna Sloan. Giving

1:26:16 > 1:26:21herself room to come around these two, she wants to try to tuck in.

1:26:21 > 1:26:35Pulling already hard. Trying to work it past. By half an inch! Well, that

1:26:35 > 1:26:40is not a bad effort from Anna Sloan, it was very close. Those were the

1:26:40 > 1:26:51shots the other day that weren't quite going for us.It was really

1:26:51 > 1:26:59well swept by the girls. Did it catch it slightly? A feather.

1:26:59 > 1:27:02Anyway, they have done well, it is tucked in there.

1:27:16 > 1:27:21I just wonder whether we are seeing more turned on the ice down the

1:27:21 > 1:27:30middle. They didn't seem to be much in the men's match.

1:27:30 > 1:27:36I think this will move now.

1:27:39 > 1:27:44So, Japan, you can see by that yellow arrow by their name on the

1:27:44 > 1:27:52top left, have the hammer. Great Britain only taking one, forcing the

1:27:52 > 1:27:57one, a little mistake from Eve Muirhead. She wants two good stones

1:27:57 > 1:28:06this time, to try to do the same if not steal.

1:28:06 > 1:28:16The very least is to not give Japan two if possible.

1:28:22 > 1:28:24That is just biting.

1:28:28 > 1:28:34Looking at the double here. But would like to get rid of both of

1:28:34 > 1:28:44these, a fair bit of distance between them.

1:28:44 > 1:28:49If she can catch that read and roll across to the left just to be high

1:28:49 > 1:28:54of the back red, that is a really good shot for Japan.Let us see if

1:28:54 > 1:28:59she gets this right. They need a bit more weight than the previous couple

1:28:59 > 1:29:10of stones. We have seen them turn a little. Fujisawa, the Japanese skip.

1:29:10 > 1:29:19Trying to take both British stones.

1:29:19 > 1:29:29It is very straight. That ended up almost flush in the face there. So,

1:29:29 > 1:29:35Eve can either flop in behind that yellow, get rid of that one. And

1:29:35 > 1:29:45given we have three counting there, force the one.

1:29:45 > 1:29:54She is saying, a wee half roll. That is not a lunch!

1:29:54 > 1:30:01I could be doing with some lunch! Have you not had any noodles? I took

1:30:01 > 1:30:06so many noodles I am sick of the site of doodles!Eve Muirhead.

1:30:13 > 1:30:17She would like to hit this and Rolan behind the yellow at the front of

1:30:17 > 1:30:25the house. She has got two in there. It does not affect things much, it

1:30:25 > 1:30:32is just confidence.Yes, you're right. If she had stayed in the

1:30:32 > 1:30:38house, Japan are facing three, and she could have easily gone to the

1:30:38 > 1:30:41forfeit against the three are two, but it is your confidence and you

1:30:41 > 1:30:46have got to play the shot and executed well.Yes, when you draw

1:30:46 > 1:30:50into the forfeit and you're facing three, she would have been on the

1:30:50 > 1:30:54edge of the eight foot. You're asking her to make a half decent

1:30:54 > 1:30:58shot. It has just become easier. It is a straightforward draw either

1:30:58 > 1:31:00way.

1:31:08 > 1:31:15Satsuki Fujisawa, the 26-year-old skip for Japan. She's trying to even

1:31:15 > 1:31:20things up after two ends.

1:31:21 > 1:31:24things up after two ends. She has not given this too much. They can

1:31:24 > 1:31:28sweep if they need to. They are happy with this, letting it go. It

1:31:28 > 1:31:35will come in for the one. Bergrem is looking interested. Very interested.

1:31:35 > 1:31:38Is it going to sit? It is funny because they were sweeping that

1:31:38 > 1:31:44early and stopped, realising it certainly had plenty. It builds up

1:31:44 > 1:31:51just in time. Again, Eve managed to get the hit in role, if she had, it

1:31:51 > 1:31:58could've been a steel. Ifs and buts do not matter. It is tied after two.

1:31:58 > 1:32:05Honours even.

1:32:08 > 1:32:20Have you noticed any celebrities? I have not. I am looking today. No.

1:32:20 > 1:32:30You missed my joke. I am not bringing you any more.

1:33:10 > 1:33:20Here we go. End three. Great Britain with the hammer. Reset after two

1:33:20 > 1:33:27ends when they both were forced to take on. -- one.

1:33:37 > 1:33:44Remember that match we were watching, the gold medal match. It

1:33:44 > 1:33:47started at such a high level of proficiency in terms of the shots

1:33:47 > 1:33:52that were being made. It dropped off a little bit, but the excitement was

1:33:52 > 1:33:57always there. The shots that were not made were just little mistakes.

1:33:57 > 1:34:01People were trying very difficult shots, and it was a high-quality

1:34:01 > 1:34:06match, which was good for a gold medal match. They start is a little

1:34:06 > 1:34:11quieter.

1:34:11 > 1:34:15quieter.I was surprised that Muirhead did not put a corner run.

1:34:15 > 1:34:20They look like they are going to run this end. She has put on in the

1:34:20 > 1:34:27house and Japan is following by heating it out.

1:34:31 > 1:34:33heating it out. -- hitting it out.

1:35:01 > 1:35:05She is just taking it away from the centre line and trying to get it

1:35:05 > 1:35:09across the house a little because we have got the hammer in the third

1:35:09 > 1:35:18end.Fujisawa, you saw what she was asking from Suzuki.

1:35:26 > 1:35:34Just hit this one nicely and roll back towards the centre line. Nice.

1:35:34 > 1:35:45You heard it. It was indeed.So easy.

1:35:47 > 1:36:01easy. -- throw easy.They might traded a few of these.

1:36:01 > 1:36:04traded a few of these. Eve Muirhead and Cal Smith will not get much rest

1:36:04 > 1:36:13after these Olympic Games. Whatever the result. That was a good shot

1:36:13 > 1:36:19from Vicki. Yes, the Scottish world championship play-offs will take

1:36:19 > 1:36:27place, is it next week? Early March? At the ice rink in Paris, yes,

1:36:27 > 1:36:31play-offs on the third and 4th of March.They take on the teams who

1:36:31 > 1:36:37won the Scottish Championships. Hannah Fleming is the skip that Eve

1:36:37 > 1:36:41Muirhead will face, and the winners of that will head off to the World

1:36:41 > 1:36:54Championships in Canada. For the women. Las Vegas for the men.

1:37:18 > 1:37:23It could well be heading towards a blanked end at this rate.

1:37:28 > 1:37:32Eve will not minded it delivers a quiet start to this bronze medal

1:37:32 > 1:37:39match, to get the nerves out of the way, is there are any. It is almost

1:37:39 > 1:37:43the opposite. They need to get things fired up, a couple of good

1:37:43 > 1:37:48shots, it is like making a good tackle, you might not have scored a

1:37:48 > 1:37:52goal, but it gets the crowd going. A couple of good shots. They might not

1:37:52 > 1:37:56get the chance in this end, but let's hope that happens.

1:38:10 > 1:38:14We would like to hit this one and roll across to the wing. We do not

1:38:14 > 1:38:22want to stay on the nose.

1:38:32 > 1:38:36Some decent support for the British women. I can see the guys rate at

1:38:36 > 1:38:42the very back at the fireside. Heading down to the far end, some

1:38:42 > 1:38:53other team members from some of the other events you as well.

1:38:57 > 1:39:01We have got the men's final that happened earlier today. The women's

1:39:01 > 1:39:10finals tomorrow. The medals will be presented after that. Whoever wins

1:39:10 > 1:39:18the bronze medal today has to wait till tomorrow for the ceremony.

1:39:19 > 1:39:23Maybe they are not saying nice, maybe it is something else. Maybe

1:39:23 > 1:39:27someone can help me out. I do not understand Japanese. Maybe it is

1:39:27 > 1:39:34something else.I like nice. We are just looking to hit this and clear

1:39:34 > 1:39:44the house. They are not bothering to stay here at all.

1:39:45 > 1:39:53A big GB contingent end. All watching.

1:39:54 > 1:39:58Both teams are being a little bit cagey at the moment. They have been

1:39:58 > 1:40:04trying to set up the end, but it just takes one small mistake Andy

1:40:04 > 1:40:11Hall end changes. This is going to be run through.

1:40:11 > 1:40:14be run through. Japan will put a stone in and Great Britain will hit

1:40:14 > 1:40:17it straight back out.

1:40:27 > 1:40:30It is funny, when you're watching these blanked end is, you just want

1:40:30 > 1:40:35everyone to go, let's get on with the next one, but occasionally, you

1:40:35 > 1:40:47get a silly mistake, somebody not concentrating.

1:40:49 > 1:40:57Conducting the orchestra, in behind.

1:41:10 > 1:41:13The ideas you leave that one there. That horrendous mistake I was

1:41:13 > 1:41:21talking about, you think, what if she misses? Then there would be a

1:41:21 > 1:41:28chance of two. I do not think that is likely, but you never know.It is

1:41:28 > 1:41:34also good, we have got the hammer. We won something on the wings just

1:41:34 > 1:41:40in case there is a mistake. That was a good stone by Eve. She played a

1:41:40 > 1:41:44nice stone and it rolled across the house, which is what she asked for,

1:41:44 > 1:41:46which is always good for confidence as well.

1:41:52 > 1:41:54Lots of work.

1:42:01 > 1:42:06Eve does not want to make the same mistake that she made, it was a much

1:42:06 > 1:42:10more difficult shots in the first end, but this time very easy to get

1:42:10 > 1:42:15rid of this stone and make sure she does not sit in the house herself,

1:42:15 > 1:42:19so she can blanked the end and carry the hammer to the next one.

1:42:23 > 1:42:25Exactly. They have worked it out.

1:42:45 > 1:42:52That was just what we did not want. We wanted to blank the ends a week

1:42:52 > 1:42:57ago Fourie two. It is early, but all of these little things well adult

1:42:57 > 1:43:02for Eve Muirhead. She has got to get these shots out of her head. She has

1:43:02 > 1:43:08had two ends were she has picked up on Richey did not want to. She is

1:43:08 > 1:43:11leading 2-1 but it is the manner in which that has happened is

1:43:11 > 1:43:18disappointing.The curling is continuing on BBC One. It is

1:43:18 > 1:43:23Saturday, Football Focus on BBC Two. Interviews with most Saller of

1:43:23 > 1:43:26Liverpool and Wayne Rooney from Everton. A big day in the north-east

1:43:26 > 1:43:31as well, Sunderland playing Middlesbrough. This curling bronze

1:43:31 > 1:43:37medal match, we are sticking with it, obviously. They normally last

1:43:37 > 1:43:40about three hours, these matches. If you're heading off to the football

1:43:40 > 1:43:44this afternoon you have plenty of time to stay with us before you go,

1:43:44 > 1:43:46hopefully.

1:43:55 > 1:43:59Those were two, I hesitate to call them mistakes. You're scoring. Both

1:43:59 > 1:44:04of those shots, that one was even easier than the first one. They

1:44:04 > 1:44:06discussed what happened the first time and still did not make the

1:44:06 > 1:44:12correction.The first time she played it in turning, and the second

1:44:12 > 1:44:16time they tried the out time -- the outturn because the first one had

1:44:16 > 1:44:24pulled a lot. It did not hit and run out as she wanted it. But as long as

1:44:24 > 1:44:27they are reading the mistakes they have made on the ice and they make

1:44:27 > 1:44:30the correction is the next time they have the opportunity, that is

1:44:30 > 1:44:37progression.

1:44:44 > 1:44:51The fourth end, Lauren Gray, leading out. We have now got Japan with the

1:44:51 > 1:44:58hammer. Yurika Yoshida, the younger of the two sisters, you can see just

1:44:58 > 1:45:05there, 67%. She caught a guard in the previous end, or one before, was

1:45:05 > 1:45:15it? Someone is banging. The Canadians are having a party

1:45:15 > 1:45:21alongside us. Something has tickled them. Everyone keeps saying that

1:45:21 > 1:45:26Canada have not won a medal at the curling. They did, the gold medal at

1:45:26 > 1:45:33the mixed doubles, the new event. We should not forget that. Switzerland

1:45:33 > 1:45:37the silver medal, and the Norwegian pair, who were originally forth, and

1:45:37 > 1:45:44with the disqualification of OAR, because of the failed drugs test,

1:45:44 > 1:45:49the Norwegian team are coming out. They will be here in time to get

1:45:49 > 1:45:56their medal in a special ceremony tomorrow.

1:46:10 > 1:46:16It was nice they got down back to get their medal. Both the Norwegian

1:46:16 > 1:46:20pair thought it was more fitting to collect it at the actual Games and

1:46:20 > 1:46:25at home.

1:46:36 > 1:46:45That bronze medal and early wedding present to one of the Norwegians.

1:46:45 > 1:46:51I think I am right in saying I read somewhere Norway have had it may

1:46:51 > 1:46:52well be their best ever Winter Olympics.

1:46:52 > 1:46:58Yes.

1:46:58 > 1:47:08Yes. They hit their target and more. As a country they were delighted.

1:47:08 > 1:47:15Vicki Adams being asked to play an upturned tap here. Being an

1:47:15 > 1:47:19anticlockwise rotation of the stone, if she can catch this and roll it

1:47:19 > 1:47:24into the centre.

1:47:25 > 1:47:31into the centre. It almost goes behind the yellow.

1:47:31 > 1:47:35behind the yellow. It can be seen between the gap. That is what

1:47:35 > 1:47:42Fujisawa wants. It would have been nice if it had sat on the centre

1:47:42 > 1:47:48line.

1:47:49 > 1:47:54Suzuki.

1:47:58 > 1:48:05It rolled enough so Japan couldn't see the inside edge so they had to

1:48:05 > 1:48:11go for the other side. She has rolled over a little further

1:48:11 > 1:48:17than she wanted. So, another opportunity here. To try to hit this

1:48:17 > 1:48:23and tuck in. And on to the centre if possible.

1:48:39 > 1:48:50Vicki Adams watching the line. That is not turning enough. A little bit.

1:48:50 > 1:48:53Again, just not quite the shots being played, to be fair, neither

1:48:53 > 1:49:02team are performing with a high level of accuracy. Decent shots but

1:49:02 > 1:49:06not quite going exactly or finishing where they want them to.

1:49:15 > 1:49:28Three or four attempts here. Suzuki here again. It looks a little wide.

1:49:28 > 1:49:33They are all getting the wrong side of these stones. They may well be

1:49:33 > 1:49:39scared to drop their wait a little because if you do too much, you

1:49:39 > 1:49:46could miss it. They are airing on the side of caution at the moment.

1:49:46 > 1:49:52This is the fifth attempt from both teams.

1:49:52 > 1:49:59teams. Both trying to tuck one in behind that guard that is out there.

1:49:59 > 1:50:03A better chance with this one. That is better.

1:50:03 > 1:50:11A nice shot.Anna Sloan getting it right. Flags waving in the

1:50:11 > 1:50:19background. Family members all huddled together up there almost in

1:50:19 > 1:50:24the darkness.

1:50:38 > 1:50:45Japan, I am sure, try the run back here.She might end up with that

1:50:45 > 1:50:51yellow pretty much where the red is upfront. She wants to catch it

1:50:51 > 1:50:55almost on the nose, she misses it but does take the back bed. That

1:50:55 > 1:51:01goes. The front one is still there. She has taken it from the centreline

1:51:01 > 1:51:09so she has left a shot visible.

1:51:09 > 1:51:11so she has left a shot visible. They will just replace the high guard

1:51:11 > 1:51:17again down the centreline. If you do get this right in the

1:51:17 > 1:51:24middle with those two yellow stone is fairly high, it makes drawing in

1:51:24 > 1:51:31a lot easier.

1:51:41 > 1:51:48A good first shot from Anna Sloan -- from Anna Sloan.

1:51:52 > 1:51:56Just trying to get the sweeping right, it has a good chance of

1:51:56 > 1:52:00getting it right where she wants it. It just needs that to come across

1:52:00 > 1:52:08onto the centreline, a little bit more. That is a good shot. A little

1:52:08 > 1:52:14close. It will make it easier to remove them. Just keeps asking the

1:52:14 > 1:52:26question, though, Yoshida, the chance to get both here. It is

1:52:26 > 1:52:33staying out on that side and coming in a little now. Just hung on to it.

1:52:33 > 1:52:38I thought it was maybe going to stay on that right-hand side and catch it

1:52:38 > 1:52:50a little thin. Eve can still come in here.

1:52:50 > 1:52:55That was the danger for Anna Sloan, she played a good god but it was

1:52:55 > 1:53:03much closer to her red stone. -- she played a good stones.

1:53:14 > 1:53:18Only the second draw Eve has had to make.

1:53:31 > 1:53:36Where is the wait? The line is good.This is sitting

1:53:36 > 1:53:43high at the moment.Eve is saying it needs to call.We know when the

1:53:43 > 1:53:51weight comes off it does finish.

1:53:51 > 1:53:56weight comes off it does finish. -- needs to curl.They would have liked

1:53:56 > 1:54:01it to be a little higher in the house.

1:54:12 > 1:54:18Japan will be able to sing or than half of that from the other end. --

1:54:18 > 1:54:24Japan will be able to see more than half. She will be checking with a

1:54:24 > 1:54:28rugger players how much they can see from the back.If she can see more

1:54:28 > 1:54:34than half, she wants to try to get behind those two yellow stone is

1:54:34 > 1:54:41bothered them leave their own sitting very visible -- she was to

1:54:41 > 1:54:55try to get behind those two yellows. She may well be able to try a role

1:54:55 > 1:55:00in. Or playing a stronger weight and rolling to the right-hand side as we

1:55:00 > 1:55:05see it.

1:55:07 > 1:55:11see it.Fujisawa.All she can just sit on the top of it.

1:55:11 > 1:55:19She has a couple of options.You get down the other end and it can look

1:55:19 > 1:55:24different. She would love to be able to see at least half of that. Now

1:55:24 > 1:55:30she's changing her mind. She had decided she will draw on top

1:55:30 > 1:55:32of it.

1:55:53 > 1:55:57She has got that lovely smile when things are going well or if it is

1:55:57 > 1:56:02going tough.

1:56:02 > 1:56:08going tough. Fujisawa trying to draw in to this red that Eve Muirhead

1:56:08 > 1:56:16sent down. You can see how much it is turning already but it won't be

1:56:16 > 1:56:30far away. Not far away at all, it is a lovely shot. A difficult situation

1:56:30 > 1:56:35for Eve. She could try and come down exactly the same, sit on top of that

1:56:35 > 1:56:42yellow and that will draw in again. Eve, if she were able to play that

1:56:42 > 1:56:57shot and lie shot. Or is she going to sit on top of it.

1:56:57 > 1:57:01to sit on top of it.She will make it much harder for Japan to get the

1:57:01 > 1:57:06two. But she has to be careful, she doesn't want to bounce off it, that

1:57:06 > 1:57:15is the shore.Anna Sloan suggesting she try not come in and touch it.

1:57:15 > 1:57:18But why not bump it? Because you are pulling everything to the bank and

1:57:18 > 1:57:24may give Japan a better opportunity of hitting your red out --

1:57:24 > 1:57:34everything to the back.I think Eve Muirhead quite like this one.

1:57:34 > 1:57:37Muirhead quite like this one. -- quite likes this one. How is the

1:57:37 > 1:57:39line? They are watching.

1:57:45 > 1:57:53That has over Paul's. It will give Japan the opportunity. She had to

1:57:53 > 1:57:59play a really good shot.Giving up one, that is fine. She is asking

1:57:59 > 1:58:08Fujisawa to play a very good shot to play all the way in.

1:58:08 > 1:58:10It just turned at the end.

1:58:14 > 1:58:20Japan with a chance of two, it is very tight. Anything touching the

1:58:20 > 1:58:24button, she will have two. She doesn't want to come into this heavy

1:58:24 > 1:58:34and Tapp yellow. Qatar -- and tap her own yellow.

1:58:40 > 1:58:44They are sweeping this early.

1:58:52 > 1:58:57Has it got enough weight to take it into the house?It is not on the

1:58:57 > 1:59:02right nine either.

1:59:03 > 1:59:10right nine either. -- line. Four very close together but the result

1:59:10 > 1:59:14is one for Japan. All that is happening is neither team really

1:59:14 > 1:59:20getting hold of an end, not able to dominate. A couple of mistakes on

1:59:20 > 1:59:30both sides. We are trading ones. The good news from that perspective is

1:59:30 > 1:59:36it is tied 2-2. Now, Great Britain will have the hammer as we go into

1:59:36 > 1:59:42the fifth.

1:59:45 > 1:59:51This curling match is continuing on BBC One. If you did not catch my

1:59:51 > 2:00:00message earlier, football focus is on BBC Two now. And you can see an

2:00:00 > 2:00:06interview with Mo Salah and one with Wayne Rooney. We have got the reds

2:00:06 > 2:00:14and calling it the silver of Japan out there? Not favouring one team or

2:00:14 > 2:00:19the other, but in terms of colours, we think we have played better in

2:00:19 > 2:00:23red.We like red. We feel comfortable with the girls playing

2:00:23 > 2:00:32in red.It is that superstitious thing! Here we go, the fifth end.

2:00:32 > 2:00:37Let's get a two here and get a little bit of a gap. It will be a

2:00:37 > 2:00:43good way to go into the halfway point. Just need something, a little

2:00:43 > 2:00:49bit of a Spartan, a couple of big shots, get the crowd going. More for

2:00:49 > 2:00:53their confidence than anything else but I think Eve will be pleased with

2:00:53 > 2:01:01the way she forced the one in that end and Anna paid a couple of nice

2:01:01 > 2:01:07shots.You are right. Both teams are playing well, but just looking for

2:01:07 > 2:01:14one of them to lift it to the next level. Give themselves, as well as

2:01:14 > 2:01:19everybody else a little opportunity to be excited about what is in front

2:01:19 > 2:01:29of them here.A bronze medal is at stake. It would be the sixth medal

2:01:29 > 2:01:35of a winter Olympic Games and we have never managed that. Quite a lot

2:01:35 > 2:01:42of the British team, certain members have come in to watch this. Not too

2:01:42 > 2:01:49much more action left at these games. Actually got some snow today,

2:01:49 > 2:01:56I cannot call it snowed.It was a little flurry.Down the coast here.

2:01:56 > 2:02:06I think almost every day we have had bright sunshine. That was a nice

2:02:06 > 2:02:14draw. Let's see if Lauren

2:02:14 > 2:02:17draw. Let's see if Lauren can hit and roll across that red here.

2:02:24 > 2:02:31Lauren has the best stats. 94% so far in this match. The University of

2:02:31 > 2:02:38Glasgow graduate. Her brother Logan has been commentating with us. Up in

2:02:38 > 2:02:48the stands watching. She has passed to the guard.

2:02:50 > 2:02:54to the guard.That is a really nice shot. Lauren has been a strong,

2:02:54 > 2:03:03strong team member this week. She was of course the fifth player in

2:03:03 > 2:03:08Sochi, when Team GB won the bronze medal.When I interviewed the team

2:03:08 > 2:03:13after their defeat to Sweden in the semifinal yesterday I said to

2:03:13 > 2:03:17Lauren, you do not know how this feels. I did not mean she had not

2:03:17 > 2:03:24been there, but she had not been on the ice in Sochi. She would have

2:03:24 > 2:03:30felt it in Sochi, but not in the same way I am sure in that match

2:03:30 > 2:03:38against Sweden.That was a little bit fortunate. She has rolled it

2:03:38 > 2:03:49behind the centre guard.That worked out really well. Remember when we

2:03:49 > 2:03:53said about the Hamilton shot and I said if they win the gold medal, and

2:03:53 > 2:03:58they did, I said they will be play the whole match in front of family

2:03:58 > 2:04:04and be saying, you did not mean to do that? No, they will be saying, of

2:04:04 > 2:04:12course I did.The cheeky shot that caught a high guard. And it rolls

2:04:12 > 2:04:22down and eventually helped them secure some of the shots.

2:04:34 > 2:04:40PLAYER: The only other thing you can do is a similar shot to Lauren.Even

2:04:40 > 2:04:48if we do this.OK.

2:04:49 > 2:04:51if we do this.OK.What Eve is doing, she wants to hit the second

2:04:51 > 2:05:00yellow stone. She is saying if it is tight and we end up coming onto that

2:05:00 > 2:05:06guard, she does not minor. The weight is important. Just catching

2:05:06 > 2:05:14the first guard. It is not in the house. If they catch it on the way

2:05:14 > 2:05:19in, hopefully the red will still roll into the house but the primary

2:05:19 > 2:05:27target is the second red just at the top of the house.

2:05:28 > 2:05:29All the time looking to create.

2:05:36 > 2:05:49I think we are going to catch the high one. Yes.Slow slowdown.Just a

2:05:49 > 2:05:54little bit heavy and it will go through the back.They caught the

2:05:54 > 2:06:03guard quite a bit, as well. At some point, that is fine, when you have

2:06:03 > 2:06:08not got anything out of the shot. I know why you say that is fine.It is

2:06:08 > 2:06:17to keep your confidence up. Fine would have been the nice little hit

2:06:17 > 2:06:24and a roll across to the side. It is a different type of

2:06:24 > 2:06:30psychology. You want to be positive but you also have to recognise when

2:06:30 > 2:06:36a bad shot is a bad shot. You will not emphasise it by saying it is

2:06:36 > 2:06:44bad, but I am sure inside they know. It is just trying to keep supporting

2:06:44 > 2:06:53each other. Again a roll-out from Japan. Another opportunity for Vicki

2:06:53 > 2:06:54Adams.

2:07:00 > 2:07:04There is a high yellow guard. If we can catch the yellow in the house

2:07:04 > 2:07:10and a little bit of a roll, that would be good. That is very nice.

2:07:10 > 2:07:14That is better from Vicki.

2:07:20 > 2:07:27Just building an opportunity here. Would love to get the two. We are in

2:07:27 > 2:07:33the house, behind the guard. Yoshida.

2:07:39 > 2:07:45Trying to run back against that red. She has got it.Perfect. She

2:07:45 > 2:07:52replaces it. Well. A little raise of the hand from Chinami Yoshida.

2:07:52 > 2:07:58Perfect.

2:08:05 > 2:08:14PLAYER: if we are doing it this way, we are jamming over here.If you

2:08:14 > 2:08:20leave another yellow in there, if it sticks...Just leave the centre,

2:08:20 > 2:08:27that is all. What do you like?The first, the run to try and get a

2:08:27 > 2:08:35blank.The yellow is really high. If you are confident with your weight,

2:08:35 > 2:08:40it is a great opportunity to create the two. You need to sit somewhere

2:08:40 > 2:08:44in the eight foot.At some point they have to believe in themselves

2:08:44 > 2:08:50to make the shot.It was like earlier with Nicholas, he did not go

2:08:50 > 2:08:55out to win the game, he tried not to lose. I think you have to take these

2:08:55 > 2:09:00opportunities.It is pulling hard already. She might be passed. She

2:09:00 > 2:09:09is. Because they swept it hard, where will it stop? They needed it

2:09:09 > 2:09:16to sit.Not bad. That is a good attempt. Unfortunately for us, it

2:09:16 > 2:09:21has gone

2:09:21 > 2:09:25has gone behind the T-line, so Japan can follow that.This shot is always

2:09:25 > 2:09:29helpful.

2:09:34 > 2:09:39She has played very well so far, Yoshida, the older of the two

2:09:39 > 2:09:42sisters. A calm delivery.

2:09:51 > 2:09:58I think she might catch... She did as well.The crowd will applaud

2:09:58 > 2:10:06that. There you go!

2:10:09 > 2:10:12that. There you go! Where can Eve put her stone now? She has the

2:10:12 > 2:10:21chance to use this one. We still have three to go.We want to try to

2:10:21 > 2:10:26get half of that and roll across to the left as you see on the picture,

2:10:26 > 2:10:31try to separate the stones. They will both be behind the T-line, but

2:10:31 > 2:10:40we need to get rid of the yellow first. This is sitting high on the

2:10:40 > 2:10:45line. I think she will try to get enough of it, but will she stay in

2:10:45 > 2:10:53the house?No. A pity the back red was not closer, it could have helped

2:10:53 > 2:10:58it to stay.

2:10:59 > 2:11:03it to stay. Sadly, Anna missing an opportunity. Still have the red

2:11:03 > 2:11:10toxins. The second yellow just got moved to the side slightly. They can

2:11:10 > 2:11:21see more of it now.This is a good opportunity now for Fujisawa to get

2:11:21 > 2:11:33one in there and sit on the teeline. Even if Anna had made the shot they

2:11:33 > 2:11:38were still that shot left for Japan. Just the little momentum swings just

2:11:38 > 2:11:51now. If you do not fulfil your shot to the best of your ability.

2:11:51 > 2:11:57Once it crosses the centre line, it moves.A lot. It has a good chance.

2:12:01 > 2:12:14Just tap sit back. -- taps it. A pretty good shot.

2:12:17 > 2:12:23pretty good shot.If we can try to catch as much

2:12:23 > 2:12:25catch as much of the nose, maybe a fraction to the right-hand side of

2:12:25 > 2:12:31the nose.

2:12:31 > 2:12:37Have to be careful of the line. You have to throw well enough on the

2:12:37 > 2:12:42right-hand side of the centre line and let it come across. If you

2:12:42 > 2:12:50overthrow it, you see what Anna's did.The weight is crucial. She

2:12:50 > 2:12:59cannot have too much weight. It needs enough. A little bit less ice

2:12:59 > 2:13:10from Anna Sloan. See if Eve can get something going. In the fifth end.

2:13:10 > 2:13:18Half a chance to get a two but it needs an excellent shot. Set it up

2:13:18 > 2:13:23with this first one. It has to skirt past the second yellow. This has a

2:13:23 > 2:13:32chance, a great chance. Well, it is a nice shot. It was almost there and

2:13:32 > 2:13:37a little bit more, the red would've tucked in and the yellow go further

2:13:37 > 2:13:48back. Almost perfect. The line was good, it lacked extra, not much. It

2:13:48 > 2:13:55caught the angle right and everything.

2:13:55 > 2:14:03everything. Great Britain lying the one.

2:14:03 > 2:14:06one. Could have been almost two, which would have been a marvellous

2:14:06 > 2:14:14situation to be in.She will follow this in. Still a difficult shot,

2:14:14 > 2:14:20because she needs to be sitting on the nose of it. If she bounces off

2:14:20 > 2:14:28it, we have a good opportunity to pick up our two.It is almost

2:14:28 > 2:14:36identical, the line. Pulling hard.I am not sure she will get past the

2:14:36 > 2:14:45second, oh, she house. A wonderful shot.-- she house. Just a little

2:14:45 > 2:14:50tap back.Those are the shots she played in the semifinal the other

2:14:50 > 2:14:58day. She is a wonderful draw shot player.Eve needs to be aware of

2:14:58 > 2:15:04what she is up against, Fujisawa with these nice draws, she is always

2:15:04 > 2:15:10capable of making it. It was a nice weight.

2:15:10 > 2:15:14The only thing you can say is that Eve played this. She

2:15:14 > 2:15:16The only thing you can say is that Eve played this. She just needs to

2:15:16 > 2:15:21catch that yellow a little bit just on the inside. Nudge it back a few

2:15:21 > 2:15:28inches and stay...

2:15:28 > 2:15:32inches and stay... This is another delicate little shot.She has to

2:15:32 > 2:15:36play the right weight, just a tiny edge of that yellow to push it to

2:15:36 > 2:15:41the side but keep her shooter in. With less weight it's going to turn

2:15:41 > 2:15:46more at the end. This one is definitely got a bit more weight on

2:15:46 > 2:15:53it, more than Fujisawa's had. She's got a chance here. Pass the first

2:15:53 > 2:15:58one, past the second one. Needs to nudge that. That's unlucky. That's

2:15:58 > 2:16:06very unlucky. Gets one but not two. A very good shot from Eve Muirhead.

2:16:06 > 2:16:14Not quite the result she wanted but she picks up one.

2:16:17 > 2:16:24So that's it after five ends, Great Britain lead by one. It's a tight

2:16:24 > 2:16:30affair, not much quarter being given by either team.

2:16:33 > 2:16:37by either team. CLARE BALDING: we will be back with the curling

2:16:37 > 2:16:42shortly. There are some changes in the TV schedule. On BBC One we will

2:16:42 > 2:16:46be on air and till 2pm. The news will follow that and Hazel will have

2:16:46 > 2:16:54more highlights from 2:15pm. At 4pm it's Scotland versus England in the

2:16:54 > 2:17:03Calcutta Cup clash from Murrayfield. Football Focus is on BBC Two right

2:17:03 > 2:17:07now. We'll be back with the curling shortly. Eve Muirhead and her team

2:17:07 > 2:17:12looking to try and win a bronze medal for a second Winter Olympics

2:17:12 > 2:17:16running. Team GB have been celebrating success banks to Billy

2:17:16 > 2:17:26Morgan. -- thanks to Billy Morgan. We have a very, very big day for you

2:17:26 > 2:17:33today. The final of men's big air. Billy Morgan I think going to go for

2:17:33 > 2:17:38the front side 1440 triple cork. If he lands this he is well within the

2:17:38 > 2:17:47medal scores.He needs to go stratospheric.Come on Billy Morgan!

2:17:47 > 2:17:52Frontside triple 14.

2:17:52 > 2:17:56Frontside triple 14. Billy Morgan! Yes! Billy Morgan with the double

2:17:56 > 2:18:04grab frontside triple 14. That is absolutely huge!Oh my goodness.

2:18:04 > 2:18:11Billy Morgan moves into bronze medal position and it is a long and

2:18:11 > 2:18:15nervous wait. The whole of the UK now needs to watch this jump through

2:18:15 > 2:18:25their eyes. He's gone! Billy Morgan has got a bronze medal!

2:18:25 > 2:18:30Congratulations, Billy. CLARE BALDING: that bronze medal for Billy

2:18:30 > 2:18:33Morgan means that Pyeongchang 2018 is the most successful Winter

2:18:33 > 2:18:38Olympics of all time for the British team thanks to these five. Lizzy

2:18:38 > 2:18:43Yarnold who defended her skeleton title to become Britain's's

2:18:43 > 2:18:49first-ever double gold medallist at the Winter Olympics. The hind live

2:18:49 > 2:18:52the taking bronze, Laura Deas taking bronze meaning Britain filled two

2:18:52 > 2:19:01spots on the podium for the first time. Team GB's first medal of these

2:19:01 > 2:19:06games was won by Dom Parsons, the first male skeleton medallist for 70

2:19:06 > 2:19:11years. And the youngest member of the team delivered one of the best

2:19:11 > 2:19:19results, a bronze for Izzy Atkin in ski slopestyle. Passing that record

2:19:19 > 2:19:24British medal mark earlier today, Billy Morgan soaring into the sky to

2:19:24 > 2:19:28take the bronze in the big air. This was receiving his bronze medal. He

2:19:28 > 2:19:33said I'm 28 and I've maxed the limit of what my body can be scared about.

2:19:33 > 2:19:37It's the best feeling, the payoff after you do something you're scared

2:19:37 > 2:19:43of. You put the fear to one side knowing if he landed badly it would

2:19:43 > 2:19:50all be over, but he didn't. He made it and these five have set the pace

2:19:50 > 2:19:54for the most successful British Winter Olympic team ever.

2:19:54 > 2:19:58Congratulations to all of them. The question is, can Eve Muirhead make

2:19:58 > 2:19:59Congratulations to all of them. The question is, can Eve Muirhead make

2:19:59 > 2:20:04it six medals from the same games? It's been a tight start to the

2:20:04 > 2:20:08bronze medal match against Japan. Great Britain leading 3-2. What have

2:20:08 > 2:20:16you made of it?Very much a cagey affair. Both teams making some

2:20:16 > 2:20:21mistakes and probably a sign of some nerves.DEC tell-tale signs and can

2:20:21 > 2:20:25you tell if someone is feeling it? -- do

2:20:25 > 2:20:29you tell if someone is feeling it? -- do you see tell-tale signs?I

2:20:29 > 2:20:32think so. The way they are communicating, just the way they are

2:20:32 > 2:20:42talking. Not quite the communication we've seen previously.These

2:20:43 > 2:20:48athletes work on high-pressure situations, like curling for an

2:20:48 > 2:20:54Olympic medal, you can either be your best friend or worst enemy. Eve

2:20:54 > 2:20:57is familiar with these levels of stress and she should know how to

2:20:57 > 2:21:01deal with them.They've done a huge amount of work behind the scene 's

2:21:01 > 2:21:07and their ability to deal with that stress and they'll be talking about

2:21:07 > 2:21:12that as to the next five ends going forward.That's Glenn Howard, their

2:21:12 > 2:21:16Canadian coach. He came into the British curling set up to try and

2:21:16 > 2:21:18help them build on what they are doing. They have the advantage of

2:21:18 > 2:21:25the hammer on the odd ends. They are trying to get a situation... It was

2:21:25 > 2:21:29interesting early on that Eve was trying to blank the third end to

2:21:29 > 2:21:35give her self chance of getting two on next. Didn't quite manage it.Not

2:21:35 > 2:21:40quite but they've stayed in control. They are ahead in the game. The

2:21:40 > 2:21:45biggest thing for me now is that they have to make sure that they can

2:21:45 > 2:21:49deal with the pressure. That's the biggest skill of all, especially in

2:21:49 > 2:21:55curling. It's the ability to deal with the pressure, especially now

2:21:55 > 2:21:58it's the medal games and these last few ends when every single shot

2:21:58 > 2:22:03really matters. We are talking about millimetres. We just need to focus

2:22:03 > 2:22:07on what they are doing and work really hard as a team.Will be back

2:22:07 > 2:22:10shortly but let's take this opportunity to bring you up-to-date

2:22:10 > 2:22:15on all the headlines so far on this penultimate day of the Winter

2:22:15 > 2:22:18Olympics. Britain are out of medal contention at the halfway stage of

2:22:18 > 2:22:25the four-man bob. The German team lead

2:22:26 > 2:22:31lead the way with the GB sleds 17th and 18th. They weren't helped by

2:22:31 > 2:22:36having to change their runners. Both threads seem unlikely to match the

2:22:36 > 2:22:40eighth place finish achieved by the British women. In the inaugural

2:22:40 > 2:22:49Alpine ski team event the GB team knocked out the USA but with then

2:22:49 > 2:22:53eliminated by Norway. The gold medal eventually won by Switzerland who

2:22:53 > 2:22:57beat Austria in the final. Ester Ledecka has become the first woman

2:22:57 > 2:23:03to win gold in two different sports at the same Winter Olympics. She

2:23:03 > 2:23:06wanted a's snowboard giant slalom week after her shock victory on skis

2:23:06 > 2:23:11in the Super-G. The USA began the men's curling competition ranked 13

2:23:11 > 2:23:16in the world but they clinched gold today beating the world number one

2:23:16 > 2:23:21Sweden. That amazing shot from the skip pulling it off to take five and

2:23:21 > 2:23:29they beat 10-7. The Russian bobsleigh pilot has admitted an

2:23:29 > 2:23:35anti-doping violation and being disqualified from the Winter

2:23:35 > 2:23:40Olympics. She tested positive for a banned heart medication two days

2:23:40 > 2:23:46before her race in which she ended 12. The second athlete from the OAR

2:23:46 > 2:23:50to test positive and be expelled from these games. The first of them

2:23:50 > 2:24:01in curling which is very rare. Let's hand you back to the early stages of

2:24:01 > 2:24:09the sixth end. It's very, very tight. COMMENTATOR: It is, one shot

2:24:09 > 2:24:14in it with Great Britain leading 3-2. You left us that the figure end

2:24:14 > 2:24:18of the half-time break. A few stones in this sick end and you can see

2:24:18 > 2:24:24their Great Britain have won in on the button there. A couple of stones

2:24:24 > 2:24:29upfront which have been removed since then. We were listening to

2:24:29 > 2:24:35Glenn Howard chatting to the winning's team at half-time, and the

2:24:35 > 2:24:39strategy was to force the one, blank the seventh and get the hammer in

2:24:39 > 2:24:42the eighth and tenth. I've heard that before but it's easier said

2:24:42 > 2:24:47than done.

2:24:49 > 2:24:54than done. Just a little nick there. Those are the Little Mix that, when

2:24:54 > 2:25:01they start going against you, can really punish you -- little nicks.

2:25:01 > 2:25:08That one catches and runs all the way through.

2:25:09 > 2:25:13way through. Still plenty of stones to come in this end but that's

2:25:13 > 2:25:17little advantage to Great Britain. We haven't got many stones in play

2:25:17 > 2:25:22here.

2:25:22 > 2:25:29here.Two, I can count them. So not many.Vicki Adams...

2:25:31 > 2:25:35many.Vicki Adams...Did we notice what they had at half-time today,

2:25:35 > 2:25:44what it bananas and oranges?It was. They would have been specially

2:25:44 > 2:25:48prepared by Kelly Schafer. That is part of your job as the player.Peel

2:25:48 > 2:25:55the orange and cut the banana?Match the stones, carry the brushes... Cut

2:25:55 > 2:26:02the fruit. And support the team, most of all. A huge role, fifth man,

2:26:02 > 2:26:12actually.

2:26:14 > 2:26:22As it stands at the moment I don't think we'll be forcing the one here.

2:26:22 > 2:26:27And the option of blanking with Japan but they don't really want to

2:26:27 > 2:26:33blank this end. With Great Britain still leading, they would have the

2:26:33 > 2:26:38hammer in seven and nine. They'll want to try and get their score in

2:26:38 > 2:26:45here. That read out on the wing is still in play. Might well figure

2:26:45 > 2:26:55later on. We've seen the white stones come into play. Even though

2:26:55 > 2:27:00it looks as though they aren't going to. In the very first end, remember

2:27:00 > 2:27:07the one sitting on the side, it ended up with Eve making a little

2:27:07 > 2:27:16error and just picking up one. She was trying to blank. A quiet start

2:27:16 > 2:27:21so far to the second half of this match. Just following in the same

2:27:21 > 2:27:25frame of the type of play we've seen so far in this cagey affair for the

2:27:25 > 2:27:30bronze medal.

2:27:36 > 2:27:40If either of these teams want to have that medal, they are both going

2:27:40 > 2:27:46to have to maybe step it up a little. David Murdoch was right when

2:27:46 > 2:27:49he said it's a bit cagey, no one really am willing to take the game

2:27:49 > 2:27:55on at the minute.

2:27:57 > 2:28:03Now that this end is halfway through, there's probably no point

2:28:03 > 2:28:07for Great Britain, they are going to play the simple shots, keep

2:28:07 > 2:28:15everything in the sense of the house there.

2:28:15 > 2:28:20there.I think the difference between this and how that Sweden

2:28:20 > 2:28:27match started, it was 3-3 at halfway. The hammer had gone to

2:28:27 > 2:28:33Sweden but we are always trying to catch up and stay with Sweden in

2:28:33 > 2:28:38that match. At least we've got our noses ahead here. It's only one

2:28:38 > 2:28:44shot, that's the first time we've gone over that side...We were

2:28:44 > 2:28:49looking for that.Using that stone, and a little laugh. She's had a few

2:28:49 > 2:28:55of them, hasn't she?It's nice to see people enjoying themselves.

2:28:55 > 2:28:59That's what sport is all about. It becomes very serious when it's your

2:28:59 > 2:29:08job, so nobody would not want to see the last and the fun. That inspires

2:29:08 > 2:29:12people and it makes me happy. I think sport is something you should

2:29:12 > 2:29:19do for the love of it. And for the passion.Until you get to the

2:29:19 > 2:29:23Olympic Games and you're a medal contender and then it becomes very

2:29:23 > 2:29:26serious stuff indeed.It certainly does, especially when you've got a

2:29:26 > 2:29:34nation falling behind you.

2:29:35 > 2:29:44nation falling behind you.That's better from Eve.

2:29:45 > 2:29:50This week at the curling I've been really inspired by many, many

2:29:50 > 2:29:54competitors out there. The mixed doubles, what great fun it was, and

2:29:54 > 2:29:58especially someone like Matt Hamilton today winning the men's

2:29:58 > 2:30:01Olympic gold medal. I listened to his interview and somebody said

2:30:01 > 2:30:05you're the joke in the team and he said, I only play this game because

2:30:05 > 2:30:09I enjoy it and I want everyone to see how much I enjoy it. I think

2:30:09 > 2:30:22that inspires people to think they could have a go at it.

2:30:26 > 2:30:32You said you have been inspired, what sport are you taking up?I can

2:30:32 > 2:30:40see you at halfpipe!Snowboard cross? I still curl for seniors but

2:30:40 > 2:30:52I struggle with my bowl. I think I will take up bowls.A summer sport.

2:30:52 > 2:30:58There was no bowls this week!

2:31:01 > 2:31:05There was no bowls this week!May be bowls. I think I once told Katherine

2:31:05 > 2:31:11Grainger I would take up bowls and she said she would hold me to it.

2:31:11 > 2:31:23Keep an eye on me if I do it.Just wants to sit here. And try to induce

2:31:23 > 2:31:30the mistake from Japan.She rolled it back into the centre, which means

2:31:30 > 2:31:35for Japan to hit this and roll out, she has more of the house to roll

2:31:35 > 2:31:43across. You might get a mistake from her.We would like her to make the

2:31:43 > 2:31:47mistake Eve made and give up the one. Britain happy to force the one

2:31:47 > 2:31:56here. Wants to hit the red and roll out and carry a hammer into the next

2:31:56 > 2:32:05end. Going pretty straight.

2:32:05 > 2:32:09end. Going pretty straight. Just enough. Just straightened up. We

2:32:09 > 2:32:15thought for a little while they might be in bother but she manages

2:32:15 > 2:32:23to get out so a blanked end and Great Britain retain the lead. The

2:32:23 > 2:32:27hammer stays with Japan into the seventh. That is not bad, it means

2:32:27 > 2:32:32Great Britain could well have the hammer in the final end, if we score

2:32:32 > 2:32:38through the next three. It needs something to happen. I know I have

2:32:38 > 2:32:47said this, but just... It is a match which, well I have said it before, I

2:32:47 > 2:32:54know it is a Saturday, but it is like a 0-0 draw, I know it is not

2:32:54 > 2:32:590-0, but you know what I mean.Both teams feeling each other out. We

2:32:59 > 2:33:05have just come off the back of what was an extraordinary men's gold

2:33:05 > 2:33:10medal match, which had some fantastic shotmaking with lots of

2:33:10 > 2:33:17stones in play, drama.Worthy of a gold match. The underdog, if you

2:33:17 > 2:33:21like, came through. Always a great sporting story when that happens.

2:33:21 > 2:33:29John Schuster and his team. Not fancied by anybody to do

2:33:29 > 2:33:34particularly well, and even after six matches here, they lost four,

2:33:34 > 2:33:39could not afford to lose any more. They went on a winning streak that

2:33:39 > 2:33:44saw them go through to the gold medal. We try again.

2:33:48 > 2:33:56Lauren Gray again. 94%, so far today. Very good.

2:34:03 > 2:34:10The younger of the year she'd sisters.

2:34:12 > 2:34:17sisters. -- Yoshida sisters.We are trying to force Japan into the

2:34:17 > 2:34:27centre by placing the short centre guard.

2:34:28 > 2:34:36A good response. Eve would like Lauren to draw in on the top of

2:34:36 > 2:34:45that. We are going to see some stones in here. If Lauren can be

2:34:45 > 2:34:53really accurate. That will force the issue a little bit.

2:34:53 > 2:34:58You feel it is tense in the crowd, you feel they are absorbed by what

2:34:58 > 2:34:59they are watching.

2:35:06 > 2:35:16Hard sweeping from Anna Sloan and Vicki Adams. Wanting to get it top

2:35:16 > 2:35:26of the yellow.That is good, the girls swept that well.

2:35:30 > 2:35:34We will see something similar from Japan and as I said, we are going to

2:35:34 > 2:35:44get some stones in play. It will follow a similar route down.

2:35:44 > 2:35:51Try to sit on top of the red.

2:35:51 > 2:36:08They are working this hard.Suzuki is joining in. It will overcome --

2:36:08 > 2:36:14over curl a little.

2:36:14 > 2:36:20over curl a little. PLAYER: It looks like just high.An inch.

2:36:20 > 2:36:25Vicki Adams, this is a shot she likes playing.

2:36:31 > 2:36:37Driving her own red shot into the pack in the house. It looks a little

2:36:37 > 2:36:37high.

2:36:50 > 2:36:56PLAYER: That is fine, yes.That is fine.

2:36:56 > 2:37:03More support for each other.

2:37:10 > 2:37:18A good call would be for Japan to hit the high yellow onto the red,

2:37:18 > 2:37:23onto the yellow, almost split them and give them space between them to

2:37:23 > 2:37:27make it harder for Great Britain to remove all of them, or at least two.

2:37:27 > 2:37:33I think they are discussing perhaps sitting on top of those. Yes, that

2:37:33 > 2:37:38will go that way, that will go that way, that is what we should do.

2:37:38 > 2:37:45Decision made.

2:37:45 > 2:37:48Decision made.Suzuki has already headed back. I do not think she

2:37:48 > 2:37:54needs to sit in the centre. Japan have a hammer and can afford to hit

2:37:54 > 2:38:01the high yellow, I want to save the left-hand side, and roll across to

2:38:01 > 2:38:09the other side, separating shots.

2:38:21 > 2:38:28Yumi Suzuki only paying 60% at the moment for Team Japan.On the draw,

2:38:28 > 2:38:33I do not think I have seen anybody as low as 38% in the competition.

2:38:43 > 2:38:57Just a gentle tap.She has finished up in a nice position. I know I said

2:38:57 > 2:39:04I thought she should open it up. If Great Britain try to hit these, we

2:39:04 > 2:39:08will lose our red.A board meeting called here by the chairman.

2:39:08 > 2:39:16Everybody coming down.

2:39:16 > 2:39:19Everybody coming down.Fernandes we might not leave this. I think that

2:39:19 > 2:39:21is what we do. -- play a

2:39:25 > 2:39:28PLAYER: The front and the back one, if we

2:39:28 > 2:39:36can. We probably want to hold the shooter. This will spring more than

2:39:36 > 2:39:41the shooter.

2:39:52 > 2:39:59Playing peel weight here.

2:40:06 > 2:40:13She did say she would try to hold the shooter.

2:40:15 > 2:40:19the shooter. If it is thin it will not be possible. Let's see how they

2:40:19 > 2:40:24separate.

2:40:24 > 2:40:29separate. That is a good shot. It has opened it up nicely, indeed. A

2:40:29 > 2:40:36good shot. The British team members, you can see Glen Muirhead. I think

2:40:36 > 2:40:44they are all up there. I saw

2:40:46 > 2:40:48they are all up there. I saw the two Kyles earlier on.

2:40:58 > 2:41:05After those early stones, just starting to build up. That one shot

2:41:05 > 2:41:11from Vicki Adams. Back to just one Japanese stone. They will try to

2:41:11 > 2:41:16come across the other side of the house. They have the hammer. Nothing

2:41:16 > 2:41:23out front for them at the moment.

2:41:28 > 2:41:40PLAYER: Throw normal, just normal.OK.

2:41:43 > 2:41:46This is the scrap for the bronze medal and it is a scrap at the

2:41:46 > 2:41:47moment.

2:41:56 > 2:42:05Anna Sloan looking to just move off this yellow. It would be nice to be

2:42:05 > 2:42:16close to the other yellow. PLAYER: Good job.That is fine. Unfortunate,

2:42:16 > 2:42:20the girls thought it was a little high and did not sweep it enough and

2:42:20 > 2:42:26then they did not get the roll they were looking for, but there was good

2:42:26 > 2:42:36communication. We heard Vicki saying thin double, but they did leave it.

2:42:36 > 2:42:42Chinami Yoshida.

2:42:42 > 2:42:55Watch this. Just jams the red. Spring is the other yellow out. The

2:42:55 > 2:43:05red is in a handy position than it was. Absolutely nothing to work with

2:43:05 > 2:43:06out front for Japan.

2:43:18 > 2:43:29This will all pull close to the centre line.

2:43:32 > 2:43:39That is an opportunity for Japan to use it as a nest and sit in it. She

2:43:39 > 2:43:43really needed to hit and stick across on the other side to keep

2:43:43 > 2:43:55them separated.This is another big chance for Japan.

2:43:56 > 2:44:01Three stones left for them. As Jackie was saying, a nice target to

2:44:01 > 2:44:10come up against with the two reds. Britain would love to force the one

2:44:10 > 2:44:16here, get the hammer in the eighth for two ahead.

2:44:22 > 2:44:32She said this a little light? -- sent this.Going to have to work it

2:44:32 > 2:44:39hard but they just want to sit right in the pack, not any bounce.It was

2:44:39 > 2:44:43well swept again. A little light but at least the sweepers can work with

2:44:43 > 2:44:48it.

2:44:50 > 2:45:06it. Very thin to get it out.We have to be careful we do not jam it.

2:45:06 > 2:45:17Lauren comes to have a look.

2:45:23 > 2:45:31Well, this is going to be a difficult shot to make. She's going

2:45:31 > 2:45:38to try and catch the inside of that yellow and squeeze it past the red.

2:45:38 > 2:45:41As Jackie was saying, she doesn't want to jam it onto the red and

2:45:41 > 2:45:52catch it too thick here. Now Eve is having another thought.We need a

2:45:52 > 2:45:58little bit inside, but I don't mind that.We have decided to go with our

2:45:58 > 2:46:04original thought. As a skip sometimes the first thought you have

2:46:04 > 2:46:11is the right one. There's a bit of debating and thought in her mind so

2:46:11 > 2:46:18lets that she concentrates on the shot.It was interesting Eve asked

2:46:18 > 2:46:25Lauren to have a look, almost as if she's not trusting herself at this

2:46:25 > 2:46:38point. I'm sure she is.She needs to catch a tiny edge of it... That's

2:46:38 > 2:46:42fine, that's all that was needed. That was good. Didn't want to leave

2:46:42 > 2:46:47that yellow in there.

2:46:48 > 2:46:55that yellow in there. But the red is still sitting.

2:47:02 > 2:47:10Still the option of a blank end for Japan. Then will be into number

2:47:10 > 2:47:22eight. That was my point about being one ahead. So crucial...

2:47:22 > 2:47:27one ahead. So crucial... It's not been a high-scoring match... Two or

2:47:27 > 2:47:37three of them have come from mistakes. It's gone.

2:47:45 > 2:47:49Great Britain are still trying to force that one here rather than the

2:47:49 > 2:47:54blank.

2:47:56 > 2:48:00blank. And make it very difficult for Japan to try and peel it out

2:48:00 > 2:48:07without jamming it on the back one. That stone has temptingly stayed

2:48:07 > 2:48:15there. They would love to force the one here. She needs to jam it up

2:48:15 > 2:48:19against that yellow so it can't really be moved. She needs to be

2:48:19 > 2:48:25absolutely perfect hair.

2:48:25 > 2:48:28absolutely perfect hair. Where's it going? That is a cracking shot from

2:48:28 > 2:48:36Eve Muirhead. Now then, Fujisawa heads down the other end. She's got

2:48:36 > 2:48:43to come onto the other side of the red. She wants to blank the end here

2:48:43 > 2:48:54if she can. She wants to move the red, make sure it goes.

2:48:54 > 2:49:00red, make sure it goes. She has to get this just right. Move the red,

2:49:00 > 2:49:05it's not going to be easy here, and leave the house with her own stone.

2:49:05 > 2:49:13Plenty of weight on here. As much as she can. Has she does -- has she

2:49:13 > 2:49:21done it? She has. Very good from Fujisawa. Great Britain still lead

2:49:21 > 2:49:25this and that's another end gone. Three to go but it means Japan will

2:49:25 > 2:49:29have the hammer in the eighth and possibly the tenth. They won't if

2:49:29 > 2:49:36they keep blanking ends. They have to score at some point. A couple of

2:49:36 > 2:49:42good shots there in the latter stages from the British team, Eve

2:49:42 > 2:49:48Muirhead now, although her stats say only 73%, I think she's been playing

2:49:48 > 2:49:58reasonably well. It is for the taking still. But lovely smile from

2:49:58 > 2:50:03Fujisawa.

2:50:10 > 2:50:17Family members at the back. They'll be nervous now, every end that goes

2:50:17 > 2:50:22by. They desperately want to win the bronze medal, to have something to

2:50:22 > 2:50:25go home with. After the huge disappointment of not getting

2:50:25 > 2:50:35through to the final. No Canada in the medal matches, and you would

2:50:35 > 2:50:39have been so happy if someone had told you that before this

2:50:39 > 2:50:43competition, that Canada wouldn't be in the final four. You'd think yes,

2:50:43 > 2:50:47that gives us a brilliant opportunity festival to get into the

2:50:47 > 2:50:52final and then to win the gold medal, but it wasn't to be. This is

2:50:52 > 2:50:58as good as it can be, when the bronze. Emulates what happened in

2:50:58 > 2:51:06Sochi.

2:51:22 > 2:51:29One of these teams, you just want them to go and win it. It's been so

2:51:29 > 2:51:35cagey. OK, the odd good shot forces be issued to the other team, and you

2:51:35 > 2:51:45don't want to take too many risks. You don't but sometimes you've just

2:51:45 > 2:51:55got to take the bull by the horns, be prepared to face the challenge. I

2:51:55 > 2:52:05just worry at the moment it's a cat and mouse game.The danger is you

2:52:05 > 2:52:10get to close to the end to respond. One team gets a big score in and end

2:52:10 > 2:52:17it's too late to respond now.I realise you don't want to get sucked

2:52:17 > 2:52:24into the opposition's type of game, but we don't have the hammer and

2:52:24 > 2:52:29it's maybe the fact that Japan really need to take it on a little

2:52:29 > 2:52:35bit more.I would say that. At this point, as good as Japan have played,

2:52:35 > 2:52:40they have to score. They've got to score in a way which gives them...

2:52:40 > 2:52:47If they don't score here, they've got a hammer in the ninth. No score

2:52:47 > 2:52:51again. It's not doing them any good not getting a score. We've had to

2:52:51 > 2:53:03blank dens -- two blanked ends. I'm not sure we seen as tense affair as

2:53:03 > 2:53:09this one all week in terms of scoring and the cagey nature of it.

2:53:09 > 2:53:16I'm trying to say not been anything other than engaging, enthralling. If

2:53:16 > 2:53:20this had been a round robin match we'd be thinking, come on.It's

2:53:20 > 2:53:24because it is a medal match and there is tension. It's because both

2:53:24 > 2:53:31teams are desperate to get this game finished and when it.That camera is

2:53:31 > 2:53:46above the button. Why is right above that stone, it may just be nibbling.

2:53:46 > 2:53:52We see Japan trying to use the corner on their foot. She almost

2:53:52 > 2:54:00gave that too much ice. I don't think she's going to hide at all in

2:54:00 > 2:54:07here.No.

2:54:09 > 2:54:16here.No. Eve asking for a little hit and roll. Vicki Adams, you can

2:54:16 > 2:54:25see on the draw, only 50%.

2:54:27 > 2:54:30With the exception of Lauren Gray nobody is shooting the lights out

2:54:30 > 2:54:36here, that's for sure.

2:54:36 > 2:54:42here, that's for sure.Taking its time.Sadly rolls across a little

2:54:42 > 2:54:49too much, but a good try from Vicki Adams.

2:54:55 > 2:55:01A real nailbiter, this one.

2:55:07 > 2:55:17You have to hold your nerve.Suzuki with the opportunity to play a nice

2:55:17 > 2:55:21controlled weight, catch the top one and roll across behind her corner

2:55:21 > 2:55:26guard. She probably won't be in the house but it will be a double corner

2:55:26 > 2:55:34they can hopefully use...It's not a double corner but she takes one.
