BBC Two Day 12: GB v USA in Men's Curling

0:01:15 > 0:01:19Good morning from Pyeongchang where there is a kick site meant up at the

0:01:19 > 0:01:25Alpine Centre for the women's downhill. -- there is big

0:01:25 > 0:01:29excitement. It includes one of the greatest women's skier of all time.

0:01:29 > 0:01:35After missing Sochi four years ago, Lindsey Vonn is back and aiming to

0:01:35 > 0:01:44maintain the culture you one ages ago in what she says is 99.9% her

0:01:44 > 0:01:47last Olympics. We will bring you all of the action and here is what is

0:01:47 > 0:01:53coming up. A win for team dismissed against the

0:01:53 > 0:01:58USA would see them safely into the semifinals. -- team Smith. We will

0:01:58 > 0:02:02be back to see the conclusion of that match. Women's downhill day,

0:02:02 > 0:02:10the bravest and fastest on skis take to the mountain. And we will show

0:02:10 > 0:02:15you what happens in one of the most entertaining events, the ski cross.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19And quarterfinal action from men's ice hockey, with the Olympic

0:02:19 > 0:02:22Athletes from Russia taking on Norway.

0:02:22 > 0:02:30Straight to the Curling Centre where it it is a must win match for Great

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Britain's rink, taking on the USA. The win will guarantee their place

0:02:33 > 0:02:38in the play-off matches. Let's join Steve Cram and Jackie Lockhart.

0:02:41 > 0:02:48This one is tied up 2-2, and John Shuster, the US skip, looking at

0:02:48 > 0:02:52another tricky situation that Kyle Smith, the British skip, has put him

0:02:52 > 0:02:58into. He has just drawn around the yellow, so close to catching the

0:02:58 > 0:03:07guard around the top. USA got off to a better start than Great Britain

0:03:07 > 0:03:10picking up two. Great Britain held to one in the second, managed to

0:03:10 > 0:03:14steal in the third, a few mistakes from the United States. They then

0:03:14 > 0:03:20retained the hammer into the fourth end, but Britain would love to force

0:03:20 > 0:03:27the one if they could. That last shot, that just scraped by. It does

0:03:27 > 0:03:35give Shuster a problem, it has already been the draw shot, the won

0:03:35 > 0:03:46he has been misjudging.It's right in behind and it's left John

0:03:47 > 0:03:48in behind and it's left John Shuster the big dilemma, does he try and get

0:03:48 > 0:03:58it back into it? He wants to create a two here.He thinks he can get his

0:03:58 > 0:04:03two by driving that yellow back into the red and sitting with his

0:04:03 > 0:04:08shooter.It depends where he gets it. He can drive it into the red,

0:04:08 > 0:04:12catch the right-hand side of it that would take it to the back red but he

0:04:12 > 0:04:16does not want to drive the red into the backpack. You did hear him

0:04:16 > 0:04:21saying, if he has to take one, he will take one, but he's trying to do

0:04:21 > 0:04:24the runner back rather than the guard.I don't think the draw is

0:04:24 > 0:04:28working for him so he's preferring this shot, a little bit more risky.

0:04:28 > 0:04:39Missed. Now, where is it ending up? And other steel for Great Britain.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42The United States in the last two ends, he's made some odd decisions,

0:04:42 > 0:04:49Shuster does not trust himself to take the one. He wanted to try and

0:04:49 > 0:04:55manufacturer two, with a different type of shots, it's a risky shots,

0:04:55 > 0:05:01and missed. So Great Britain now lead this. Given that Great Britain

0:05:01 > 0:05:04only managed to get one in the second and lost the hammer, they

0:05:04 > 0:05:08will be delighted to be missed decision now. The hammer retained by

0:05:08 > 0:05:15the US as they move into the fifth. So important for Great Britain, very

0:05:15 > 0:05:18straightforward for them, wind of this, into the semifinals, no

0:05:18 > 0:05:26question. It doesn't matter what happens elsewhere. If they lose, it

0:05:26 > 0:05:30is likely there will be a tie-break scenario. There is a combination of

0:05:30 > 0:05:35results that even if they lose, they will be in the top four. We will go

0:05:35 > 0:05:39through all of that. We will keep an eye on the other games, Canada art

0:05:39 > 0:05:44leading Denmark, and they can cement their place with a win there in the

0:05:44 > 0:05:50semifinals. Sweden are getting beaten by Norway. That doesn't

0:05:50 > 0:05:54affect things that much, Sweden are already through. The big much to

0:05:54 > 0:05:59keep an eye on from the British perspective is the one between Korea

0:05:59 > 0:06:05and Japan, tied up 3-3 after four ends. The best results would be for

0:06:05 > 0:06:14Korea to beat Japan. That would be for GB. A win is all they will be

0:06:14 > 0:06:18thinking about. So far, so good. They are playing better than the US,

0:06:18 > 0:06:24who started well, but they've had a good diva stakes creeping in. I

0:06:24 > 0:06:30think it's John Shuster, -- a good few mistakes creeping in. I think

0:06:30 > 0:06:37when he is not playing well, they struggle.Yes, Kyle is getting the

0:06:37 > 0:06:39shots and putting the pressure on John Shuster who was not coming out

0:06:39 > 0:06:45with the goods. That last end, he was trying to be clever. He had to

0:06:45 > 0:06:51make sure his yellow connected with the red first, but he was greedy and

0:06:51 > 0:07:04drink -- trying to get the roll as well. They have changed their

0:07:04 > 0:07:08tactics, instead of going front corner, because we have put a high

0:07:08 > 0:07:13card on, they've decided to come and find it. The shot high guard. We

0:07:13 > 0:07:22will follow that. Sit on the nose of it. Just half check it, it would be

0:07:22 > 0:07:31a great shot, don't want to bounce. Kyle Waddell saying the weight is

0:07:31 > 0:07:39perfect, needs to curl a little more.They are coming behind it.

0:07:39 > 0:07:45Want to get attacked in if they can. Behind the button but almost on the

0:07:45 > 0:07:52centre line, it would be great if it could force a one here, the US

0:07:52 > 0:07:58picking up one, a decent start for the first half of this match. Having

0:07:58 > 0:08:01not got out of the traps particularly well. It wasn't that

0:08:01 > 0:08:05Great Britain didn't play well, there were two shots, Kyle Smith,

0:08:05 > 0:08:16almost at double takeout, but then the USA did the same and they had a

0:08:16 > 0:08:26slight advantage. They are just getting their way to wrong, the US.

0:08:26 > 0:08:34-- there weight wrong.That's a nice shot.Comes in on top of the red.

0:08:34 > 0:08:39They left it completely. He's been a little bit fortunate there. You

0:08:39 > 0:08:43really want to be, the sweeper helping it on its way, the last

0:08:43 > 0:08:49little bit.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53little bit. A little bump here, as Kyle was saying.

0:08:58 > 0:09:07So, just lay it and let your sweepers to the rest. Don't need to

0:09:07 > 0:09:15pitch too much weight on here.

0:09:21 > 0:09:26Really been well controlled by the team at the moment. That's a nice

0:09:26 > 0:09:34shot.Another great shot. I think Kyle this morning, Kyle Waddell,

0:09:34 > 0:09:42this morning, morning at home! He has started very well. Cammy has had

0:09:42 > 0:09:49some sweeping to do already today. Look at fact, just skirts by that

0:09:49 > 0:09:55front yellow. So USA already in a bit of bother here. Just want to

0:09:55 > 0:10:01remove the card, learned their lesson from early on. Matt

0:10:01 > 0:10:12Hamilton... Placed second for US.

0:10:12 > 0:10:14Hamilton... Placed second for US. If you're just waking up to a little

0:10:14 > 0:10:20bit more curling, welcome, getting ready for work or whatever else the

0:10:20 > 0:10:24day holds for you, the great news is that Great Britain's women have

0:10:24 > 0:10:28already qualified for the semifinals, a superb match against

0:10:28 > 0:10:34Canada, putting out the gold medal contenders, Canada, well, they would

0:10:34 > 0:10:39have been gold medal contenders! First time that Canada have not been

0:10:39 > 0:10:43in the semifinals, they have always got a medal in the winning's curling

0:10:43 > 0:10:46competition. So Rachel Holman will not want that on her CV.

0:10:46 > 0:10:52Unfortunately for her that is what she will be remembered. Eve

0:10:52 > 0:10:56Muirhead's team superb in the second half of that match, having trailed

0:10:56 > 0:11:03for much of it early on. They will now face Sweden in the semifinal.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07Still not quite sure who will be in the fourth place, there are some

0:11:07 > 0:11:13permutations available. The South Korean women have been almost

0:11:13 > 0:11:18unstoppable, they top the table. So they will play the fourth team, when

0:11:18 > 0:11:23the final session is played tonight, Great Britain not in that session.

0:11:23 > 0:11:31Already through, they are, they can sit and watch.

0:11:31 > 0:11:38He would have liked to have moved his yellow to open up that... I'm

0:11:38 > 0:11:43just checking some of the stats, checking to see the head-to-head

0:11:43 > 0:11:47against Great Britain against USA. These two teams haven't played each

0:11:47 > 0:11:55other that often. Only twice they've played each other. Both times Great

0:11:55 > 0:12:03Britain coming out the window. Or Kyle Smith coming out the winner.

0:12:03 > 0:12:13So, playing wise, the favour has always fallen to Kyle Smith.They

0:12:13 > 0:12:23decided to leave that there. Just going to come up as a decent guard,

0:12:23 > 0:12:40a fair way out.It has slightly over cold, though. -- over curled.Tyler

0:12:40 > 0:12:49George, playing third.Inch precision here required.

0:13:00 > 0:13:09That's close, isn't it? Britain might have second. That I just say

0:13:09 > 0:13:19Canada?Yes!I meant USA, they're not that far apart! Easy mistake to

0:13:19 > 0:13:25make!

0:13:25 > 0:13:30make! We had a much against Canada at this morning, the women. So the

0:13:30 > 0:13:35USA, that one on the left as you look at it, laying short, Britain

0:13:35 > 0:13:43may well be second. I think shot selection, that was one of the

0:13:43 > 0:13:49features of the match with Rachel Holman this morning, Eve Muirhead,

0:13:49 > 0:13:55not only making the shots, the girls played very well, and struggled

0:13:55 > 0:14:01early on but got her act together if the latter stages, but we just saw

0:14:01 > 0:14:08that from John Shuster, the choice of shots. The hint of desperation

0:14:08 > 0:14:10Canada where feeling, the USA possibly the same. Great Britain

0:14:10 > 0:14:14know that even if they lose this, they have a chance of qualifying,

0:14:14 > 0:14:18but for the USA, it's all over. Maybe that affects your ability to

0:14:18 > 0:14:28think straight.Yes, a bit of indecision is coming into play here.

0:14:28 > 0:14:37Great Britain at the moment are lying two.

0:14:39 > 0:14:45So, when you hear USA saying they want to burn the stone, they want to

0:14:45 > 0:14:49hit the red and go in behind.

0:14:54 > 0:14:58So, just want to try and hit this and the rollover, that looks a bit

0:14:58 > 0:15:07straight. It is. You wanted that one to role

0:15:08 > 0:15:11to role -- you wanted that want to go to the right. What's happening

0:15:11 > 0:15:15is, the back end of each end, Britain of forcing the issue at a

0:15:15 > 0:15:24bit now. The USA not able to get the stones where they want or need them.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28Wade we just want a little role,

0:15:28 > 0:15:31Wade we just want a little role, not too much, if we can just get it

0:15:31 > 0:15:36rolled into the centre. That would be a great shot for us.

0:15:41 > 0:15:52Keep it clean!He's giving his brother aroused. It is a team event.

0:15:52 > 0:16:00-- giving his brother row.

0:16:06 > 0:16:16They have overcooked it.It is getting closer.

0:16:17 > 0:16:23getting closer. It is very close. That is crucial.I hear John Shuster

0:16:23 > 0:16:28say they are lying to macro shots. So that is crucial, the need to keep

0:16:28 > 0:16:38the situation going at the moment. Trading on this said, it is the

0:16:38 > 0:16:42other one, the difference between that and the other American stone in

0:16:42 > 0:16:55the house. I think Britain is closer.

0:16:55 > 0:17:04This is curling. Well, he almost did it too well. It has gone past the

0:17:04 > 0:17:12other one.

0:17:12 > 0:17:20He just got too much action on that one.

0:17:23 > 0:17:26one.He is lying second in third shot here, so we have to make sure

0:17:26 > 0:17:31we get one.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36we get one.And he doesn't want the chance to give the opportunity to

0:17:36 > 0:17:41hit both reds.

0:17:41 > 0:17:50hit both reds. Tucked into the four foot would be good. He said, T-line,

0:17:50 > 0:17:56don't be short. That is the key, it is smart thinking because what is

0:17:56 > 0:18:02obvious here is that John has given him an opportunity to take it, he is

0:18:02 > 0:18:06going to take it on. You missed one last time round, but I think that's

0:18:06 > 0:18:14his favourite short. They can draw all day long.

0:18:14 > 0:18:18all day long. If he can force one, brilliant. Did not give him an easy

0:18:18 > 0:18:25take out.

0:18:25 > 0:18:29take out.The stagger of the high red and yellow are sitting in a

0:18:29 > 0:18:33better position to come round and behind them. But if he did not get

0:18:33 > 0:18:39the stagger rate, it would leave them on it. He is having to come

0:18:39 > 0:18:47round the higher side, it is going to stop.

0:18:47 > 0:19:00to stop. No, it has run too far. That really needed to sit anywhere

0:19:00 > 0:19:05in the red. Wade can he move it and stay? If you can check it out he

0:19:05 > 0:19:19will get two.Or is it three?He could possibly get three.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21could possibly get three.Overthrown by the British skip, that is the

0:19:21 > 0:19:27first real mistake he has made.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32first real mistake he has made.In the last couple of ends, he has not

0:19:32 > 0:19:36performed at and has given it up. I guess he knows that he really has to

0:19:36 > 0:19:48make sure he gets it out the house.

0:19:50 > 0:19:54That is the key, making sure first of all that he hits the stone and

0:19:54 > 0:20:03Great Britain did not get the steel. They would love to stick in there.

0:20:12 > 0:20:18That looks like three from where we're sitting. Again, if you hear

0:20:18 > 0:20:26any expletives or anything else which is not normally broadcast on

0:20:26 > 0:20:30here, we apologise on of those down there, they do get very frustrated,

0:20:30 > 0:20:42and they do have microphones, and sometimes forget that.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50Great Britain are now finding themselves to macro down after five.

0:20:50 > 0:20:58They played well, the USA are making mistakes, and the fans went a little

0:20:58 > 0:21:06bit quiet for a while. They pick up three more by a little mistake by

0:21:06 > 0:21:17Kyle Smith. They are leading by two at the halfway point.

0:21:19 > 0:21:28Here are the headlines on day 12 so far. In the downhill, Sofia Goggia

0:21:28 > 0:21:37made history by becoming

0:21:37 > 0:21:38made history by becoming Austria's first downhill champion. Lindsey

0:21:38 > 0:21:52Vonn had to settle for bronze. Canada's Leman in the ski cross,

0:21:52 > 0:21:55with bumps galore. The figure skating women's singles competition

0:21:55 > 0:22:06got underway.

0:22:06 > 0:22:11got underway. Great Britain's women claimed a 6-5 win over Canada, the

0:22:11 > 0:22:16reigning champions, to book their spot in the curling semi-finals. The

0:22:16 > 0:22:21victory came with an added bonus of eliminating their opponents from the

0:22:21 > 0:22:26tournament. And an incredibly high quality qualification, Billy Morgan

0:22:26 > 0:22:30Adidas spot on Saturday's Big E final of the snowboarding. Garcia

0:22:30 > 0:22:39may top the pile after scoring 97.5 on his second run.

0:22:43 > 0:22:47A little bit of work for Great Britain's meant to do. They trail

0:22:47 > 0:22:53the USA at the midpoint. The Brits need to win the match to ensure

0:22:53 > 0:22:58their place in the play-offs, but they may still have a chance if they

0:22:58 > 0:23:00do not. Let us hope they keep it simple, win the match and then we

0:23:00 > 0:23:05know they are through. Let us go back to Jackie Lockhart and Steve

0:23:05 > 0:23:11Cram at the Gangneung Curling Centre.

0:23:11 > 0:23:23COMMENTATOR: If Britain lose this match, they will not be eliminated

0:23:23 > 0:23:27because they must still be involved in a tie-break scenario. There are

0:23:27 > 0:23:3116 permutations of what can happen with the result in this final

0:23:31 > 0:23:37session, none of them involve an elimination from Great Britain. If

0:23:37 > 0:23:41they end up in a tie-break, there are different versions as to what

0:23:41 > 0:23:47that could be. One of the most likely is that they would face

0:23:47 > 0:23:53Switzerland, which would be a tough match. To update you with things

0:23:53 > 0:24:00elsewhere, as we watch highlights of the first five ends, Canada against

0:24:00 > 0:24:05Denmark, it is expected that, double qualified winning that match. Sweden

0:24:05 > 0:24:10are suffering at the moment at the hands of Norway, 6-2. Norway cannot

0:24:10 > 0:24:15qualify, Sweden are top of the table, so that does not affect Great

0:24:15 > 0:24:21Britain. The match that is definitely significant, Korea versus

0:24:21 > 0:24:30Japan. Korea winning would help the cause. That is tied at 3-3. I was

0:24:30 > 0:24:33reading that Matt Hamilton, he only grows the moustache during the

0:24:33 > 0:24:40season. Apparently his wife hates it and he shaved it off again when the

0:24:40 > 0:24:44curling season finishes.He says he likes it. I think he says it gives

0:24:44 > 0:24:50some character than somebody to remember. It is not really doing it

0:24:50 > 0:25:00for me!He is a bit of a character, Manhattan -- Matt Hamilton. That is

0:25:00 > 0:25:04John Shuster, the US skip. Finally getting things right. A small error

0:25:04 > 0:25:11from Kyle Smith, the first of this match, the first real mistake. It

0:25:11 > 0:25:16just came at the wrong time, giving up three points. Any matches will

0:25:16 > 0:25:20you give up three points, you're just making life a little bit more

0:25:20 > 0:25:24difficult for yourself.Yes, we had an opportunity to set any weight in

0:25:24 > 0:25:29the house and make it difficult, but Stone placement is key because you

0:25:29 > 0:25:33did not want to leave it open and give USA a chance for the double,

0:25:33 > 0:25:41but it was really unfortunate overrunning, not my -- not by much.

0:25:41 > 0:25:50John Shuster came up with the goods at that end to score three. We heard

0:25:50 > 0:25:56Victor say at the break, take two, force one, the guys are playing

0:25:56 > 0:26:00really well. That they have to make sure they capitalise on any small

0:26:00 > 0:26:05mistake, and the USA are actually getting some of the shots we can

0:26:05 > 0:26:11capitalise on, so it is all still to play for.Yes, let's not forget the

0:26:11 > 0:26:15USA beat Canada and Switzerland in their previous two matches, which

0:26:15 > 0:26:19was an incredible turnaround. They looked to be pretty much out because

0:26:19 > 0:26:23Switzerland and Canada are two of the best teams here. It looked a

0:26:23 > 0:26:35tough finish USA. Not a great shot from Cammy Smith.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39tough finish USA. Not a great shot from Cammy That can be taken out.If

0:26:39 > 0:26:43it had been in the Freegard storm, you cannot remove any stones until

0:26:43 > 0:26:47the fourth has been played. With it being in the house, the USA have the

0:26:47 > 0:26:52opportunity to remove it, which does not help our situation. We need some

0:26:52 > 0:27:03guards to create two so we have something to hide behind.

0:27:11 > 0:27:15Not looking to remove any of these, we're just going to tap them back so

0:27:15 > 0:27:24we can put red stones in front of them and use them as protection.

0:27:31 > 0:27:35The coach was saying, you play well, when the shots, you will win the

0:27:35 > 0:27:42game. I did not hear anything around strategy. I just keep thinking, do

0:27:42 > 0:27:46not give them too many takeouts. It seems to be the shots they are

0:27:46 > 0:27:49making, try to get into a drawing game with them, but then you have to

0:27:49 > 0:27:57get your guards up and make them come round.

0:27:58 > 0:28:05come round. Were going to see them with some more rocks.The only thing

0:28:05 > 0:28:10I would contradict that with is not trying to rush into it too quickly.

0:28:10 > 0:28:17We're only to macro shots down, and if you wait until you get the

0:28:17 > 0:28:28opportunity for it, often it is the latter stages of the game, patients.

0:28:32 > 0:28:39Kyle Waddell has played really well so far in this match.Yes, his mum

0:28:39 > 0:28:47and dad are out here watching it. Has two brothers are left at home,

0:28:47 > 0:28:52probably watching this morning. His grandparents will be watching as

0:28:52 > 0:28:58well. A real curling family.

0:29:11 > 0:29:17You're seeing a much bigger swing this morning on the ice and that has

0:29:17 > 0:29:25almost come through the other side. Matt Hamilton can play an intern

0:29:25 > 0:29:26take out.

0:29:32 > 0:29:41-- in-turn take out. Just came through the gap.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44through the gap. He would have preferred to stick in there. I do

0:29:44 > 0:29:51not think he will be too bothered. He did not want to sit on the nose

0:29:51 > 0:30:00either. Another opportunity for us to utilise the high yellow of the

0:30:00 > 0:30:07USA.

0:30:11 > 0:30:16So, this one has enough running of its own. Often, if the weight is

0:30:16 > 0:30:20coming off it, you can see Cammy trying to sweep and pushed closer to

0:30:20 > 0:30:27the centre. A reasonable attempt. Just sat high for such a long time

0:30:27 > 0:30:32and the guys didn't want to sweep early. Sweeping of course does

0:30:32 > 0:30:36several things to a stone, it can take it further if both guys are

0:30:36 > 0:30:42sleeping, and you can also, depending on which way the stone is

0:30:42 > 0:30:51turning, you can sweep it one way to make it cold more, and then -- make

0:30:51 > 0:31:00it more curled, as well.

0:31:01 > 0:31:06So far, this end not quite developing in which they would like,

0:31:06 > 0:31:12great Britain.You often find this, the USA don't have a hammer but they

0:31:12 > 0:31:16have control of the end and because Britain are trying to create

0:31:16 > 0:31:23something and not get it their way, USA are able to tap the stones out,

0:31:23 > 0:31:28three stones in the house now.That keeps giving them options, there's

0:31:28 > 0:31:36an opportunity to get behind that front yellow. Just got chance. A bit

0:31:36 > 0:31:49flat. In all of these shots, they're not horrendous, just not right.

0:31:52 > 0:31:59That is the option that you just heard, they probably don't want the

0:31:59 > 0:32:04chance given to blank this end. Thomas Muirhead playing third.

0:32:04 > 0:32:07There's cheering in the crowd, there's much going on Korea and

0:32:07 > 0:32:16Japan. They have got the hammer and they are in the sixth, Korea.

0:32:25 > 0:32:32Going to have another go. Just having another look at this, Kyle

0:32:32 > 0:32:36Smith.

0:32:40 > 0:32:48Yeah, they really need to sit in here, rely on the shot after this.

0:32:48 > 0:32:54Yes, we're losing out on areas to hide behind. Even if the guys get a

0:32:54 > 0:32:59nice hit an roll in here, because it's so close to the yellow, the USA

0:32:59 > 0:33:02can to stride piano straight back onto the top of it.Come out the

0:33:02 > 0:33:08other side.-- the USA can just get their yellow straight back on the

0:33:08 > 0:33:13top of it. It could be in our favour if the USA hit that and fit out

0:33:13 > 0:33:18there, then the two yellow are at the top of the house and we can pull

0:33:18 > 0:33:26one behind it.

0:33:43 > 0:33:51Duluth, Minnesota, the Duluth curling club, these guys are from.

0:33:51 > 0:33:55John Shuster, an all-time great American curling, fourth Olympics

0:33:55 > 0:34:03for him. It's a unique achievement, he won a medal in Italy in 2006.

0:34:12 > 0:34:16This end has certainly not gone Britain's way here and Kyle Smith is

0:34:16 > 0:34:21a real job on. There are three US stones, his last draw in the

0:34:21 > 0:34:25previous end was way too heavy. He needs to be much better here, got to

0:34:25 > 0:34:28be incredibly accurate.

0:34:31 > 0:34:40Hopes for a little bit of a mistake after this.Got to make sure they

0:34:41 > 0:34:46after this.Got to make sure they do not over curl here, wants to be

0:34:46 > 0:34:56fully near that house, if it goes and over curls, they could be a

0:34:56 > 0:35:02space where he can ship it out. The fourth that is open, everything is

0:35:02 > 0:35:07on the one side.It actually looks all right for weight but it's going

0:35:07 > 0:35:13to start pulling across quite heavily. Around that front yellow.

0:35:13 > 0:35:22Come and tucked in right on that, needs to get in.That's a good shot.

0:35:22 > 0:35:31Nice effort.Might be able to just see an edge of it.Just use that

0:35:31 > 0:35:37yellow at the top to remove that. And fourth Great Britain to take

0:35:37 > 0:35:46one. -- force Great Britain.

0:35:46 > 0:35:52Well, it's not the two that the coach said.But it depends

0:35:52 > 0:36:00whether...Keep them close, if they get one, it keeps USA within

0:36:00 > 0:36:02touching distance.John Shuster has to make the shot and we have seen a

0:36:02 > 0:36:07couple of times where he's got one shot and not the other. This could

0:36:07 > 0:36:18be the same opportunity. He's got it. I was hoping!I just think the

0:36:18 > 0:36:23takeout, I know I keep saying this, but you keep giving him them, he's

0:36:23 > 0:36:28going to make them. He seems so much more couple playing this shots. He

0:36:28 > 0:36:34is 56% on a draw and I know that was straightforward.That was the only

0:36:34 > 0:36:44shot...Absolutely, but if we keep doing that, he'll be fine.Each time

0:36:44 > 0:36:52he makes these shots, his confidence grows.Well, he's missed two or

0:36:52 > 0:36:56three draws, identikit going to miss them. It's important that -- I don't

0:36:56 > 0:37:01think he's going to miss them.The guys are really having to work this

0:37:01 > 0:37:08hard. Head down and keep going. I think you've got the whole of the

0:37:08 > 0:37:16rich to work with. Just for the one. Good effort. Very good effort for

0:37:16 > 0:37:25the sleepers. Cammy Smith and Kyle Waddell. Thomas Muirhead watching

0:37:25 > 0:37:29and Kyle Smith. They get one, not the two they would have liked. But

0:37:29 > 0:37:37it produces the deficit. USA lead 5-4 after six ends, four to go. A

0:37:37 > 0:37:43win and they go through to the semifinals. Lose and they have to

0:37:43 > 0:37:49wait and see what their fate is, as far as the tie-breakers, they could

0:37:49 > 0:37:59still qualify depending on results al swear. -- elsewhere.

0:38:07 > 0:38:11If they lose, they are definitely in the tie-break scenario, there is no

0:38:11 > 0:38:18combination of results which result in an qualifying by right.

0:38:21 > 0:38:26in an qualifying by right. In all of those tie-break combinations,

0:38:26 > 0:38:31possible tie-break combinations, the most likely scenario is that they

0:38:31 > 0:38:36would play Switzerland. Either in an outright competition to see who

0:38:36 > 0:38:39comes forth, and whose fifth, or on a tie-break for third and fourth

0:38:39 > 0:38:45which could involve four teams.

0:38:45 > 0:38:55Cheering happening. I'll give you a score update. That end hasn't quite

0:38:55 > 0:39:03finished. What I can see is that Korea are lying three, with a stone

0:39:03 > 0:39:07left. They have the hammer as well in that one. Could even pick up

0:39:07 > 0:39:15four. Canada are leading as expected against Denmark, 8-2. Canada look as

0:39:15 > 0:39:19though they're through. What they need to do to make sure they

0:39:19 > 0:39:23qualify. Britain have a lot of work to do.

0:39:27 > 0:39:35Already got a garden, just moving that. Going to hang in there.There

0:39:35 > 0:39:39are just playing that pic shot, quite happy with that. He would have

0:39:39 > 0:39:42liked to have rolled that out the free space outside the house, which

0:39:42 > 0:39:47is still in play.

0:39:54 > 0:40:01You heard me say that Korea could take four, you can probably tell by

0:40:01 > 0:40:08the cheering that that's exactly what's happened. So Korea are doing

0:40:08 > 0:40:13great Britain a big favour, I'm not sure if it will change things that

0:40:13 > 0:40:19much, it means that Japan, if they were to lose that much, they could

0:40:19 > 0:40:30be out of qualification contention, depending on results.

0:40:30 > 0:40:32depending on results. And then grow Britain would be playing sitting. A

0:40:32 > 0:40:36little drop of the brush but it didn't touch the -- then Great

0:40:36 > 0:40:40Britain would be playing Switzerland. The little drop of the

0:40:40 > 0:40:47brush but it didn't cut stone. Just caught it by the merest fraction,

0:40:47 > 0:40:57that goes through. He was trying another little tick shot there.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00Unfortunately because you need to put the weight on it, if you don't

0:41:00 > 0:41:04connect with the stone at all, you will run through.Gave that every

0:41:04 > 0:41:13effort.A bit of a Scandinavian party going on for almost. Nothing

0:41:13 > 0:41:20to celebrate, they decided to shake hands very early. Sweden have had

0:41:20 > 0:41:26enough, they have been beaten by Norway. Sweden though they are

0:41:26 > 0:41:32through, they have decided that they are out of this match. Sony Norway

0:41:32 > 0:41:41win, a bit of pride for them. That's the last of the trousers. Might not

0:41:41 > 0:41:50see them again. Because he's in his mid-40s, not likely be back.I think

0:41:50 > 0:41:54they are verging to the end of their career, maybe we have to ask them if

0:41:54 > 0:41:59we can have a pair of their fancy pants.You are welcome to them.I

0:41:59 > 0:42:07think I can carry them off quite well.That one over, he nearly got

0:42:07 > 0:42:11that outside one as well. Britain still sitting with two there. All

0:42:11 > 0:42:23opened elbow. -- all open now, though.

0:42:23 > 0:42:29though. Kyle Waddell trying to put the card back in place. -- trying to

0:42:29 > 0:42:36put them guard back in place. That red on the left might come into play

0:42:36 > 0:42:38later on.

0:42:52 > 0:42:56Nice guard thrown by Kyle Waddell, right on the centre line, or just

0:42:56 > 0:43:01about. So the USA will remove that. Don't want that hanging around, that

0:43:01 > 0:43:06makes their life more difficult. Try and live in the US on how to --

0:43:06 > 0:43:13limit US to one, like Eve Muirhead against Canada today, she ended up

0:43:13 > 0:43:20picking the hammer up in the eighth, she got two in the eighth, forced

0:43:20 > 0:43:29one in the night, two in the tense, textbook stuff.

0:43:34 > 0:43:37Jubilation everywhere. The guys here have got a lot of work to do,

0:43:37 > 0:43:43though. Still very much in this. So Thomas Muirhead, the younger brother

0:43:43 > 0:43:48of Eve Muirhead.

0:43:58 > 0:44:03So just hoping to sit outside of the house here, right on that centre

0:44:03 > 0:44:06line, if possible. You can see the guys keeping an eye on the weight

0:44:06 > 0:44:16and line.That's another good shot. At least they're putting in the

0:44:16 > 0:44:24guards, hitting the spot, looking at whether to run that back away. Still

0:44:24 > 0:44:29think he's keen on getting rid of that one out on the wing.He is

0:44:29 > 0:44:35trying, because the run backs, he's try to get a corner out that way.

0:44:35 > 0:44:46No. Almost missing that one, catching that a little thin.

0:44:49 > 0:44:57A little sigh of exasperation. Well, whatever he was asking John, the

0:44:57 > 0:45:04microphone switched to the British team. And another guard being asked

0:45:04 > 0:45:08of Thomas Muirhead.

0:45:14 > 0:45:18I don't think you'll try, I think you'll try and run this back this

0:45:18 > 0:45:24time. A bit closer.Thomas's that, being left at home, Gordon, to look

0:45:24 > 0:45:30after the sheep. They are sheep farmers, Thomas and Glenn.He'll be

0:45:30 > 0:45:36up already.Yes, I think it's lambing time as well. And Gordon is

0:45:36 > 0:45:39playing in the Scottish senior Championships this week, I think

0:45:39 > 0:45:46they start today or tomorrow. So unreal curling family.Tyler George

0:45:46 > 0:45:54trying to get this one right. It's hanging out there. Just coming

0:45:54 > 0:45:59around little bit.

0:46:00 > 0:46:06Wade he went for the other one!That is why. We are so used to seeing him

0:46:06 > 0:46:13taking the guard off, and watching from the send instead of watching

0:46:13 > 0:46:17the screen, so you probably guessed what was going on! Rolls out a

0:46:17 > 0:46:21little. Kyle Smith would love to go back the other way, rollback under

0:46:21 > 0:46:31the guard, which they have left out the.The USA have the opportunity of

0:46:31 > 0:46:35seeing the shot in the house. The high guard that Great Britain put on

0:46:35 > 0:46:42was not covering the entire short. Again, and opportunity for Kyle

0:46:42 > 0:46:49Smith to catch the storm and roll into the centre.

0:46:52 > 0:46:58into the centre. Cammy trying to help it into the centre.A pretty

0:46:58 > 0:47:05good shot by Kyle Smith.

0:47:19 > 0:47:33That is their word of the week, a wee hair. A wee hair more.

0:47:35 > 0:47:38John Shuster, he knows his team have the opportunity to keep their

0:47:38 > 0:47:48Olympic hopes alive. They are leading Great Britain 5-4. A more

0:47:48 > 0:47:54delicate shot required from the USA skip.He has played a lighter

0:47:54 > 0:47:59weight.

0:48:04 > 0:48:16weight.He does not hang around. Forcing one is what they needed to

0:48:16 > 0:48:29do minimum.Ahead can stick is all that is required.

0:48:29 > 0:48:33that is required.You get the feeling at this end at the USA just

0:48:33 > 0:48:39tried to stay calm and say, OK, we will take one. Not try to do

0:48:39 > 0:48:42anything silly or be too adventurous, which they maybe were a

0:48:42 > 0:48:48little earlier.

0:48:57 > 0:49:01Just touching the forfeit should be straightforward for John Shuster to

0:49:01 > 0:49:06remove it and sit there for the one. The British stone on the other side

0:49:06 > 0:49:18means they cannot blank the other end. It ended up being a useful

0:49:24 > 0:49:27stolen in that effect. Britain have the hammer in the eighth and tenth

0:49:27 > 0:49:35round. They will have to find their best shots, but this has been there

0:49:35 > 0:49:42a better end, they have played nicely.

0:49:55 > 0:50:01John Shuster hoping they can extend the lead, leading 6-4 after seven

0:50:01 > 0:50:07ends. There is still all to play for. In a match which victory means

0:50:07 > 0:50:10so much to Great Britain. The men were not necessarily fancied so much

0:50:10 > 0:50:16to make it to the semifinals, they would not have said that to

0:50:16 > 0:50:21themselves. They came here thinking they had a great chance. They will

0:50:21 > 0:50:25be very disappointed if they do not manage to clinch this. It would not

0:50:25 > 0:50:29be the end, they would not be eliminated if they lose, they will

0:50:29 > 0:50:36have to come back for the tie-break session tomorrow.

0:50:37 > 0:50:42session tomorrow. If they -- who they play is undecided, but at the

0:50:42 > 0:50:53moment it would be against Switzerland.

0:50:58 > 0:51:07Two here in the eighth end. If they can force one in the ninth and get

0:51:07 > 0:51:13two in the tenth... That Azizi

0:51:13 > 0:51:23two in the tenth... That Azizi -- that is easy said!If we can pick up

0:51:23 > 0:51:27two, try to force the one, have the hammer going down the last, that

0:51:27 > 0:51:34would be textbook stuff we're looking for.

0:51:42 > 0:51:52If Great Britain win this, does it help Japan? I'm trying to work it

0:51:52 > 0:51:56out. No, it wouldn't, it would mean Switzerland would qualify with Great

0:51:56 > 0:52:03Britain, if Britain when the and Japan lose. Sadly, I see sadly, that

0:52:03 > 0:52:07would mean Great Britain play Canada in the semifinal. Not getting ahead

0:52:07 > 0:52:12of ourselves at the moment! If you finish third or fourth he will play

0:52:12 > 0:52:19Canada or Sweden.Both games will be tough! All games in the play-off

0:52:19 > 0:52:26stages are really tough.If you're just getting up to us this morning,

0:52:26 > 0:52:31good morning. The great news already is the British women have qualified

0:52:31 > 0:52:38for the semifinal, who will play Sweden in their semifinal. Canada

0:52:38 > 0:52:43have been knocked out, Great Britain beat them. Canada are always

0:52:43 > 0:52:46favourites to win a medal, they have never not won a medal in women's

0:52:46 > 0:52:50curling. They have gone out the competition by courtesy of the

0:52:50 > 0:52:55defeat to Great Britain. The men are trying to emulate the women, trying

0:52:55 > 0:53:00to secure their spot. A lot of work to do here. Corner guard has been

0:53:00 > 0:53:10put up by Cammy Smith. The USA have come straight in with those.Cammy

0:53:10 > 0:53:18trying to play it controlled down here. He's looking for it to set on

0:53:18 > 0:53:26the nose. A little high.

0:53:26 > 0:53:33the nose. A little high. Slightly bounced to the side. And opportunity

0:53:33 > 0:53:43for an easy take out for the USA. They just need something to really

0:53:43 > 0:53:49go for them in this end. To try to get themselves going. They want to

0:53:49 > 0:53:57stay calm, and just to see there are chances for them to rest this away

0:53:57 > 0:54:04from the USA.

0:54:04 > 0:54:10from the USA. Biggest dollar corner guard being left at the moment. --

0:54:10 > 0:54:20there is still a corner guard being left at the moment.

0:54:25 > 0:54:32Probably about the same weight as the last.They are just not getting

0:54:32 > 0:54:39a little role. Stones width to the other side, sitting above that,

0:54:39 > 0:54:48would help.They've is cheering down the bottom end, come -- Canada

0:54:48 > 0:54:52shaking hands with Denmark. Denmark have finished bottom, but Canada

0:54:52 > 0:54:57have secured their place with six wins and three losses, even the

0:54:57 > 0:55:02three losses was unusual for them. One of them was to this team, which

0:55:02 > 0:55:06is what made things difficult for Great Britain because we are looking

0:55:06 > 0:55:18-- were looking at the USA and coming out with a win over Canada

0:55:18 > 0:55:24which kept their hopes alive, and they needed to win this. Canada got

0:55:24 > 0:55:28back on track and will sit in second place. Even if Great Britain win

0:55:28 > 0:55:33this, they will be behind Canada because Canada beat Great Britain in

0:55:33 > 0:55:39the round-robin.

0:55:46 > 0:55:55We are desperately trying hard to get little roles. Keep your head up!

0:55:55 > 0:56:03It is just fractions.

0:56:03 > 0:56:09The only thing I would say is that as the women got the last three

0:56:09 > 0:56:16ends, they were really making the shots play really well. And the

0:56:16 > 0:56:19chances came they really took them. At some point very soon, that is

0:56:19 > 0:56:35going to happen for the men as well. Very soon.Yes, I agree.

0:56:38 > 0:56:45So, another chance to hit and roll and use the card. Thomas Muirhead

0:56:45 > 0:56:52has to get it right this time.

0:56:52 > 0:57:01has to get it right this time. The Manitoba tuck is his delivery style.

0:57:01 > 0:57:07Curled a little bit at the end. It looked as though the line was good

0:57:07 > 0:57:16all the way down.I did try.

0:57:16 > 0:57:18all the way down.I did try. The problem with some of these shots as

0:57:18 > 0:57:24you do not want to overthrow them. If you do not get enough and

0:57:24 > 0:57:34roll-out, you have wasted it. The shooter is still in the house.

0:57:34 > 0:57:36shooter is still in the house.One here would not be disastrous but it

0:57:36 > 0:57:44makes the job harder.

0:57:49 > 0:57:52Whenever you get these stones hanging around when you're trying to

0:57:52 > 0:58:01get two, it makes the job a little more difficult. What was the call?

0:58:01 > 0:58:09To come round behind the guard. We have got it out there, we have to

0:58:09 > 0:58:16try to make it our friend.This is the first time they have really

0:58:16 > 0:58:23tried to come behind it without hitting something. Has Thomas

0:58:23 > 0:58:38Muirhead got on his drawing! -- his drawing

0:58:38 > 0:58:42drawing boots?It is not infer first, it is in for a second.

0:58:42 > 0:58:46Pressure on the USA.

0:58:58 > 0:59:06Portable get dead nose on this? Would do we want to put it if you

0:59:06 > 0:59:17doesn't have the double, so much to think about?!If we went here now,

0:59:17 > 0:59:26it makes the double... He has got to make the double.You do not like

0:59:26 > 0:59:36this?It's fine.

0:59:36 > 0:59:42this?It's fine.If he draws, we drop.Tyler George is saying that if

0:59:42 > 0:59:50he draws, we drop but

0:59:50 > 0:59:55he draws, we drop but you can... I think from a British perspective,

0:59:55 > 0:59:58and he's probably right, Tyler George, but you just keep thinking

0:59:58 > 1:00:15that John Shuster wanted to make the double. The drop

1:00:18 > 1:00:21double. The drop accuracy, -- one. Kyle Smith is doing better than the

1:00:21 > 1:00:28other skip. They still cannot make up their mind.I think I'm with

1:00:28 > 1:00:35Tyler George, they have got to get one in the back eight. Got to be

1:00:35 > 1:00:39making sure that if they want to force one here, they have to make

1:00:39 > 1:00:44sure they have a second shot.

1:00:44 > 1:00:59You heard him say he wants to go to nine, the zones are numbered. Seven,

1:00:59 > 1:01:03eight and nine out of other side of the button, so nine is at the back

1:01:03 > 1:01:10of the eight foot. Tucked in behind those two reds if he can. A bit of

1:01:10 > 1:01:22work to do. Just wants to leave it. He has placed that OK.

1:01:24 > 1:01:28He has placed that OK.So where does Kyle Waddell to put his? He wants

1:01:28 > 1:01:36the front row where does Kyle wants to put his? Who would love to tuck

1:01:36 > 1:01:44it behind the frontier, perhaps? -- the front yellow?I think you can

1:01:44 > 1:01:51freeze the front yellow. If you don't freeze it well, these guys are

1:01:51 > 1:01:56so good at picking shots out, they will just drown.

1:02:05 > 1:02:11Just go to roll it coming. He wants to roll across. I'd like to see a

1:02:11 > 1:02:19sitting shot here.I like freeze, but then I'm a woman!Let's hope

1:02:19 > 1:02:24it's the right choice of shot, so important to pick the right shot.

1:02:24 > 1:02:30And then execute it so well. It's going to be a bit of a tough one,

1:02:30 > 1:02:33we've seen this not really working for Great Britain at the moment.Is

1:02:33 > 1:02:47it past the guard? It's not!You're kidding! That's a bit of a... That's

1:02:47 > 1:02:51a shocker from Kyle Smith.He was 1 million miles away from getting that

1:02:51 > 1:02:59shot in the house.No wonder, the USA are sensing an opportunity to

1:02:59 > 1:03:05wrap this match up, possibly. What do they want to do? Great Britain

1:03:05 > 1:03:10have the hammer here. There's still an opportunity for Kyle Smith to get

1:03:10 > 1:03:18one.

1:03:18 > 1:03:27If we go here, he's got that.Bang, bang.Even if I just...

1:03:27 > 1:03:31Kyle Smith has thrown a couple of studies this evening which he will

1:03:31 > 1:03:37not want to see again, I'm sure. In terms of his Olympic campaign, he's

1:03:37 > 1:03:41been playing well, making the big shots in the right times. But not in

1:03:41 > 1:03:46this match.

1:03:47 > 1:03:58this match. 6-4, two down, got to get at least one here.OK, they're

1:03:58 > 1:04:09taking the safer option here. Tyler George was keen to forget about that

1:04:09 > 1:04:13red and draw one in and killed the game early but being too greedy can

1:04:13 > 1:04:17work against you so they're just looking to remove the red and roll

1:04:17 > 1:04:25across into the centre. It's closing down that forefoot for Kyle to draw

1:04:25 > 1:04:31too. He's looking for any weight of hitting the inside and rolling to

1:04:31 > 1:04:39the forefoot.

1:04:40 > 1:04:47It's a big shot for the US skip. He's done it well.He's played that

1:04:47 > 1:04:55well.He's done very well there. The USA sensing a massive opportunity

1:04:55 > 1:05:03here. There's four US stones in the house, just one left for Kyle Smith

1:05:03 > 1:05:09to deliver. He had a very poor shot with his previous one. And now he

1:05:09 > 1:05:15faces a very tough shots to even get one.If I'm being picky, that stone,

1:05:15 > 1:05:18he would have wanted to keep it to the right-hand side of the centre

1:05:18 > 1:05:24lane. But he has freed up a bit of the forefoot. He is still played a

1:05:24 > 1:05:31very good shot and Kyle Smith has to make this filly in the forefoot.He

1:05:31 > 1:05:37does, he's got a clear run into it but he can't for to make any

1:05:37 > 1:05:44mistakes here.

1:05:44 > 1:05:50Kyle Smith, then. To make sure that Great Britain get something out of

1:05:50 > 1:05:54his end to keep this match going. Because to give up one or two would

1:05:54 > 1:05:58make life very difficult indeed. So this needs to be very good.It's

1:05:58 > 1:06:04looking like. They're going to have to work this really hard, I doubt if

1:06:04 > 1:06:18they got the weight.Nowhere near. In fact that could be the match.

1:06:20 > 1:06:30I got you a good weight, I go to ten.I heard that comment, not sure

1:06:30 > 1:06:37that was needed, keep your hand in your pocket, was the message the

1:06:37 > 1:06:43USA, but that's the thing to do. The USA, then, come away with a victory

1:06:43 > 1:06:49which has been manufactured by Great Britain's bad play. A lot of

1:06:49 > 1:06:53mistakes creeping in at the end, never really got things going. They

1:06:53 > 1:06:58started a play, they were going well, had things going for them. But

1:06:58 > 1:07:07sadly...And going to say they were just, there were 20 little errors

1:07:07 > 1:07:11and that makes huge differences in this game. Kyle, a couple of shots

1:07:11 > 1:07:15where he was on finishing it off. All credit to the USA, they played

1:07:15 > 1:07:20very well, they would figure letters back into the game. -- they were not

1:07:20 > 1:07:25going to let us back into the game. The opportunity to guarantee a place

1:07:25 > 1:07:30in the semifinals has gone, it will be a tie-break match for Great

1:07:30 > 1:07:41Britain, it looks as though it could be against Switzerland, the final

1:07:41 > 1:07:45score finishing before the last two ends, the USA winning 10-4 over

1:07:45 > 1:07:46great Britain.

1:07:52 > 1:07:57A tough defeat for the men. Earlier on today, the women were on the ice,

1:07:57 > 1:08:01they knew that a win would put them straight through into the

1:08:01 > 1:08:08semifinals. It was a tough match for Eve Muirhead against the Canadians,

1:08:08 > 1:08:11the Canadians beat them four years ago in the semifinals. This is a

1:08:11 > 1:08:17different rink that had not been quite firing on all cylinders. Let's

1:08:17 > 1:08:22join Eve Muirhead in the final end where they had a hammer is the end

1:08:22 > 1:08:25not only to get themselves into the play-offs, but to put the Canadians

1:08:25 > 1:08:35out. High-pressure stuff, let's join Jackie Lockhart and Steve Cram.

1:08:35 > 1:08:40Great Britain will have to sit and watch and see how the results play

1:08:40 > 1:08:44out but there's every chance that these two will play other in the

1:08:44 > 1:08:47tie-break if Canada win their match against the leading athlete of

1:08:47 > 1:08:58Russia. -- the Olympic athlete of Russia. But they have been heavily

1:08:58 > 1:09:03defeated this morning, against Korea. But career have been superb,

1:09:03 > 1:09:13they scored nine in the first three ends

1:09:13 > 1:09:18ends against 08 Sweden look as if they about to

1:09:18 > 1:09:22ends against 08 Sweden look as if they about to

1:09:22 > 1:09:32Sweden have a chance later on to confirm.

1:09:32 > 1:09:38confirm. They will if they cannot win against China, that's confirmed.

1:09:38 > 1:09:48They will qualify, six wins. Beating China 8-4. The Switzerland and

1:09:48 > 1:09:56Denmark match doesn't matter. That defeat by Sweden over China, the

1:09:56 > 1:10:08defeat for China, means that they are no longer the competition.

1:10:11 > 1:10:18So the task is as it always is in terms of getting two here, they have

1:10:18 > 1:10:22put a straightforward forward guard on, they have got one in on the

1:10:22 > 1:10:28bottom.Canada have put a really high guard on, I think they wanted

1:10:28 > 1:10:35it much closer to the house. We have got a opportunity to move that. If

1:10:35 > 1:10:46we can play one to come round and tap and read at the back...

1:10:46 > 1:10:53tap and read at the back... They have had a good week so far.

1:10:54 > 1:10:57have had a good week so far.Trying to come in on top of the red. Nice

1:10:57 > 1:11:03shot from Lauren Gray. That's a good position, that yellow. I know you

1:11:03 > 1:11:10might be thinking, it's early stages of the end but a team that control

1:11:10 > 1:11:16around that forefoot, staying behind the team line. It's gone quiet in

1:11:16 > 1:11:27here now. There was a little clutch of Canadian flounced... Fans!, the

1:11:27 > 1:11:34last time you had a Philander? -- when was the last time you had a

1:11:34 > 1:11:41flan? But they outnumber the richest fans, they have been noisy all week.

1:11:41 > 1:11:52-- British bands. They are leading here. Joanne Courtney.She was a

1:11:52 > 1:11:59little light of weight there and

1:12:01 > 1:12:06little light of weight there and it has over curled.She has picked the

1:12:06 > 1:12:13wrong time to do that. It was her shot which allowed the initiative to

1:12:13 > 1:12:14go.

1:12:18 > 1:12:26They did recover from that shot of Joanne's Courtney, when even played

1:12:26 > 1:12:29the shots, but she shrugged when

1:12:38 > 1:12:41they want to bring this as far as they can.

1:12:41 > 1:12:49Still coming in. Still coming in. And just perhaps it off the side,

1:12:49 > 1:12:55and nice shot. Two yellows lined up. Good sweeping. Anna Sloan working

1:12:55 > 1:13:01very hard, breathing heavily. He said curling is not a physical

1:13:01 > 1:13:02sport?

1:13:18 > 1:13:25Nobody can question the commitment that these girls have put in today.

1:13:25 > 1:13:35Both these sides desperately wanting the win. But who wants it more?

1:13:36 > 1:13:40Let's watch this stone finish up.

1:13:44 > 1:13:49While the watching that one come in, the Swedish team have confirmed

1:13:49 > 1:13:58their participation in the semifinals, there was a nice little

1:13:58 > 1:14:03dance from the Swedish men, all dressed in yellow. Very happy, often

1:14:03 > 1:14:15our -- off to our right. She is trying to conjure up an opportunity.

1:14:15 > 1:14:20Two in there.

1:14:32 > 1:14:41Do you know what? I think I like this better. Pack.So, both teams

1:14:41 > 1:14:45have used their time-outs, both of the skips have got to choose their

1:14:45 > 1:14:51shots, plenty of time but they have got to be assertive. Pick the right

1:14:51 > 1:14:55shot and as you say, it then about making sure that the execution is

1:14:55 > 1:15:02spot on.

1:15:02 > 1:15:07That result for Sweden, just very quickly to confirm, means China

1:15:07 > 1:15:13cannot qualify.

1:15:26 > 1:15:40That is exactly what she wanted.One in the button and two just above it.

1:15:42 > 1:15:52Important to keep the shooter here. You heard she said.I think I would

1:15:52 > 1:15:59have been tempted to go for the other.This will be even a British

1:15:59 > 1:16:08stone. But she said she wants the shooter to stay on top.

1:16:18 > 1:16:31What a mistake from Emma Miskew. She finally lives up to her name.

1:16:31 > 1:16:42finally lives up to her name. Cannot believe it.

1:16:42 > 1:16:51I might have been tempted to take the other

1:16:51 > 1:16:56the other yellow, take both of them, but with kissing the Reds strictly

1:16:56 > 1:17:09across, you have closed off that option -- kissing the reds straight

1:17:09 > 1:17:15across you have closed off the option. That was Eve Muirhead's mum,

1:17:15 > 1:17:26and Kyle Waddell's mum.

1:17:26 > 1:17:41I'm getting hot in here.I think that is a song.

1:17:44 > 1:17:48Emma Miskew did not play a good shot last time, but a chance to move

1:17:48 > 1:17:57things around a little bit.She will try to drive it into the pack.

1:18:17 > 1:18:23She is sitting on top, but that is a clutch of four stones. Still above

1:18:23 > 1:18:32the T-line as well. Things are looking difficult for Rachel Homan.

1:18:32 > 1:18:35At this moment in time I think she needs a helicopter.

1:18:35 > 1:18:38LAUGHTER

1:18:43 > 1:18:46Protection front? It kind of goes against the grain,

1:18:46 > 1:18:49you have a hammer, you do not want to put things in front, but are well

1:18:49 > 1:18:57at the moment.

1:18:57 > 1:19:01at the moment. -- they are sitting so well at the moment.How do we get

1:19:01 > 1:19:06here?

1:19:06 > 1:19:13here?Like that?There is nothing on this turn.Remember, we always have

1:19:13 > 1:19:20the last stone here, we can close it up and make it really difficult for

1:19:20 > 1:19:30Canada.

1:19:34 > 1:19:40Come on. She just wants to have a look.

1:19:45 > 1:19:49look. Whispering.That is the opposite of the Canadians, because

1:19:49 > 1:19:52they would be happily telling you what the opposition could and could

1:19:52 > 1:20:02not do.

1:20:07 > 1:20:16Anna isn't sure. She knows where Eve wants it, but I am not sure Anna is

1:20:16 > 1:20:21comfortable with which way to come in.She wants to come in at the

1:20:21 > 1:20:26clockwise rotation, as we are looking, from the left-hand side.

1:20:26 > 1:20:30She cannot get to where she wants coming the other way. I'm not sure

1:20:30 > 1:20:41she's comfortable playing this.

1:20:49 > 1:21:07Three would be good.They want the angle from the red.

1:21:09 > 1:21:13Actually that is not bad because of the way that the red are sitting off

1:21:13 > 1:21:25the said. Rachel Homan is fighting for her life in terms of the Olympic

1:21:25 > 1:21:30tournament for her team and the nation. They have never, ever not

1:21:30 > 1:21:36made it through to the semifinals. She has two stones left. Four

1:21:36 > 1:21:43British stones between the first Canadian stone and the button. She

1:21:43 > 1:21:46has no other option than to move the stones around and hope things fall

1:21:46 > 1:21:53nicely for her. Eve Muirhead still has two to come. Rachel Homan with

1:21:53 > 1:21:55real intent.

1:22:04 > 1:22:11That is outweighed. She sprung two of them. Even the top yellow Fern

1:22:11 > 1:22:19Britton, the fact that she has left that, that can be tapped in. Still

1:22:19 > 1:22:25protecting those two.

1:22:25 > 1:22:36protecting those two. Canada are allowing three, third shot.

1:22:39 > 1:22:43It has gone very quiet in the arena. All trying to listen to the

1:22:43 > 1:22:54discussion.If she comes here, she is forcing it. What about a small

1:22:54 > 1:22:58bump on the six?I think Eve Muirhead is conscious that she does

1:22:58 > 1:23:02not want to allow a draw to even get in there. Do not give her the chance

1:23:02 > 1:23:06of the drop. If she wants to move some storms around, fine, you have

1:23:06 > 1:23:12plenty of yellows, but do not allow her to draw around the outside and,

1:23:12 > 1:23:25in.She would be struggling to sit shot. The girls have chosen to come

1:23:25 > 1:23:29from the right-hand side -- not from the right-hand side, but across the

1:23:29 > 1:23:35left.

1:23:49 > 1:23:53She will want this to come right into the 8-foot. That also takes up

1:23:53 > 1:23:57the draw for Rachel Homan and forces her to try to play a triple take

1:23:57 > 1:24:04out.

1:24:04 > 1:24:11out.And Eve would still have it at the other side. It needs to come as

1:24:11 > 1:24:15far as she can. They are going to have to sweep this hard. It doesn't

1:24:15 > 1:24:17have much on it.

1:24:26 > 1:24:31There was a back red on there as well. If she tries the triple take

1:24:31 > 1:24:38out, the chances of not hitting the take out Aslam.

1:24:39 > 1:24:46take out Aslam. She wants to draw in here.

1:24:56 > 1:25:02Shook at the guard on the way to. She obviously doesn't want to catch

1:25:02 > 1:25:11the British yellow that Eve Muirhead has just played. She's giving it

1:25:11 > 1:25:16plenty of ayes. She has the come around. She's still going to get

1:25:16 > 1:25:24very close with this.She should maybe have played the triple.

1:25:24 > 1:25:30Everyone has their hands on the heart at the moment.This is it, no

1:25:30 > 1:25:36more chances. The last stone for Canada. Last chance for Rachel

1:25:36 > 1:25:47Homan. Eve Muirhead is watching. Her heart rate will be high.

1:25:48 > 1:25:53heart rate will be high. Just trying to survive.

1:25:54 > 1:26:11to survive.This is to put Britain in a play-off place.

1:26:11 > 1:26:12in a play-off place.It is starting to turn.

1:26:16 > 1:26:23Great Britain are going to win this. The handshakes mean that Great

1:26:23 > 1:26:27Britain have won this match! A superb performance from Eve Muirhead

1:26:27 > 1:26:33and her team.

1:26:35 > 1:26:39and her team. Anna Sloan struggled through the match. But in the end

1:26:39 > 1:26:41they all came together. Brilliantly led by Eve Muirhead with some

1:26:41 > 1:26:45stunning shots.

1:26:45 > 1:26:47led by Eve Muirhead with some stunning shots. Congratulations,

1:26:47 > 1:26:54you're through to the semifinal. Job done?Yes, dilated, we knew it would

1:26:54 > 1:26:58be a tough game against Canada, but we came out and played a great game

1:26:58 > 1:27:03to book a spot in the semifinal. That was our first goal, we are

1:27:03 > 1:27:08delighted.How about the jump in the air?I can't actually remember that!

1:27:08 > 1:27:14When you are in the zone, you forget about the small things. I am glad I

1:27:14 > 1:27:19landed safely on my feet!You were struggling earlier, but got it

1:27:19 > 1:27:24together for the last few ends?I definitely was, and the girls kept

1:27:24 > 1:27:28with me and stuck with me and they were really patient, and that was

1:27:28 > 1:27:33probably the story of the game. We know that we finished strong, thank

1:27:33 > 1:27:39God I turned up the last couple of ends, but patience and staying in

1:27:39 > 1:27:43the moment. That is what we did out there and we came through.How tense

1:27:43 > 1:27:50was it out there, Vicky? Canada are one of the main rivals, they would

1:27:50 > 1:27:54have been one of the favourites. It was getting a little nervous at

1:27:54 > 1:28:01times?Yes, but we spoke about that in the pre-game, and we focused on

1:28:01 > 1:28:08our shots one at a time, and they all came together nicely.Lauren, we

1:28:08 > 1:28:11always talk about one game at a time, but you're now into the

1:28:11 > 1:28:16semifinals, how do you prepare for that?It is a new part of the

1:28:16 > 1:28:18competition and we will regroup for the semifinals and try to come out

1:28:18 > 1:28:23as strong as we can, see who we are playing and see how we frame it and

1:28:23 > 1:28:31try to come out strong and build on the last performance.Eve

1:28:31 > 1:28:31try to come out strong and build on the last performance.Eve, it is a

1:28:31 > 1:28:37massive shock, the women in Canada have never not made a medal at the

1:28:37 > 1:28:45Olympics, how much is that going forward?We knew the field was

1:28:45 > 1:28:50strong, there are ten teams capable of getting a medal, and each team,

1:28:50 > 1:28:55we went out there and played their own game and concentrated on

1:28:55 > 1:28:58ourselves. I understand how you think Canada are one of the top

1:28:58 > 1:29:02nations, but as a team, we concentrated on our performance and

1:29:02 > 1:29:06we will take whoever we have in the semifinals.There is a pretty good

1:29:06 > 1:29:13chance that it might be Sweden. How would you fancy that?We're open to

1:29:13 > 1:29:18any team. We had a really close game with Sweden in the round-robin, and

1:29:18 > 1:29:28we always have close games when we play against Anna.And no more

1:29:28 > 1:29:36jumping up and down on the ice!I promise!

1:29:38 > 1:29:46It was tense stuff, I was jumping up and then! A disappointing 10-4

1:29:46 > 1:29:49defeat for the men's team against the USA, which means they will have

1:29:49 > 1:29:54to come through another match before securing their place in the

1:29:54 > 1:29:54semifinals.

1:29:54 > 1:29:55securing their place in the semifinals. Kyle Smith is with Steve

1:29:55 > 1:30:01Cram. You must be frustrated, the opportunity to get to the semifinal

1:30:01 > 1:30:09has gone.Yes, just a couple of chances we did not convert one,

1:30:09 > 1:30:15disappointing performance.Why do you think that happened?Not sure,

1:30:15 > 1:30:20sometimes it is just not your day, and we struggle to create anything,

1:30:20 > 1:30:28we got a couple of fortunate steels, but did not make enough of their

1:30:28 > 1:30:36simpler shots to put pressure on. Give up a couple of simple shots, a

1:30:36 > 1:30:40simple two and a simple three.The key is to come back, tie-break match

1:30:40 > 1:30:45against Switzerland, you beat them in the round-robin. All still to

1:30:45 > 1:30:50play for.Definitely, almost the same situation, we have two when to

1:30:50 > 1:30:58get to the semifinals. -- we have two when.As skip, you win together

1:30:58 > 1:31:03and lose together, what will you do tonight?We will talk about the game

1:31:03 > 1:31:06and what we could have done differently and what we felt went

1:31:06 > 1:31:13right and wrong. There are a few things to discuss.

1:31:14 > 1:31:18Good luck tomorrow. This is what it means come here are

1:31:18 > 1:31:25the final standings after the nine round-robin matches. Canada, Sweden

1:31:25 > 1:31:30and the USA head through, Team GB and Switzerland play in a play-off

1:31:30 > 1:31:34match to determine who will take the fourth spot in the semifinal and

1:31:34 > 1:31:39that match will be played at midnight tonight. That's a late run

1:31:39 > 1:31:43for you back at home but it will be another tense day at the Curling

1:31:43 > 1:31:47Centre. Someone who has had to live through it all today

1:31:47 > 1:31:48Centre. Someone who has had to live through it all today is Jackie

1:31:48 > 1:31:53Lockhart who has been part of the commentary team. I'm delighted to

1:31:53 > 1:31:56see her now. We will start with the men, really tough defeat, what went

1:31:56 > 1:32:02wrong today?They just didn't bring their A-game to to that game. They

1:32:02 > 1:32:07had chances but they weren't making the opportunities with them and poor

1:32:07 > 1:32:12Kyle, he had such a disappointing draw in the fifth end where he gave

1:32:12 > 1:32:17up the chance and the USA got three. And after that, they were chasing

1:32:17 > 1:32:21all the time and it wasn't working for them. I guess the guys have done

1:32:21 > 1:32:24the right thing, they were very fortunate that whether they lost or

1:32:24 > 1:32:28won the game, they were still in with a chance. We have to place it

1:32:28 > 1:32:34on and in the tie-breaker and that isn't going to be an easy game. --

1:32:34 > 1:32:40we have two plates Switzerland. The guys will, and regroup and look at

1:32:40 > 1:32:46the strategy and hopefully we will be all right.Everyone has already

1:32:46 > 1:32:48played each other by the time you get this stage, Switzerland where

1:32:48 > 1:32:54Kyle

1:32:54 > 1:33:00Kyle Smith's first match, how much does that count heading back into

1:33:00 > 1:33:05facing them tomorrow?Probably not much, this is a completely different

1:33:05 > 1:33:08game, a knockout stage, when progresses and loser gets nothing.

1:33:08 > 1:33:13That's a difficult position to be in but it's a good position to be in

1:33:13 > 1:33:19because he got to give it to all. Let's hope the guys can board

1:33:19 > 1:33:23themselves back from this defeat and we can see a strong performance.We

1:33:23 > 1:33:26saw them bounce back from that defeat against South Korea in the

1:33:26 > 1:33:32group stages so let's hope we can do that again. It means if they do get

1:33:32 > 1:33:35through, they have to play their semifinal on the same day so it

1:33:35 > 1:33:39would be a massive day for Kyle Smith and his rink.Yes, they have

1:33:39 > 1:33:45to rest and make sure they have the full strength for them. Let's hope

1:33:45 > 1:33:50it's a two-game date because it would be great for Great Britain.

1:33:50 > 1:33:56Let's have a look at Eve Muirhead's rink, that was a particularly tense

1:33:56 > 1:34:00final end, what a great win.I'm always very confident, I talked

1:34:00 > 1:34:06about patients during the game. And her team always come good in the

1:34:06 > 1:34:13last three ends, and that's exactly what Eve did today. She had to pull

1:34:13 > 1:34:17off a cracker of a shot in the ninth to make it difficult for Rachel

1:34:17 > 1:34:21Homan but I think she missed opportunity, she should have taken

1:34:21 > 1:34:27an easy double that she had an opportunity and she didn't and she

1:34:27 > 1:34:31gave the game to us. But having said that, Great Britain played a

1:34:31 > 1:34:38fantastic last three ends.It looks like Sweden next. We have all seen

1:34:38 > 1:34:46how devastated they were three -- four years ago to not get through,

1:34:46 > 1:34:50how much will that affect them today in the play-off match?We know that

1:34:50 > 1:34:53Eve wants nothing more than that gold medal, and we have talked about

1:34:53 > 1:35:01that semifinal game and how strong they have to be. She's coming up

1:35:01 > 1:35:04against Sweden, they have been huge rivals over the last few years. I

1:35:04 > 1:35:12like to think that Eve has got an idea of what it's ever happened, and

1:35:12 > 1:35:18she has got Anna's number, the fact that Eve lost the semifinal will be

1:35:18 > 1:35:21playing on her mind but I'm sure the psychologist they have had will be

1:35:21 > 1:35:24working on this. They will be positive because they are peaking at

1:35:24 > 1:35:30the right time and sport is all about timing.You rest up as well as

1:35:30 > 1:35:34our athletes because you have some more drama to come in the Curling

1:35:34 > 1:35:36Centre. Thanks the joining us.

1:35:53 > 1:35:57If you're just joining us, good morning from day 12 here in

1:35:57 > 1:36:00Pyeongchang and we have already had some drama so far today. Here's a

1:36:00 > 1:36:08look at the headlines. In the women's downhill, Sofia

1:36:08 > 1:36:15Goggia made history by becoming Italy's e-mail downhill in a big

1:36:15 > 1:36:18champion. 2010 gold medallist and pre-event favourite Lindsey Vonn had

1:36:18 > 1:36:26to settle for bronze. Canada's Brady Lamont took gold in

1:36:26 > 1:36:32the men's's ski cross competition which delivered its usual

1:36:32 > 1:36:36excitement. It was the Russia show as the figure

1:36:36 > 1:36:41skating women's singles competition got an away. Alena Saget over the

1:36:41 > 1:36:48dues the world record -- Alena Saget over beating Jenny

1:36:54 > 1:36:58women booked their spot in the Olympic semifinals, a victory which

1:36:58 > 1:37:01came in the added bonus of eliminating their opponents from the

1:37:01 > 1:37:07tournament. A disappointing 10-4 defeat against the USA means the

1:37:07 > 1:37:14Great Britain men will have to win a play-off match tomorrow to qualify

1:37:14 > 1:37:17for the semifinals, that match is against Switzerland.

1:37:17 > 1:37:22And in an incredibly high-quality convocation GB snowboarder Billy

1:37:22 > 1:37:29Morgan bag a spot in Saturday's big air final. Carlos Garcia Knight

1:37:29 > 1:37:36topped the pile from New Zealand. There was lots of excitement today

1:37:36 > 1:37:42ahead of the women's downhill because Lindsey Vonn is back. Gold

1:37:42 > 1:37:45medallist in Vancouver eight years ago, she missed Sochi four years ago

1:37:45 > 1:37:52with an injury and was aiming to regain her title in Pyeongchang in

1:37:52 > 1:37:58what is likely to be her last Olympic games. Mikaela Shiffrin

1:37:58 > 1:38:04decided not to race in the downhill ahead of the combined so her biggest

1:38:04 > 1:38:08rival was likely to be Sofia Goggia, who had already won on this track in

1:38:08 > 1:38:12a World Cup event in March. It all comes down to one run so let's see

1:38:12 > 1:38:19the best of the action.

1:38:19 > 1:38:29The 2018 Olympic women's downhill, here, is underway.

1:38:29 > 1:38:37here, is underway. Make no mistake, Connie Huetter as she comes onto the

1:38:37 > 1:38:45Dragon Rich, is a serious threat for success today. Nice soft landing

1:38:45 > 1:38:52first jump. A little less direct than the men's downhill. The control

1:38:52 > 1:38:56gates are all read to date with the blue line under foot on the track to

1:38:56 > 1:39:02aid the athlete's anticipation. Slightly wobbly after landing but

1:39:02 > 1:39:08she corrected with plenty of time. She won the first downhill of the

1:39:08 > 1:39:16World Cup season back in late November in Lake Louise in Canada.

1:39:16 > 1:39:24Potentially the best chance for Austrian success today. The Olympic

1:39:24 > 1:39:33champion four years ago, was beaten to fill the -- Raqqa silver

1:39:33 > 1:39:38position, she has gone home, she had decided that the track doesn't suit

1:39:38 > 1:39:49her. That opened the door for one of the younger Austrians to take her

1:39:49 > 1:39:53place, but Huetter is their best date for Austria. They have had

1:39:53 > 1:40:01three training runs in the baled up to race day. -- build-up. One was

1:40:01 > 1:40:09slightly... Goodness me! Racing snowplough for Connie Suter, she got

1:40:09 > 1:40:14her ski tips crossed and that's not how she wanted to fitness finish

1:40:14 > 1:40:23with a proper scare. The first of the Swiss, Corine

1:40:23 > 1:40:28Souter is away. Went well in training, particularly on Monday

1:40:28 > 1:40:41when she set the fifth fastest time. Suter flies, makes the term

1:40:41 > 1:40:48accurately. Now she gets bounced around, a bit of high-speed steering

1:40:48 > 1:40:56pivot, you don't see that that often in downhill. The good manoeuvre from

1:40:56 > 1:40:58current Souter,

1:41:01 > 1:41:08-- from Suter, giving her the lead over Huetter. Connie Huetter leads

1:41:08 > 1:41:19the way for Austria. On the course, Suter for Switzerland. 31 metres of

1:41:19 > 1:41:25flight. It was green all the way but here is the first red Line.

1:41:29 > 1:41:33Similar track to the one the men raced on, a slight variation in the

1:41:33 > 1:41:41same, they go a different way around the magic tree. Suter pushed outside

1:41:41 > 1:41:49the racing line. She is now the right side of the time. No point to

1:41:49 > 1:41:57seven in front. The Austrian had a big mistake on the finish. If Suter

1:41:57 > 1:42:00finishes cleanly, she may well ski in the first position. And she does.

1:42:00 > 1:42:05Comfortably. Three quarters of the second.

1:42:09 > 1:42:17Tina Weirather is whether -- ready to go, she was a long-time leader in

1:42:17 > 1:42:26the super-g, she was pipped ultimately by the snowboarder who

1:42:26 > 1:42:30was not racing today. She's gone over to start training for the

1:42:30 > 1:42:36parallel giant slalom Olympic snowboard event. Fast and furious

1:42:36 > 1:42:44start here for Tina Weirather, the 28-year-old from lection stein. --

1:42:44 > 1:42:45Lipson stein.

1:42:49 > 1:42:59She is now .34 in front. She will have to make this next sweeping

1:42:59 > 1:43:03turn, slightly airborne, might not have anticipated that but didn't

1:43:03 > 1:43:10seem to do too much damage. That's a nice Suter, executed perfectly by

1:43:10 > 1:43:18the multi-talented athlete. She has been regularly on the podium. She's

1:43:18 > 1:43:26throwing it down. A bronze medallist in the super-g, hoping to go into

1:43:26 > 1:43:34early gold medal spot in the main event, the women's downhill. No real

1:43:34 > 1:43:41errors, her skis have obviously got the preparation right and she is

1:43:41 > 1:43:48miles ahead of Corine Suter. She's just got to stay on her feet. It's

1:43:48 > 1:43:55straight from here on in, along jump, and she leads the way in the

1:43:55 > 1:44:04Olympic downhill. Suter's top spot in last long. Tina Weirather to

1:44:04 > 1:44:12first. Sofia Goggia is ready to go. The best downhill of the season so

1:44:12 > 1:44:17far. She leads the World Cup downhill standings, she has had two

1:44:17 > 1:44:25victories and a couple of podiums as well. She is high on the Dragon

1:44:25 > 1:44:35ridge, she won the test event here this year, -- last year, she had a

1:44:35 > 1:44:38big mistake in the super-g but she has been doing well in her training

1:44:38 > 1:44:44runs and represents a real threat to Lindsey Vonn's chance to win gold.

1:44:44 > 1:44:49She had left herself work to do, that's dangerous. The wind didn't

1:44:49 > 1:44:55get under the ski tips and cause her to crash. That's the side of the

1:44:55 > 1:44:58commitment Goggia is putting into this. She says that when she gets up

1:44:58 > 1:45:04in the morning and walks around, her knee is sore, it takes ten minutes

1:45:04 > 1:45:09to be able to walk and climbing the stairs is an issue but when she gets

1:45:09 > 1:45:14in the start gate, she forgets all about it. She's focused. That was a

1:45:14 > 1:45:21good job. It's that Goggia back in the Chase here.

1:45:26 > 1:45:31104 kilometres per hour. Smooth, accurate returns for Sofia Goggia.

1:45:31 > 1:45:39The 25-year-old Italian hit the control date.

1:45:47 > 1:45:53She could ski into gold medal position here. She leads the way, it

1:45:53 > 1:45:58is a big margin in favour of the Italian! 0.63 might bring her a

1:45:58 > 1:46:03medal today. Will it be gold?

1:46:03 > 1:46:06Italian! 0.63 might bring her a medal today. Will it be gold? This

1:46:06 > 1:46:11was one of the risky moves that she pulled. Straight down onto the tales

1:46:11 > 1:46:18of the skis. Incredible strength. Lindsey Vonn is already a legend,

1:46:18 > 1:46:23whatever happens today. The most successful female ski racer of

1:46:23 > 1:46:32all-time. 81 World Cup victories. She looks to hunt

1:46:32 > 1:46:34She looks to hunt down the all-time record. She could add another couple

1:46:34 > 1:46:40of World Cup victories at the end of the season or the start of next. The

1:46:40 > 1:46:51focus this season is all about today.

1:46:51 > 1:46:57today. She has trained really well. An army of technicians working on

1:46:57 > 1:47:07her. She's fit, fast unfocused. A great turn at Paradise for Lindsey

1:47:07 > 1:47:12Vonn.

1:47:13 > 1:47:18Vonn. One of the oldest competitors in the competition, 33 years old.

1:47:18 > 1:47:26She's four tenths of a second slower than Sofia Goggia. They have been

1:47:26 > 1:47:34level in so many World Cups this season,

1:47:35 > 1:47:42season, with Vonn winning them. She still has to find time. Have a

1:47:42 > 1:47:49second off the pace of Sofia Goggia. The top two separated by 0.63.

1:47:49 > 1:47:54Straight line all the way to the finish. She is crossed the line, and

1:47:54 > 1:48:04it is silver. Sofia Goggia holds on. No gold medal for Lindsey Vonn, in

1:48:04 > 1:48:11what is almost certainly her final Olympic Games. Final words of

1:48:11 > 1:48:22instruction for Alice McKennis, from the United States.

1:48:24 > 1:48:29the United States. McKennis starts fast.

1:48:35 > 1:48:52A lovely jump. So far, so good. Nine hundredths of a second up. The first

1:48:52 > 1:48:56splits have been green Alice McKennis, who is known as the

1:48:56 > 1:49:01alligator.

1:49:05 > 1:49:10alligator. She raced in Whistler eight years ago, but did not finish.

1:49:10 > 1:49:23What a stark. -- what the start. This time, the split is less

1:49:23 > 1:49:28encouraging.

1:49:35 > 1:49:43She desperately tries to hold onto the racing line. Sofia

1:49:43 > 1:49:49the racing line. Sofia Goggia is 0.82 ahead.

1:49:57 > 1:50:02She has gone into fourth position. Alice McKennis is just out of the

1:50:02 > 1:50:08medals. And you must.

1:50:22 > 1:50:28Mowinckel, Norway's best. She was 13th in the Super-G. She has been

1:50:28 > 1:50:32consistent in World Cup downhill races this season. Five times in the

1:50:32 > 1:50:44top ten, but never better than six. She has had a fantastic season. Was

1:50:44 > 1:50:50one of the middle order athletes until the end of 2017 when she

1:50:50 > 1:51:01started to show some fine form. A huge turn for Mowinckel.

1:51:01 > 1:51:06huge turn for Mowinckel. They have had a fine Alpine programme, one

1:51:06 > 1:51:13gold, three silvers and one bronze. Mowinckel contributed to that, on

1:51:13 > 1:51:18the slalom.

1:51:20 > 1:51:24the slalom. At end of a second off the pace. Mowinckel is bringing her

1:51:24 > 1:51:33a game to the biggest race of the season. The top three are only

1:51:33 > 1:51:41separated by 0.63.

1:51:41 > 1:51:47She's not far-off, Mowinckel of Norway may well move in amongst the

1:51:47 > 1:51:56medals. Can she go quickly enough? Slightly wide. She has gone into

1:51:56 > 1:52:04silver! Nine hundredths of a second.

1:52:11 > 1:52:14Weirather smiling through the pain because she has been put out of the

1:52:14 > 1:52:21medals. What are they for Sofia Goggia, the

1:52:21 > 1:52:28first Italian to win the Olympic downhill medal. It is a second

1:52:28 > 1:52:32silver for Mowinckel, and the champion eight years ago, Lindsey

1:52:32 > 1:52:39Vonn, goes home with a bronze for downhill in 2018.

1:52:39 > 1:52:44So, a bit of history for Italy, with Sofia Goggia taking the gold in the

1:52:44 > 1:52:48downhill. In what looks like her last Winter Olympics, Lindsey Vonn

1:52:48 > 1:52:53had to settle for bronze. She spoke to Chemmy Alcott.

1:52:53 > 1:52:55had to settle for bronze. She spoke to Chemmy Alcott.

1:52:55 > 1:52:59You overcame all of the pressure and expectation, and you got a bronze.

1:52:59 > 1:53:04It was intense and mostly it was intense because I just wanted to win

1:53:04 > 1:53:10for my grandfather. It is hard to process it is my last Olympic

1:53:10 > 1:53:19downhill race. Are really want to keep racing forever. But I can't.

1:53:19 > 1:53:22Knowing your family, your grandfather would be so happy you

1:53:22 > 1:53:34went out there and did your best.I hope so.

1:53:39 > 1:53:40So, I

1:53:40 > 1:53:47So, I spoke to your dad earlier, he was here to support you, he did not

1:53:47 > 1:53:51care what position you finished, as long as you went out there and did

1:53:51 > 1:53:57it.This shows you are a true champion. Thank you. I'm sure my dad

1:53:57 > 1:54:03will find something I did wrong! He loves to be critical. But it meant a

1:54:03 > 1:54:12lot to me that he was here. We had some rough times, and he was not in

1:54:12 > 1:54:19Vancouver when I won. -- he had some rough times. It meant a lot that he

1:54:19 > 1:54:22was here. We have all been really emotional because of my grandfather,

1:54:22 > 1:54:29so it meant a lot of us to be here together. Are really emotional day.

1:54:29 > 1:54:34I am really proud to walk away with a medal. It may not be gold, and a

1:54:34 > 1:54:39lot of people will say that I should have got the gold, but it is so hard

1:54:39 > 1:54:43to win or get a medal at the Olympics, and I am proud of my

1:54:43 > 1:54:48performance, so I am walking away very happy.Graham Bell joins me

1:54:48 > 1:54:52now. Really emotional scenes at the end from Lindsey Vonn. The emotional

1:54:52 > 1:54:58side of it from her grandfather, who passed away, but to come back from

1:54:58 > 1:55:01injury and when another Olympic medal, and what she says is the

1:55:01 > 1:55:06final downhill.Yes, the Olympics was very emotional for her, she came

1:55:06 > 1:55:11early, went to the opening ceremony, and she was crying in her first

1:55:11 > 1:55:17press conference she gave, talking about her grandfather, and she was

1:55:17 > 1:55:21trying to do it for him. Yes, she will be disappointed with bronze,

1:55:21 > 1:55:25but she knows this is her last chance and will be glad she got a

1:55:25 > 1:55:29medal.She will take a mate to sleep on it and then she will look back

1:55:29 > 1:55:32and look on it and realised to when and Olympic medal, which is

1:55:32 > 1:55:37incredibly difficult, but given the injuries she had, her body is

1:55:37 > 1:55:41creaking.It is, and it is more for her to do in the sport. She will

1:55:41 > 1:55:53raise another season. She's on 81 World Cup tables, and is chasing the

1:55:53 > 1:56:00record of 86. She also wants to race at Lake Louise, so that is another

1:56:00 > 1:56:09call on her bucket list.For Italy, what a great run from Sofia Goggia.

1:56:09 > 1:56:13Yes, she took more risk and attacked it. She likes it when it is

1:56:13 > 1:56:21difficult, rough and dangerous. A real bundle of energy, Sofia Goggia.

1:56:21 > 1:56:25If anyone was up in the middle of the late, they showed the DT of you

1:56:25 > 1:56:31racing the women's track because it is different from the men's track.

1:56:31 > 1:56:37Yes, it was on the scene

1:56:39 > 1:56:49Yes, it was on the scene -- same piste, and the men's was not quite

1:56:49 > 1:56:54as difficult as the women's going over the edge, which made it twice

1:56:54 > 1:57:00as difficult coming into the tree section. That is where the race was

1:57:00 > 1:57:04ultimately won and lost.Lots of drama today, we are expecting way

1:57:04 > 1:57:09more tomorrow. We'd have not only the men's slalom but also the women

1:57:09 > 1:57:17combined.

1:57:17 > 1:57:21combined.Marcel Hirscher will be joining the exclusive club, only

1:57:21 > 1:57:26three

1:57:34 > 1:57:41have won multiple medals in the same games. Marcel Hirscher will

1:57:41 > 1:57:45hopefully win two technical events and the combined, but the slalom

1:57:45 > 1:57:50will be tough for him because there are few good slalom skiers that can

1:57:50 > 1:57:58challenge him, particularly Henry Kristofferson. And also Dave Ryding,

1:57:58 > 1:58:07he could be in the mix.Yes, what does Team GB's Dave Ryding have?

1:58:07 > 1:58:09does Team GB's Dave Ryding have?He won the first run of the first World

1:58:09 > 1:58:14Cup.

1:58:17 > 1:58:22Cup. He also won the second run in another competition, so if he can

1:58:22 > 1:58:25put them together there is every chance. If you can just really go

1:58:25 > 1:58:30for it, that is ultimately what he has to do. Not worry about placing,

1:58:30 > 1:58:35just go flat out for a medal because if you think about it, there is one

1:58:35 > 1:58:44medal up for grabs. Marcel Hirscher and Henry Kristofferson compete as

1:58:44 > 1:58:47well as the shed, they'd is only one medal left, and they all have to go

1:58:47 > 1:58:56for it. We're going now to the Hockey Centre because the men's

1:58:56 > 1:58:58quarterfinals get under way today. It was the Olympic Athletes from

1:58:58 > 1:58:59Russia, Canada and

1:58:59 > 1:59:01It was the Olympic Athletes from Russia, Canada and Sweden who

1:59:01 > 1:59:04qualified as group winners. The Czech Republic bypassed the

1:59:04 > 1:59:09qualification round as the best placed second place. Fore play-offs

1:59:09 > 1:59:16took place yesterday. That made up the final eight. We will now head to

1:59:16 > 1:59:21the Gangneung Hockey Centre because Norway are taking on the Olympic at

1:59:21 > 1:59:30the from Russia to take on a place. COMMENTATOR: Just relieved the

1:59:30 > 1:59:40pressure. A great finish!

1:59:40 > 1:59:46pressure. A great finish! Where have the lead.

1:59:48 > 1:59:55the lead. Norway looked comfortable, and all it took was one breakdown.

1:59:56 > 2:00:04The Russians are on the board. I wonder how much he saw, he has had

2:00:04 > 2:00:12problems with his eyes. He's rubbing his eyes. What I shot that was.

2:00:13 > 2:00:18his eyes. What I shot that was.This just goes to show, the Olympic from

2:00:18 > 2:00:28Russia do not need much, just...

2:00:28 > 2:00:32Russia do not need much, just...The fans are happy. The Russian fans,

2:00:32 > 2:00:37that is, because the OAR are leading by 1-0. The Norwegians fighting as

2:00:37 > 2:00:44hard as they can to stay in the game. OAR are the strongest of the

2:00:44 > 2:00:54teens by some distance.

2:00:56 > 2:01:04OAR are wearing the traditional redshirts. They have a flag in the

2:01:04 > 2:01:11locker room saying, big red machine, as a throwback to the old Soviet red

2:01:11 > 2:01:19Army teams. They were so successful. The are the favourites in this game

2:01:19 > 2:01:27to go through, and no doubt the most interesting party at the Czech

2:01:27 > 2:01:34Republic.

2:01:38 > 2:01:44They are trying to work this one download.

2:01:45 > 2:01:51download. That woman thrown a minute and it will be held on by Lars

2:01:51 > 2:02:01Haugen, a terrific netminder. Very busy so far, as has Mikhail

2:02:01 > 2:02:06Grigorenko, scoring the only goal so far.12 shots fired at Lars Haugen

2:02:06 > 2:02:13already, he had some I issued a few minutes into the game. We saw him

2:02:13 > 2:02:19blinking his eyes and trying to splash them with water. And right

2:02:19 > 2:02:23after that the first OAR goal was scored. He was just talking to the

2:02:23 > 2:02:31team doctor. Hopefully that's rectified.A penalty coming here, a

2:02:31 > 2:02:41high stick.Sergey Kalinin got his stick up in the corner. Took his

2:02:41 > 2:02:46stick, pardon me.

2:02:47 > 2:02:54stick, pardon me. Niklas Roest got him. You can see it come all the way

2:02:54 > 2:03:01around, right there. And were going to get our first look at this OAR

2:03:01 > 2:03:06power play which is extremely dangerous.So far, a couple of power

2:03:06 > 2:03:16play goals for the OAR and they're facing a penalty kill that has

2:03:16 > 2:03:19conceded four times, there was some negotiation as to who should be on

2:03:19 > 2:03:24the ice.A late line change from Norway, the rest do not like that.

2:03:24 > 2:03:33The roll is, after the vessel, if you are the home team, the referee

2:03:33 > 2:03:41sticks his arm in the air and then you have got five seconds to get

2:03:41 > 2:03:48whoever you want on the ice.

2:03:48 > 2:03:53whoever you want on the ice. Looking for the chance out in front, and

2:03:53 > 2:04:05wide. That comes off the shoulder of Kaprizov.The slight deflection off

2:04:05 > 2:04:13that there, he looks right to the middle of the ice to Kaprizov.

2:04:17 > 2:04:25Although back on the blue line. Can they finish at? They can!

2:04:28 > 2:04:31they finish at? They can! Great net presents from Kaprizov. OAR have a

2:04:31 > 2:04:38second goal of the game. And they are looking really, really strong.

2:04:38 > 2:04:43Smiling, quite rightly. They've taken this Olympic quarterfinal by

2:04:43 > 2:04:47the scruff of the neck and giving this one a real kick in the right

2:04:47 > 2:04:57direction.A little bit fortunate with the

2:04:57 > 2:05:02with the shot, from Mozyakin, went to the sticks, he recognised that

2:05:02 > 2:05:06the netminder Haugen was out of position, as he was sliding back to

2:05:06 > 2:05:14get to his post, it bounced off his pad and in. If you look at the two

2:05:14 > 2:05:21goals, one deflects off the linesman right to Grigorenko and the other of

2:05:21 > 2:05:24the netminder, unfortunately, former Norwegian perspective.I'm sure

2:05:24 > 2:05:30people would say that you make your own luck in the situations. And if

2:05:30 > 2:05:38you put rubber on the net, opportunities will come your way.

2:05:44 > 2:05:53Offside given, so the second goal going to Gusev on the angle, far

2:05:53 > 2:06:01from a thing of beauty.We saw that exact play turn into a goal earlier

2:06:01 > 2:06:04in the tournament, that was Gusev to Mozyakin, and that was the play they

2:06:04 > 2:06:10tried. Mozyakin's shot got turned right back to Gusev who banked it

2:06:10 > 2:06:18in.Norway trying to come back in, and they now really have two hang on

2:06:18 > 2:06:23a little bit here. They need to make sure they get out of this period

2:06:23 > 2:06:29with no more than a 2-goal disadvantage.When you've only

2:06:29 > 2:06:35scored four goals in four games, and are already down two, that's going

2:06:35 > 2:06:40to be really difficult.This may be an opportunity to make something

2:06:40 > 2:06:48happen. But not quite. At the

2:06:49 > 2:06:55happen. But not quite. At the other end, going after it. Right now, the

2:06:55 > 2:07:04OAR are more physical, they are bigger and stronger and their

2:07:04 > 2:07:07attacking ways are causing problems. Let's be clear, when surprised by

2:07:07 > 2:07:12any means by the score, not surprised at how dominating the OAR

2:07:12 > 2:07:18team has been. They lead 15-1 in the shops department. This was a

2:07:18 > 2:07:21mismatch on paper and it's really turning into everything we have

2:07:21 > 2:07:31expected so far.Oh, wow! The way open up for a second. And Norway

2:07:31 > 2:07:37could not find the net. Desperate defending.

2:07:40 > 2:07:45defending. Stefan Sorensen claiming he didn't Tillerson.-- hear the

2:07:45 > 2:07:54whistle. He went right onto the tape of a Norwegian forward there. There

2:07:54 > 2:07:58was a play, it wasn't connecting tape to tape, or it very easily

2:07:58 > 2:08:05could have been 2-1, and that would have raised a few eyebrows. Lands

2:08:05 > 2:08:13right onto the tape. And then Stefan Forest and couldn't get his

2:08:13 > 2:08:21backhand.Desperately diving, spreading his six at seven frame.A

2:08:21 > 2:08:35good job from Andrei Zubarev, the defender, to get his stick in there.

2:08:35 > 2:08:39He's getting a bit of call downtime while they clear off some of the

2:08:39 > 2:08:46snow which is on the ice. They have three of these little snow breaks.

2:08:46 > 2:08:50And it makes a big difference, because the ice really does cut up

2:08:50 > 2:08:57and snow gets lonely, which slows the

2:09:00 > 2:09:10Down.OAR into the zone. Just looking around, trying to see what

2:09:10 > 2:09:13the best option was. And now there'll put it at the back of the

2:09:13 > 2:09:19net.

2:09:19 > 2:09:30Gusev, back door X macro well, Datsyuk denied one, I don't know how

2:09:30 > 2:09:37he didn't get that in.What a pass from Gusev, remarkable, not many

2:09:37 > 2:09:49people even try that pass.He loves to move that puck. It will be tidied

2:09:49 > 2:09:58up by the Norwegians. He is a remarkable player, Gusev. Such

2:09:58 > 2:10:11wonderful vision. And the speed at which this OAR team move the puck,

2:10:11 > 2:10:16tape to tape, there's a real snap and bite to everything they do.When

2:10:16 > 2:10:22you handle

2:10:22 > 2:10:26you handle pucks this easily, they do it very quickly and assertively.

2:10:26 > 2:10:31They were well rested coming into this game having had three full days

2:10:31 > 2:10:39rest. They will happen practising, of course. But that makes life very

2:10:39 > 2:10:46easy for the coaching staff. And for the players as well who are getting

2:10:46 > 2:10:50used to the tournament format, the food, the difference of life in the

2:10:50 > 2:10:57Olympic Village.

2:10:58 > 2:11:04I mean, you are looking at the number of millionaires out there on

2:11:04 > 2:11:14the ice and absolute top money. Someone like Pavel Datsyuk, or Ilya

2:11:14 > 2:11:20Kablukov, they have earned millions in the leagues in America. And there

2:11:20 > 2:11:25contracts aren't much more when they moved back to Russia to the

2:11:25 > 2:11:33continental league which is the second best league in the world.

2:11:33 > 2:11:39That was Grigorenko looking for his second of the game. Into the final

2:11:39 > 2:11:46two minutes of the first period. Good job releasing here, any time

2:11:46 > 2:11:54they can catch their breath, and right back at it comes the red Army.

2:11:54 > 2:12:00Ivan Telegin is not possession and Norway can -- gives up possession

2:12:00 > 2:12:08and Norway can get to the red line. They cannot force at home. The one

2:12:08 > 2:12:18question you have about this OAR team is the netminding.

2:12:18 > 2:12:25team is the netminding. He has only given up four goals, the silly

2:12:25 > 2:12:31Kuchar skin. They were not good ones. -- Vasily Koshechkin.

2:12:42 > 2:12:52A penalty coming for OAR. A snapshot from

2:12:52 > 2:13:00from Gusev, and Voynov scores! And with 30 seconds remaining, the big

2:13:00 > 2:13:05red machine is steam-rolling right over the top of Norway. They are

2:13:05 > 2:13:11heading to the semifinals, and a date of the Czech Republic. And also

2:13:11 > 2:13:16show of their skills and power. -- an awesome show. What a first period

2:13:16 > 2:13:22from the Russians.There's going to be a penalty coming up. But before

2:13:22 > 2:13:26the OAR team can even get a sixth attacker out on the ice, the puck

2:13:26 > 2:13:34comes back from Gusev to Voynov, and a terrifically placed shot. Just a

2:13:34 > 2:13:38snapshot, not a laser beam, but just out of the reach of the blocker

2:13:38 > 2:13:45Haugen.

2:13:47 > 2:13:52Well, the Norwegians have an awful lot of contemplating to do as they

2:13:52 > 2:13:59headed down to the locker room in 20 seconds. What exactly can they do?

2:13:59 > 2:14:08What can they come up with to quell this sea of red attacking play

2:14:08 > 2:14:13that's coming, wave after wave after wave?It really is impressive. It

2:14:13 > 2:14:19took them a little while to get going. But this OAR team has too

2:14:19 > 2:14:24much talent and we knew it wouldn't be long until they show that there

2:14:24 > 2:14:33might against this Norwegian club.A good face-off win and that will be

2:14:33 > 2:14:34played around the boards.

2:14:38 > 2:14:44I think he was considering a shot on goal there.I don't know if he

2:14:44 > 2:14:53thought he had player racing down. Nonetheless, 3.6 seconds, and if

2:14:53 > 2:15:02Norway can win a face-off, there could be a chance.

2:15:07 > 2:15:13No chance for Norway, can't win the draw. Well, what a first period it

2:15:13 > 2:15:17is for the Olympics athletes from Russia. In the quarterfinals, they

2:15:17 > 2:15:25have taken control, goals from Grigorenko, Gusev and Voynov mean

2:15:25 > 2:15:28Norway have plenty to do, lots of work to do in the locker room to try

2:15:28 > 2:15:32and figure out a way to get back in the game. A trail OAR.

2:15:42 > 2:15:48Yes, the Olympic Athletes from Russia. Earlier today one of the

2:15:48 > 2:15:52other quarterfinals involving the USA and the Czech Republic took

2:15:52 > 2:15:56place. The USA not able to select any players from the NHL, but still

2:15:56 > 2:16:01coming here with high hopes of a medal. Let us get the best of the

2:16:01 > 2:16:11action from the quarterfinal with Seth Bennett and Ken Simpson.

2:16:11 > 2:16:17Seth Bennett and Ken Simpson. Three assists yesterday for Terry. And a

2:16:17 > 2:16:27score as! Another shot.

2:16:28 > 2:16:34score as! Another shot.When you're hot, you're hot. This is a harmless

2:16:34 > 2:16:44little short.

2:16:56 > 2:17:04And they score! Rate of the face-off. The fans are delighted.

2:17:04 > 2:17:15And the pressure has been coming and coming for them.Smart play.

2:17:29 > 2:17:36What amazing plea from Jan Kolar, he knows there is no one there.The

2:17:36 > 2:17:41rebound not taken.

2:17:41 > 2:17:46rebound not taken. And they score! The pressure is on, the US unable to

2:17:46 > 2:17:51get off the ice.

2:17:57 > 2:18:00get off the ice. Kundratek gives the Czech Republic the lead in the

2:18:00 > 2:18:05quarterfinal.

2:18:06 > 2:18:13quarterfinal. Also a good job from Mertl. It goes from bad to worse for

2:18:13 > 2:18:19John McCarthy.

2:18:21 > 2:18:32John McCarthy. A short-handed! Jim Slater levels again for the USA.

2:18:32 > 2:18:41What a breakdown from the Czech Republic.

2:18:41 > 2:18:48Republic. O'Neill brings Slater. And he flicks it

2:18:49 > 2:18:55he flicks it passed the gloves of markers the. -- the gloves of

2:18:55 > 2:19:04Francouz. Francouz cannot quite get out. An enormous goal, as they have

2:19:04 > 2:19:18had nothing going for them in the second period.The final 15 seconds.

2:19:20 > 2:19:27The Americans will have 40 seconds of 413 coming up. We're going to

2:19:27 > 2:19:41overtime. One of these teams will be going home shortly.

2:19:47 > 2:19:54We're going to game-winning shots in the first quarterfinal. Cubicle. The

2:19:54 > 2:19:59Czech Republic are going to

2:20:11 > 2:20:27shoot first, there will be a cross next to his name?

2:20:30 > 2:20:36Bourque for the Americans. That stopped.

2:20:41 > 2:20:49stopped. A big move, a big goal! Koukal scores, first man on the

2:20:49 > 2:21:03board in the quarterfinal. The man of the moment, Ryan Granato.

2:21:03 > 2:21:16of the moment, Ryan Granato. -- one. Kolar??, deflects wide.

2:21:18 > 2:21:29Kolar??, deflects wide. Another big save.

2:21:31 > 2:21:39Incomes Terry. Architect said, and another save. Strong with that right

2:21:39 > 2:21:45leg.

2:22:06 > 2:22:09Brilliant in the shoot out, and the Americans can hold their heads high.

2:22:09 > 2:22:17They have had a great tournament but now they have to go home, and the

2:22:17 > 2:22:23Czechs

2:22:23 > 2:22:26Czechs guarantee a medal. The Czech Republic are through to the

2:22:26 > 2:22:32semifinals. We will see who will join them a little later. If you are

2:22:32 > 2:22:37just waking up, here is what you have missed. Here are the headlines

2:22:37 > 2:22:42on day 12. In the women's downhill, Sofia Goggia made history by

2:22:42 > 2:22:48becoming Italy's first-ever female downhill Olympic champion. 2010 gold

2:22:48 > 2:22:50medallist and three event favourite Lindsey Vonn settled for a bronze.

2:22:50 > 2:22:56It was the Russia show as the figure skating singles competition got

2:22:56 > 2:23:04under way. There was a world-record short programme overshadowing her

2:23:04 > 2:23:14Olympic rival and company treat. Great Britain's women got a win over

2:23:14 > 2:23:20Canada to book their space in the semifinals, with the added bonus of

2:23:20 > 2:23:24eliminating the opponents from the tournament. A disappointing 10-4

2:23:24 > 2:23:28defeat for the men against the USA means they will need to win a

2:23:28 > 2:23:32play-off match against Switzerland tomorrow to qualify for the

2:23:32 > 2:23:38Pyeongchang 2018 semifinals.

2:23:38 > 2:23:40Pyeongchang 2018 semifinals. In an incredibly high-quality

2:23:40 > 2:23:44qualification, GB snowboarder Billy Morgan got a spot in Saturday's big

2:23:44 > 2:23:51E final. The USA top the pile after scoring 97.5 points on his second

2:23:51 > 2:24:01run. At around 8:45am you can see the men's team sprint free

2:24:01 > 2:24:03semifinals, including Andrew Musgrave and Andrew Young, the

2:24:03 > 2:24:13British joule bid peer. That will be on the red button. -- the British

2:24:13 > 2:24:19peer. We're going to the ski Cross, added to the Olympic calendar in

2:24:19 > 2:24:242010 in Vancouver. Always delivers drama. Four people race against each

2:24:24 > 2:24:30other down a track of twists, turns and jumps. The first across the

2:24:30 > 2:24:40finish line as the winner. We're joining Graham Bell and Ed Leigh.

2:24:40 > 2:24:47Lining up in the gates.

2:25:04 > 2:25:22The Russian has played very well. Radio 1 -- Brady Leman. On the

2:25:22 > 2:25:28outside, and usually opted to choose the outside lane, Drury. The

2:25:28 > 2:25:35Canadian is so fast, the Russians or clever.

2:25:36 > 2:25:45clever. Under starter's orders.

2:25:49 > 2:25:55Brady Leman looking good. The Russian is ahead.

2:25:59 > 2:26:05Russian is ahead. A lot of work to be done by the Canadians.The

2:26:05 > 2:26:17Russian has gone! Who can get up fastest?

2:26:17 > 2:26:24fastest? The Canadian is guaranteed a medal if he can get off his feet.

2:26:24 > 2:26:29Gash on his feet.

2:26:34 > 2:26:37Gash on his feet. This would be incredible from Brady Leman. He

2:26:37 > 2:26:40broke his leg ahead of the Winter Olympic Games eight years ago, and

2:26:40 > 2:26:52he was agonisingly forth four years ago.

2:26:53 > 2:27:02A gold medal finally for back row one! What an incredible performance.

2:27:03 > 2:27:06Silver for Bischofberger, the Swiss leader of the World Cup. He manages

2:27:06 > 2:27:14to turn that form into a medal. And it is the Russian, Ridzik, working

2:27:14 > 2:27:24his way through.

2:27:25 > 2:27:38his way through.I think it was draw who went down. For the Canadians to

2:27:38 > 2:27:41finally get onto an Olympic podium, and he is on top spot. Board the

2:27:41 > 2:27:50Canadians were out slow.

2:27:50 > 2:27:56Canadians were out slow. Brady Leman generated great speed for the next

2:27:56 > 2:28:02section. He was in last place going here.Bischofberger was right in

2:28:02 > 2:28:08front of his skis, beautifully positioned.

2:28:08 > 2:28:14positioned. Kevin Drury went down first. He took out Ridzik at the

2:28:14 > 2:28:19knees.If it had gone the other way it probably would have been a

2:28:19 > 2:28:28protest.

2:28:28 > 2:28:38protest. He knew what was at stake. He was definitely taken out by the

2:28:38 > 2:28:45Canadian in front of him.Brady Leman soaking up the jumps down into

2:28:45 > 2:28:53the finishing area. Bischofberger was so close he could nearly touch

2:28:53 > 2:29:00Brady Leman. But he takes the silver. And Ridzik for the bronze.

2:29:00 > 2:29:06That is what it means to the Canadian. Injured in Vancouver,

2:29:06 > 2:29:17fourth place in Sochi and now he is the Olympic champion.Epic drama at

2:29:17 > 2:29:20the Snow Park. Graham Bell is joining the again. That is

2:29:20 > 2:29:25everything you'd expect from ski cross.Yes, a lot of crashes in the

2:29:25 > 2:29:29first round, some bad injuries. It is the sporting equivalent of a

2:29:29 > 2:29:36fight in a pub car park! Anything goes. The French racer, a quick

2:29:36 > 2:29:46update on the injury, he broke his tibia. He overflew the jump.

2:29:46 > 2:29:52tibia. He overflew the jump. Has concussion, and the

2:29:52 > 2:29:59concussion, and the worst was the Canadian, he got the jump wrong, had

2:29:59 > 2:30:04his weight back, and he was sideways, ended up coming down, and

2:30:04 > 2:30:10he has broken his pelvis. Car crash TV. Then we had a crash in the final

2:30:10 > 2:30:15as well.

2:30:15 > 2:30:20as well.But it is something people love to watch.It is the most

2:30:20 > 2:30:24dangerous of the Winter Olympic sports because they are pushing its

2:30:24 > 2:30:28a hard. The course is slightly safer than the one in Sochi four years

2:30:28 > 2:30:32ago, but when only two can go through, they will push it hard. It

2:30:32 > 2:30:35is the Olympic Games and they are going for it throwing themselves at

2:30:35 > 2:30:39it.

2:30:39 > 2:30:43For them, you are racing against other people, so list that

2:30:43 > 2:30:47adrenaline and that competitive edge because so often you are against

2:30:47 > 2:30:50that clock and you don't know how close you are to the person in front

2:30:50 > 2:30:54of you.But it doesn't matter how fast you go, as long as you're

2:30:54 > 2:30:59faster than the next mind, as long as you can shut the door and have

2:30:59 > 2:31:02clever overtaking. That's what's so important with ski cross. You have

2:31:02 > 2:31:07got to have a good start, but also be brave to overtake.How tactical

2:31:07 > 2:31:13is it? And what kind of skier doesn't suit? Because it's

2:31:13 > 2:31:19technical, fast, but there's also a lot of endurance, five races the

2:31:19 > 2:31:23medal winner had to go through today.Yes, you got to make it

2:31:23 > 2:31:30through each race like it's the final. It was great that Brady Leman

2:31:30 > 2:31:38one because he got it in Vancouver, he broke his leg in training and

2:31:38 > 2:31:42didn't compete, in Sochi, he was forth behind the three French

2:31:42 > 2:31:46skiers. This time around he was able to climb on top of the podium. He

2:31:46 > 2:31:50was able to make his move of the roller section, he knew he could

2:31:50 > 2:31:54generate speed so he set himself off to one side and just pumped his way

2:31:54 > 2:32:01through. And then his team-mates crashed and took out the Russian and

2:32:01 > 2:32:07he had to Haringey back out. I love those shots of him climbing up the

2:32:07 > 2:32:14hill to come back up.How much fun it accommodate on? Because it's so

2:32:14 > 2:32:21high octane ever race.It's so fun, if it had been around when I was

2:32:21 > 2:32:25racing, I would have switched, a lot of people who did downhill to ski

2:32:25 > 2:32:31cross because it gives you a buzz. Nothing like racing head-to-head.

2:32:31 > 2:32:36Women's race on Saturday, should be another good one.Yes, Emily

2:32:36 > 2:32:40Sarsfield Britain will be racing in that, hopefully she gets through.

2:32:40 > 2:32:46It's such a tough event. You have two risk absolutely everything.

2:32:46 > 2:32:53You've really just got is too late on the line.It looks like a great

2:32:53 > 2:32:57atmosphere down there, it's a great spectator event.It is, yes, it's

2:32:57 > 2:33:01dangerous and there are injuries but the guys who are doing it are fully

2:33:01 > 2:33:05committed to it. They do this week in, week out on the World Cup tour.

2:33:05 > 2:33:12They don't quite crash as much as they do as at the Olympics!Until I

2:33:12 > 2:33:16had about the injuries I thought I'd give it a go myself but have changed

2:33:16 > 2:33:20my mind! We're going to head back to the ice hockey where the Olympic

2:33:20 > 2:33:23Athletes from Russia are facing Norway in the quarterfinals. They

2:33:23 > 2:33:28have a commanding lead after the first period, OAR. Let's see if

2:33:28 > 2:33:34Norway can stage fight back. I think they going to need a little

2:33:34 > 2:33:42bit of help. I don't know whether

2:33:42 > 2:33:42I think they going to need a little bit of help. I don't know divine

2:33:42 > 2:33:48intervention is what they need but they need to find a way to stop OAR.

2:33:48 > 2:33:54This man has just come in to replace Lars Haugen, who had some problems

2:33:54 > 2:34:01with his eyes. Henrik Haukeland has started this period. And he will get

2:34:01 > 2:34:07his first taste of winter Olympic ice hockey action. How tough job of

2:34:07 > 2:34:14that before him?It's going to be very difficult -- how tough of a job

2:34:14 > 2:34:18will that be for him? He has been on the bench but he has not made any

2:34:18 > 2:34:23action yet. To have the OAR team be your first competition is going to

2:34:23 > 2:34:33be really tricky. Not many shots directed at him yet. The OAR team

2:34:33 > 2:34:41had to kill off a penalty earlier on in the period but it will

2:34:41 > 2:34:49in the period but it will Not belong, 20-2 shots in favour of OAR.

2:34:49 > 2:34:56Haukeland has played in the top league in Sweden, a re-standard.

2:34:56 > 2:35:08He's dropped down one stage to go down to a different league where he

2:35:08 > 2:35:12plays against good players every week. Nobody quite the standard of

2:35:12 > 2:35:19this OAR team, which, at best, is sensational. They did lose one game

2:35:19 > 2:35:26going through the group phase having led by two goals to nil, against the

2:35:26 > 2:35:33Slovakians. Harsh to figure out even with the benefit of hindsight how

2:35:33 > 2:35:42that happened. He might look like you have a hard day at the office,

2:35:42 > 2:35:48but it's been easy for him.There's no real reason to think that

2:35:48 > 2:35:54anything will change from the Norwegian side.

2:35:55 > 2:35:59Norwegian side.Playing in their first ever Olympic quarterfinal. Ice

2:35:59 > 2:36:02hockey is one of those sports that really should be big in Norway,

2:36:02 > 2:36:06there's no reason why it shouldn't be a prominent sport but it seems to

2:36:06 > 2:36:13lag behind ski jumping and cross-country. And all the rest of

2:36:13 > 2:36:18the other winter sports that Norway have got a real dominant streak in.

2:36:18 > 2:36:24Haukeland grabs hold of that.

2:36:31 > 2:36:39Prokhorkin 's had a good tournament so far, he loves to get into the

2:36:39 > 2:36:43face of his opponents. We saw it against the United States, he was

2:36:43 > 2:36:47not backing down from any of the American players, laughing it off

2:36:47 > 2:36:52after he put a glove in the face, a little extra stick. He thrives on

2:36:52 > 2:36:59that sort of hockey.He's one of the St Petersburg players in the

2:36:59 > 2:37:07continental hockey league. Spent a little bit of time in the US with

2:37:07 > 2:37:13the Manchester monarchs. They are a second-tier team in the American

2:37:13 > 2:37:15hockey league.

2:37:25 > 2:37:31Looking at what their options are, here. Penalty coming, and it's a

2:37:31 > 2:37:36penalty on Ivan Telegin who interferes with one of the Norwegian

2:37:36 > 2:37:41players. They've got to be careful they don't get taken off the game

2:37:41 > 2:37:46here, the Russians. Almost finding it difficult to stay motivated by

2:37:46 > 2:37:51the game and they get involved in other stuff.That's the case here,

2:37:51 > 2:37:57and already the second penalty taken by the OAR here early in the second

2:37:57 > 2:38:02period. They've got a commanding 3-0 lead. And it's only human nature for

2:38:02 > 2:38:08a bit of complacency to step in. The head coach doesn't want to see that,

2:38:08 > 2:38:16he wants to see his team continue to work hard and play the right way.

2:38:16 > 2:38:19They know that there is a very good Czech Republic team coming for them

2:38:19 > 2:38:28in the semifinals.That saved per to come to be. -- that is saved pretty

2:38:28 > 2:38:33competently.

2:38:33 > 2:38:36competently. Norway gave it away, though. Deep inside their own zone.

2:38:36 > 2:38:42They have one extra play-off on the ice right now, hard to imagine. They

2:38:42 > 2:38:51are skating away. No goals in the second period so far. Most of it has

2:38:51 > 2:39:04been Norwegian power play time. That's into the

2:39:04 > 2:39:11That's into the body and the Celica -- Vasily Koshechkin grabbed hold of

2:39:11 > 2:39:17it.

2:39:18 > 2:39:21it.55 feet out, not ideal on a power play but when you've only had

2:39:21 > 2:39:27to macro shots through 25 minutes of action, you've got to continue

2:39:27 > 2:39:34through Aaron on that. -- starring Rob on that.

2:39:42 > 2:39:49The work is not cleaned so far.

2:39:49 > 2:39:58Ridge again, fighting the book little bit.

2:39:58 > 2:40:06little bit. It will now be cleared away all the way down the ice.

2:40:06 > 2:40:14Norway will try and come again.

2:40:21 > 2:40:26Look at them keeping their feet moving, the Russian team. Forcing

2:40:26 > 2:40:33Norway to make passes.Being aggressive all over the ice, three

2:40:33 > 2:40:40players on one Norwegian player. If you are Norway, you have got to let

2:40:40 > 2:40:48the puck do the work, you got to move it, change the angle of attack.

2:40:48 > 2:40:54Kick it back and then move it left-to-right. That's easier said

2:40:54 > 2:41:04than done.

2:41:12 > 2:41:18A shot from range is perfected wide. -- deflected. There are goals all

2:41:18 > 2:41:23over the ice.

2:41:27 > 2:41:33over the ice. A shooting chance, they score!

2:41:39 > 2:41:47Bonsaksen has had a good couple of days, that is all about the Battle

2:41:47 > 2:41:52on the board and Norway have their first ever Olympic quarterfinal

2:41:52 > 2:42:01goal. The brothers combine and then Bonsaksen finishes with a block.

2:42:01 > 2:42:06What's the netminder, he had no idea where it was. The pass came out,

2:42:06 > 2:42:10look where he is looking, he goes to the other side. Bonsaksen puts it

2:42:10 > 2:42:16right in the middle of the net and nothing but confusion from Vasily

2:42:16 > 2:42:25Koshechkin. Confusion from the OAR netminder and a good finish from

2:42:25 > 2:42:31Bonsaksen, and it's a 3-1 game, with just four macro shots on net by

2:42:31 > 2:42:41Norway.That was, cough. -- that was comical.

2:42:41 > 2:42:47It's going to be a heist that called against the Norwegian goal scorer.

2:42:47 > 2:42:54Hero to villain in the space of a couple of replays.

2:42:54 > 2:42:58couple of replays. Bonsaksen going to the box, high stick is the call.

2:42:58 > 2:43:02He was the hero yesterday in overtime, got the goal that moved

2:43:02 > 2:43:09Norway onto this game here as they beat Slovenia 2-1.A real good job

2:43:09 > 2:43:16into the play on this goal. On and off his stick in a hurry. Standard

2:43:16 > 2:43:28the OAR defenceman. -- he stunned him. He was dispiriting

2:43:29 > 2:43:33him. He was dispiriting -- pivoting backwards. No regard for his stick.

2:43:33 > 2:43:40This shot goes right into the middle of the net. He didn't have any idea

2:43:40 > 2:43:46where the puck was so it's slipped right in.Bonsaksen playing in his

2:43:46 > 2:43:50third Olympic Games, and in Vancouver he got no points, and in

2:43:50 > 2:43:54Sochi, he got no points. But Pyeongchang is the time and place.

2:43:54 > 2:44:03Two goals in the space of less than 24 hours.

2:44:03 > 2:44:1024 hours. And that was quite a moment in this game.

2:44:10 > 2:44:15moment in this game. So have OAR been lulled to sleep or will they be

2:44:15 > 2:44:23awake?

2:44:27 > 2:44:32Ambitious pass to get through all of those players but not something that

2:44:32 > 2:44:37usually would worry him.He had that in his mind, as soon as he got the

2:44:37 > 2:44:46puck that he would go across.He's really playing at half case, here.

2:44:46 > 2:44:55Such a wonderful player. He sets that one up. And from a matter of

2:44:55 > 2:45:04inches, all we he had to do was get his stick on it. The power play

2:45:04 > 2:45:07clicking very nicely indeed for the Olympics athletes from Russia, that

2:45:07 > 2:45:21was a bit of a painted by Kovalchuk. Look at him recognise, it is one

2:45:21 > 2:45:29against zero situation if he can that pass. He beats Mateus Noster

2:45:29 > 2:45:36though, the defender. A quick flick and a wonderful job from Sergey

2:45:36 > 2:45:40Kalinin, who has to get down on his knee and make sure he gets the puck

2:45:40 > 2:45:53on and off his stick. 4-1 to the OAR.Four goals and four scorers in

2:45:53 > 2:46:04this game. Norway coming into this game had only scored four goals.

2:46:19 > 2:46:25This group from Russia are Heartbreakers.

2:46:28 > 2:46:31Heartbreakers.I'm sure fans all over the nation will be watching

2:46:31 > 2:46:35this, and wherever they are they will be feeling very proud. There is

2:46:35 > 2:46:40not a Russian flag on their tops, but they are very much a product of

2:46:40 > 2:46:45the Russian game, and the players are very much playing for Russian

2:46:45 > 2:46:49hearts and minds, and the Russian flag somewhere along the line,

2:46:49 > 2:47:00irrespective of what the IOC are seeing.

2:47:09 > 2:47:14As a fan and a Russian, it almost makes you stand taller for your

2:47:14 > 2:47:22country.

2:47:22 > 2:47:29country. With regard to the doping, there is still will question whether

2:47:29 > 2:47:34they should be representing anybody here, but they are, and you cannot

2:47:34 > 2:47:42take anything away from the fans. 100%.

2:47:48 > 2:47:51They are eligible to compete in the competition, whatever happened four

2:47:51 > 2:47:55years ago is very little to do with them, and they are proud Russian so

2:47:55 > 2:47:58why would they not be excited to be delivering the kind of Olympic

2:47:58 > 2:48:02performance the Russian public cabin wanting for a long time? And they

2:48:02 > 2:48:08want more goals.

2:48:25 > 2:48:38Norway are trailing. They could have another chance here, but...

2:49:12 > 2:49:20A penalty coming. Antonov is there a. That referee cannot see it, a

2:49:20 > 2:49:28penalty coming. Russian power so far. Up twice, scored twice, thank

2:49:28 > 2:49:33you very much.

2:49:34 > 2:49:46you very much.Too much work here from the Alway are.

2:49:47 > 2:49:50They can demonstrate to the referee that they are being impeded from

2:49:50 > 2:49:54going where they want to, it is pretty easy to make a call. You made

2:49:54 > 2:49:59the point before

2:50:19 > 2:50:31Two of the players have four goals each.

2:50:31 > 2:50:34each., they have guys who can do it in bunches and other guy is just

2:50:34 > 2:50:40getting started by the looks of things.

2:50:42 > 2:50:50things.Watch the setup for the power play here.

2:50:51 > 2:50:54power play here. Gusev looks behind the net, and then the lookout for

2:50:54 > 2:50:59robbers.

2:50:59 > 2:51:06robbers.No reader a good job of doing that.It is like the early 90s

2:51:06 > 2:51:14when

2:51:14 > 2:51:20when they had great players, they would send out five Russians, and

2:51:20 > 2:51:25the head coach would send out five of them. It was a thing of beauty to

2:51:25 > 2:51:32watch them working around on the power play.The score, it comes off

2:51:32 > 2:51:40the defender.

2:51:40 > 2:51:49the defender. Bonsaksen puts it in. A third power play goal. Bonsaksen

2:51:49 > 2:51:54puts it in his own net, but there are no own goals in as hockey, so

2:51:54 > 2:51:59the credit will go to all eight are. They have definitely had a few ugly

2:51:59 > 2:52:08ones on the power play. This was of Bonsaksen?. But not so much the ugly

2:52:08 > 2:52:12goals, it is just the continued presence, the relentless pressure on

2:52:12 > 2:52:17the power play,

2:52:27 > 2:52:3312 different goal-scorers.Starting to get to the point where you count

2:52:33 > 2:52:36the ones who have not scored because it is easier than counting those who

2:52:36 > 2:52:48have! That is over half of the team. And that is only in four games.

2:52:49 > 2:52:53And that is only in four games.What now for Norway? 5-1 down. They know

2:52:53 > 2:52:57that this is going to be the end of the Olympic experience. What do they

2:52:57 > 2:53:03do here? The Lowe you have to start by being more disciplined. Three

2:53:03 > 2:53:11power play goals, 3-3 on the power play. It this team which you in the

2:53:11 > 2:53:14position where you have to stick or hold. Norway will be as disciplined

2:53:14 > 2:53:19as possible.

2:53:19 > 2:53:25as possible. Bonsaksen scored in overtime, scored today, twice today,

2:53:25 > 2:53:32once in his own team and once against the Russian athlete team.

2:53:34 > 2:53:44Oh, dear. These ice skates are very expensive, anything up to £800, and

2:53:44 > 2:53:50made of all sorts of materials. One of the things the do with skates

2:53:50 > 2:54:01now... A quick whistle here.

2:54:01 > 2:54:04now... A quick whistle here. An extra puck on the ice. What they do

2:54:04 > 2:54:08now is heat them up then form them on your feet. A lot of people may

2:54:08 > 2:54:12have had the experience of skating on a public session, feeling how

2:54:12 > 2:54:20uncomfortable they are. I do not know why one of the fans did that.

2:54:20 > 2:54:25He might be shown the door! Typically frowned upon, fans

2:54:25 > 2:54:33throwing things on the ice.

2:54:33 > 2:54:35throwing things on the ice.To finish my point, the ice skates are

2:54:35 > 2:54:40little more like slippers. The very lightweight. And the players will

2:54:40 > 2:54:54feel very comfortable in them. Back to Bonsaksen?.

2:54:55 > 2:55:05to Bonsaksen?. Penalties coming. A bit of frustration seeping in.He

2:55:05 > 2:55:11had a wonderful chance before this setup.

2:55:19 > 2:55:32A terrific experience for Hoff, will he -- when he heads back to

2:55:32 > 2:55:43university after these games.

2:55:44 > 2:55:48The American Donato has become a legend overnight scoring the most

2:55:48 > 2:55:55goals in the tournament.

2:55:55 > 2:56:07Harford student -- harboured student playing for their country.

2:56:25 > 2:56:32That is loads of space out there now. That will have the eyes of the

2:56:32 > 2:56:36Olympic Athletes from Russia popping up, they thought they could have a

2:56:36 > 2:56:43bit more space out there that they can enjoy and be creative in. Norway

2:56:43 > 2:56:53have possession right now.

2:57:09 > 2:57:14Koshechkin has had to play very hard, but I'm not sure he's one of

2:57:14 > 2:57:22the best.Everything looks difficult for him.

2:57:22 > 2:57:34for him. He could not find the park, it was just behind the net.

2:57:34 > 2:57:37it was just behind the net.The goalie is the biggest in the

2:57:37 > 2:57:40tournament, six foot seven, you would have to do pretty well to miss

2:57:40 > 2:57:45him.

2:57:47 > 2:57:50him. Alway are in control is normally come in with a bit of an

2:57:50 > 2:57:55attack.

2:58:09 > 2:58:14This could be a bigger lead, three or four chances in the first period

2:58:14 > 2:58:23as well. Not taken.

2:58:23 > 2:58:28as well. Not taken. Just taking it easy here.

2:58:34 > 2:58:42Kick save, just a twist of his knees and he was free and open. OAR still

2:58:42 > 2:58:50have possession. Going back to 515.

2:59:10 > 2:59:23The Norwegians have cracked up their intensity.It is all are nothing.

2:59:43 > 2:59:46Norway are second best by some distance. They still have a chance

2:59:46 > 2:59:52to shoot, but they missed the net.

2:59:55 > 2:59:57to shoot, but they missed the net. I know we cannot solve all the

2:59:57 > 3:00:02problems of the world, but we will try to find an explanation over the

3:00:02 > 3:00:06coming 22.5 minutes as to why it has been such a long time since there

3:00:06 > 3:00:19has been success for Russia at a Winter Olympic Games. So many great

3:00:20 > 3:00:23players, yet in Sochi four years ago when they were expected and the

3:00:23 > 3:00:27nation was watching them and wanting them to win gold, the president

3:00:27 > 3:00:34turned up at the Jammes -- turned up at the games, why have the struggle

3:00:34 > 3:00:41to have success?The theory starts with the make-up of their hockey

3:00:41 > 3:00:45teams. There is no doubt, when they put together the rotors, and you

3:00:45 > 3:00:55look at it on paper, they have skill, but it can only take you so

3:00:55 > 3:00:58far. Where Russia lacks a lot of times is that players get in the

3:00:58 > 3:01:07trenches and then win the races and battles to the pucks, ultimately

3:01:07 > 3:01:11getting control of it and from there they get it to the crafty players

3:01:11 > 3:01:18who can then put it in the back of the net.

3:01:18 > 3:01:21When you have players like that, all wonderful players, some of the most

3:01:21 > 3:01:25talented in the world, but they're waiting for someone else to give

3:01:25 > 3:01:32them the puck. And so you can have all the talent in the world, but if

3:01:32 > 3:01:35you don't have the puck on your stick, it makes you pretty

3:01:35 > 3:01:42ineffective.I be the favourites right now for you?Yes, they are.

3:01:42 > 3:01:51Good skating again. Who can push them?

3:01:51 > 3:01:55them?Well, I would say I think the Czech Republic will, I think they

3:01:55 > 3:02:00will pose a little bit of a different opponent in the sense that

3:02:00 > 3:02:03they are a big club, they take away a lot of lanes. Sweden will be good

3:02:03 > 3:02:15too. Those are probably the two who would pose the biggest threat.

3:02:15 > 3:02:19Into the final 40 seconds and Norway have tried to crank up the heat

3:02:19 > 3:02:26here.

3:02:28 > 3:02:31Great pass to Gusev but he could not take it in their stride. They are

3:02:31 > 3:02:36returning the favour, Gusev is a wonderful parser. A little

3:02:36 > 3:02:43acknowledgement, that was, should have done better!It's true, we have

3:02:43 > 3:02:46seen how crisply they pick up passes, you kind of raise your

3:02:46 > 3:02:51eyebrows saying, they macro did not pick that up cleanly.He is not used

3:02:51 > 3:03:01to it, he's used to giving a pass. Norway 5-1 down. They're going to

3:03:01 > 3:03:10find it very difficult to get back into this game. And although you

3:03:10 > 3:03:15never say never, it's highly unlikely that they'll be able to

3:03:15 > 3:03:18find five goals against this very impressive outfit. The Olympics

3:03:18 > 3:03:26athletes from Russia in complete and to control here, Norway struggling.

3:03:26 > 3:03:32OAR lead at the end of two periods by five goals to one.

3:03:32 > 3:03:38STUDIO: it looks like the OAR will be through to the semifinals, the

3:03:38 > 3:03:43Czech Republic going through only with their win over the USA. You

3:03:43 > 3:03:47might remember a few days ago we brought you the story of our ice

3:03:47 > 3:03:51dance couple, Penny Coomes and Nick Buckland. They've had to overcome

3:03:51 > 3:03:58multiple injuries in their career but the worst came 20 months ago

3:03:58 > 3:04:02when Penny shattered any captain to 20 pieces, potentially trigger

3:04:02 > 3:04:07handicap. Here is their free dance from yesterday.

3:04:10 > 3:04:14So, here we go, just over four minutes and this Olympic Jenny will

3:04:14 > 3:04:20be over, through shattered kneecap, 20 months of despair, recovery and

3:04:20 > 3:04:25hope to today. Tenth place at the moment, looking to push up the

3:04:25 > 3:04:28leaderboard and they need to be perfect.

3:07:59 > 3:08:08And that for the lift.Have it looking?-- and that was the lift.

3:08:08 > 3:08:18How is it looking?So far, so good.

3:08:43 > 3:08:48The ultimate story of grit and determination. It has a happy ending

3:08:48 > 3:08:53out on the ice, for now at least. It may not be an medal but this means

3:08:53 > 3:08:56more to them than precious metal. .

3:08:58 > 3:09:02I'm delighted to say they are with me now and you have just watched

3:09:02 > 3:09:09that for the first time! You about analysing yourselves. Tell me your

3:09:09 > 3:09:13critical eye over that, what do you make of it?I'm very pleased to

3:09:13 > 3:09:18that, it's nice to see the Olympic rings in the background and how it

3:09:18 > 3:09:23all comes together.And you just said to me, one of those lists was

3:09:23 > 3:09:28the one that you injured your knee on, and you put it back in the

3:09:28 > 3:09:32programme!I think to do what we do, you have to be a little bit crazy.

3:09:32 > 3:09:40So I wanted to get back and do that lift as soon as possible, not to let

3:09:40 > 3:09:43it, mental issue. I have to do it every day so I didn't want to be

3:09:43 > 3:09:47scared of it.Tell me what the emotions well I. You did a short

3:09:47 > 3:09:50dance and a free dance, which was the most emotional? Was at the first

3:09:50 > 3:09:56one going out there?I think it was, before I stepped out onto the ice

3:09:56 > 3:10:01for the first time, I just had a little cry to myself, because I was

3:10:01 > 3:10:04so proud that I actually made it. There were definitely times when I

3:10:04 > 3:10:08just didn't think that that moment would be possible. And it was what I

3:10:08 > 3:10:12was working towards for so long. So to actually be there about to

3:10:12 > 3:10:18perform at the Olympics, it was so special.And you have had to watch

3:10:18 > 3:10:21her go through all the rehab, it's emotional for you as well?

3:10:21 > 3:10:25Definitely, we worked through the whole thing together from beginning

3:10:25 > 3:10:30to end. We were there on days where I had to pick you up and days when

3:10:30 > 3:10:33you had to pick me up. What we were there together and we got through it

3:10:33 > 3:10:37and we finally made it out and had our moments yesterday.11th is an

3:10:37 > 3:10:40incredible achievement given what you've been through. We had the

3:10:40 > 3:10:47commentary saying that it was about more than the results, wasn't it?

3:10:47 > 3:10:50Yes, our journey was to get to the Olympics, it was about a comeback.

3:10:50 > 3:10:54The whole time I wanted to be an inspiration to young people. I

3:10:54 > 3:10:59wanted to show people that if you get knocked down, you can get back

3:10:59 > 3:11:03up again. I just want to say thank you to UK sport for believing in me

3:11:03 > 3:11:06and everyone who plays the national lottery because you just got me back

3:11:06 > 3:11:13where I belong.It's an incredible story in what you've overcome. Some

3:11:13 > 3:11:19of the last 20 months for you. -- some up the last 20 months.It's
