BBC Two Day 9: GB in Women's Curling Action Winter Olympics

Great Britain 's Izzy Atkin takes

the bronze.

the bronze.

Elise Christie has

crashed yet again and she ends up in

a distraught heap on the floor.

Laura Deas has done all she can.

Lizzy Yarnold wins gold again! Laura

Deas has won bronze as well!

Deas has won bronze as well!

Well,

we have always caught our breath

after that incredible day yesterday.

There is no rest at the Winter

Olympics. We are right back into it.

Good morning from the balcony where

it is another beautiful day in Peel

Chang and if the last eight days are

anything to go by, we are in for

another nail-biting day of sporting

drama. Here is what is coming up in

the next few hours. Eve Muirhead 's

team have a tough task ahead of them

this morning.

They take on an unbeaten

Swedish side.

Can the great Marcel Hirscher

grab his second gold of the Games?

He goes in the spectacular

Men's Giant Slalom.

We'll be back on the rink

for more Ice Hockey.

A win for the Czech Republic over

the Swiss will see them

through to the semifinals.

And we'll reflect on an amazing day

for Team GB, we'll have a trio

of medal-carrying talent with us

on the balcony this morning.

If you were watching on BBC One you

will have seen the great British

women are in curling action against

Sweden and we will head straight

there. We also have giant slalom for

the men with martial inertia going

for a second goal syrup Young Chang

Ko. Then there's the ice hockey

deceive the Czech Republic or

Switzerland can make it through to

the quarterfinals and we will

reflect on what was a incredible day

in British Winter Olympic history.

Our first medal on skis and our

first athlete to defend their

Olympic title in first in Britain

have won two medals in the same

event and the first time they have

won three Olympic medals on the same

day. It was absolutely breathless

stuff. We will have all three

medallists from yesterday on the

balcony today so if you have any

questions for Izzy Atkin, Lizzie

Yarnold or Laura Deas, get them in

using our hash tag. If you were

watching on BBC One, the GB women

are in

curling action. They had three wins

and two defeats on the way into this

one. It is against Sweden who are

unbeaten here in Pyeongchang and

have picked up two golds and a

silver in the last three Winter

Olympics. A really tough test for

Eve Muirhead and her rink and it

hasn't started particularly well for

the Brits. They are trailing, so let

us ahead to the Ice Arena and join

our commentary team for the

remainder of

our commentary team for the

remainder of that match, it is

Jackie Lockhart and Steve Cram. If

you joined us a few minutes ago it

was 3-0 to Sweden but they picked up

two in that fourth end. It was an

opportunity that even had to make a

double takeout. She was left the

option of the shot by Anna Hassall

baulk and it looked as though we

might only have the chance to get

one but it was a great shot from Eve

Muirhead which was good because she

had just missed a double takeout and

that was why Switzerland picked up a

point. That will have given it a lot

of confidence.

Yes, she just missed

a double on the other end so to make

that and lie in two that will have

raced her confidence. A really great

performance there from Eve because

she played two really good stones in

the last end to pick up her to

because they were looking at a

dangerous situation, albeit the

Swedish stones were all at the back

of the house and they made good use

of the red stones and they did just

that.

This was always going to be a

tough match with Sweden in such good

form, winning their first four

matches and they started this match

just like that.

just like that. Eve Muirhead getting

Britain back in this match. So

important to do. They just have to

get past the centre line and Sweden

have the hammer. Lauren Gray as the

lead.

She needed to be a little bit

closer to the house. Halfway would

have been good. It is a very high

God. She will need to keep her head

in the game. We got two and it would

be nice to force the one there.

be nice to force the one there.

They

have had three very close matches,

the Swedish team, they won won

comfortably and they had two that

went to an extra end. Their last

three matches have only had one shot

in it at the end. They are four and

zero but it has not been easy.

None

of these games were ever going to be

easy but it is all about who has the

patience and who is holding their

nerve and who can hold it right to

the last end because it can often

come to that last stone of that last

end.

end.

These four pretty much live and

train together up in Stirling and

this Olympic Games, although the

other championships they won gold in

December and they beat Sweden.

They

beat this team so they know each

other's game very well and this year

alone I think they have played

against each other five times and

Eve is winning these three and Anna

Hasselborg has 12-macro.

Hasselborg has 12-macro.

Pretty much

a full house with career playing.

There is a lot of support for them

said there could be some cheers at

odd times as we watch this match and

concentrate on this one. Korea are

playing China over on the far side

and Canada have a crunch match

against Switzerland. A crunch match

for both of those teams really. This

one is building nicely for Sweden.

Vicki said there that she prefers

the draw because she knows what the

weight is. She is going to try and

come on top of this Swedish stones.

It can come in there and just sit on

top of it. Three would be a nice

stone.

If you are just getting up to

this on a Sunday morning,

approaching the halfway point in

this match.

this match. This one just needs to

get around that front guard. It is a

long way out there, they will have

to sweep this a lot of it is to get

close here. A lot of work to do and

malign was good. They worked really

hard, really hard. Good try. The

second shot is right in line so they

will take that guard away. The team

with the hammer likes to have a nice

clear look at the house if they can.

Yes, the girls did a really good job

getting that one in for the second

shot.

We are going to see Great Britain

continued to put on some sort of

guard here.

. With that red is still

there it is tricky for Sweden so Eve

Muirhead once Anna Sloan to almost

replace the position in terms of on

the line that that previous guard

was that, much closer to the house.

You can hear they are shouting

three, that means it is closer to

the house. It just over curls but

had to. Just over that line. That

will mean that we can see that.

Anna Hasselborg just looking at the

angle here and which one she could

it which one she can go for.

it which one she can go for. She

will not want to jam anything here.

This is the weight... She's playing

with a bit more weight there.

I

think she is actually going for the

shot in the house and she just wants

to chip it out and that is exactly

what she is done.

I thought it might

catch the front guard there. I

thought she was going to chip it out

and I didn't know she would play it

with as much weight as that.

Confidently done and expertly done.

She has been superb so far. She has

had a great game so far.

Still

sitting in 97% at the moment.

She

was a good junior player. The sister

was skip to her first when her

sister moved out of the junior ranks

and she was a skip as a junior. She

played vice skipper and she is

probably yes future skip although

she is only two years younger than

Anna. When she is playing as well as

that... Can McRae needs to catch a

little bit just to take the weight

off it. We are going to leave that

sitting out.

Yes, just that

difference I was speaking about

earlier, that little delicate

precision weights that you

definitely need to lead them a

little lighter and let your sweepers

stake the mean for you. The bounds

there has left us out in the open.

You limit them to one, fair enough

at the halfway point if you are two

down, you can easily pick up two at

the next but three down, it is a

long way to go. The Swedish team is

playing very well. Just catch is

that one a little flush and you

wanted to roll in the little. There

is a chance there. Is still a chance

here for evil to maybe lift a couple

and roll across. She really has no

other option here. She has to clear

something out of the house, damage

limitation at the moment.

She had a nice double takeout to

pick up two in the previous end. She

played two previous shots on

previous to that, when Sweden stole

one, it was still a good shot from

Eve Muirhead. She could do this by

anymore. Just maybe half a

centimetre.

Eve is actually trying

to lift three of these Swedish

yellow stone is out of the house.

If

possible she is trying to sit and it

looks narrow. She caught it a little

thin.

It has jammed right in a

narrow position for Sweden.

They

still have three there.

still have three there. Eve needs to

be really careful here. Really

careful. We are only in the fifth

and butter pure shot -- a poor shot

from Eve Muirhead and we could be in

real trouble.

Sweden also have to be careful where

they put this stone here because Eve

were at the possibility of a draw

around and behind them but that is a

big call for her because she will

be, when she comes to play, facing

four I should think yellow stones

from Sweden here. They are not

lifting the pressure at all.

So, Anna Hasselborg with a great

opportunity here. Look at that. A

take out is 100% and a draw is 94%.

Just to give you an indication. The

third and fourth for Sweden have not

missed a thing. Eve Muirhead is

going to be facing a situation here

with Sweden with four in there.

The

stone is a little heavy but they are

happy to take it to the very back.

Keep going, it might go out. It is

going to just hang on at the back.

Just. They must be worried for a

second there.

Yes, they were, they

slightly over three that but the

girls who were sweeping called on

very quickly and decided it was much

safer for them to have it right at

the back and if they had left in the

back four it was something for Eve

to freeze too. Even although Sweden

have made an error with that shot,

Eve still has only, I think, a draw

here.

They have four in the house. We have

one more stone left. They have got

another stone. If Eve gets this very

wrong, you could face five.

So Eve is going to come down the

same side is that stone from

Hasselborg, but needs to be much

more accurate.

more accurate.

They really need to

be behind the yellow stone of

Sweden.

Sweden.

This needs to be a doozy.

This is an important shot.

This is an important shot. Where are

not hearing anything.

Eve is not

saying much.

That's a great shot. It is tucked in

behind those two stones, one in

front, one of the top of the four

foot. But she has just seen the line

and she needs to make this.

That was

a well swept stone. I was worried

when I didn't hear the girls

shouting.

Now, it depends how greedy she gets

here.

here. It has to be moved first of

all. She can't do anything else. It

is not easy to move it from anything

in front. It's too risky. So she is

taking a little bit less ice there.

She will have to connect with it to

move it back. Even if it's only a

two here for Sweden, it increases

their lead. First and foremost, she

has to connect with the stones.

She

still has the chance of a four.

If she gets rid of it completely,

that might be the match. It would be

7-2. She has changed her mind.

Is

she going to chip that out?

Oh, a

little look from the team watching.

This is a brave shot.

They can see

the line better than us, but this is

a brave call.

I think she is

thinking, if we get this out, it is

match over at 7-2. A massive core

here from Anna Hasselborg, the

Swedish skip, looking to catch the

thinnest of edge of this British

stone. She has to miss her own and

catch the red. And she has missed.

Well! Get out of jail, Great

Britain. What a shot from Eve

Muirhead. She asked the question,

and Anna Hasselborg walked into

that, I wouldn't say it was a trap,

but she missed the chance to pick up

four. It was a risky shots, but it

means that at the halfway point, we

are tied 3-3 after five ends. If you

had told me that 60 seconds ago, I

would have laughed at you.

That was

a real get out of jail free card.

That is a great result in the end

for Great Britain. That is the

halfway point. It is all tied up.

STUDIO: A great fightback from Eve

Muirhead in her rink to take it to

3-3 at the end of the fifth end.

They go for a short break now, so we

are going to stay on the ice because

in amongst the joy of yesterday,

there was agony in more ways than

one for Elise Christie. Not only did

she get penalised as she crashed out

of the 1500m in the short track, but

she also injured herself. She was

stretchered off the ice and taken to

hospital. Luckily, the broken bones

for Elise Christie and she has

released pictures on social media of

her sporting some new footwear.

Hopefully, that will do the job and

she can be back on the ice for the

1000m, which is her favoured race.

That starts on Tuesday. We wish her

all the best in her recovery. After

the drama of the sliding centre

yesterday, the Brits are back on the

ice today. It is the start of the

two-man bob. Britain is piloted by

Brad Hall. They have had an

indifferent start to the training

run, which is pretty much a

reflection of Britain's history in

the Winter Olympics in the two-man

bob. The last gold medal came way

back in 1964. This is a little look

back through the Winter Olympics

archives.

Tony Nash and Robin Dixon.

I was an athlete once.

I was an athlete once. In those

days, particularly, I had supreme

self-confidence. Nothing was going

to happen to Dixon bummer he was all

right.

I loved the speed, yes.

This is a

really fast run by the Britons.

That

was 54 years ago, blimey. Am I the

gold?

-- am I that old? The

partnership of Tony Nash and Robin

Dixon was built on speed. They were

to become Britain's only gold

medallists in bobsleigh, but the

path to the top of the podium wasn't

smooth.

I wasn't scared about it at

all. It wasn't fast enough to be

that scared. I used to check our

sled. I would go up with the sled to

the start. I had this thing turned

over and was looking at it and I

knew that one of the polls had

broken. That landed us in trouble.

The problem was, with the number of

people about, we couldn't get to

another poll. But in the course of

talking about it, the Italian said,

send someone down to the bottom.

After I had done my run, I will take

the bolt out and you can take it to

the start.

The people who could help

us out people we were most likely to

beat, and knew it.

But it was the

gesture of Monte and comradeship and

sportsmanship, of taking his bolt

out and been prepared to lend it to

a serious competitor.

I'm ashamed to

say that I would have done something

different.

Despite the drama, Nash

and Dixon ended day one in the lead.

But overnight, the weather changed

and the pair found themselves

slipping down the rankings.

The last

run we did was the slowest of the

four runs we did. When we got to the

bottom, we thought, we will be in

third place.

After the race was

apparently over, Tony and I were

having a coffee in the restaurant at

the bottom of the run and a number

of our colleagues and friends said,

what are you two BLEEP doing here?

You have won this race! Get out

there.

They could tell at the

halfway mark whether we were in

first or second

first or second or third by the

Times of the people behind us. When

they came down slower, we knew we

had a medal and then Monte, 11 times

world champion, couldn't beat us. So

we knew from then on, and the party

started.

What was it like for you to

look at the Union Jack?

It was the

fulfilment of an enormous ambition

and no doubt the proudest moment of

my life.

That didn't go up very

often in the Winter Olympics, and it

went up for us. It was quite a

moment. And you have worked over the

years to get there and you can't

take that away.

It took us about 50

years to get the first one, so I

don't know how long it will take to

get the second one.

I love those old

archive pictures of the bobsleigh.

Team GB will get their two-man bob

under way today. The first one is at

11.05 today. The final runs will be

tomorrow. We are going to head back

to the curling, but if you fancy

watching the men's cross-country

relay, that will be on the red

button. Sweden are the two-time

defending champions. But stick with

us if you want to see what is

happening in the curling, because

Team GB's women have had an amazing

fightback over the first half of

this match against one of the big

favourites, Sweden, so let's head

back and see if they can see out

this match with Jackie Lockhart and

Steve Cram.

Yes, it's an exciting match. It is

on a knife edge here, Great Britain

with a steel. They are in the fifth,

which was handed to them by Anna

Hasselborg. She went to try and

catch the red stone that was the

scene there. They could have picked

up four, but they missed and Britain

got the steal. It was a nice shots

from Eve Muirhead to create that

situation the end before that. It

has been a good comeback. The

Swedish team are playing very well,

so I think the beer halfway point

level, Sweden with the hammer in the

sixth, but they have it all to play

for.

They are really going to have

to step up the next five ends. We

have been facing a lot of yellow

Swedish stones out there, but even

has pulled -- Eve has pulled the

girls out of the bag a couple of

times.

times.

Just a quick update

elsewhere. There could be handshakes

early in the match between Korea and

China. Korea are red hot at the

moment. They are 10-2 up after five

ends over China. You can't shake

after six ends, so that might not go

much further. China have the hammer

in the sixth end. And at the halfway

point in the match between Canada

and Switzerland, who are way down

the table compared to where they

would expect to be, that is tied. It

is 4-4.

So there are nine matches, ten teams

in all in the competition. The top

four ranked teams go into the

semifinal. That ranking is based on

your win loss record. If you have a

record and more than two teams are

tied, the results in the round robin

then come into play, as well as the

last stone draws, the draw they make

before they start each end to

determine who has the hammer. If

there are teams tied for the final

spot when they do the rankings,

there will be a tie-break match to

break the tie.

break the tie. Jackie, six wins will

pretty much get you into the

semifinals. Five wins maiden

pretty much get you into the

semifinals. Five wins maiden. It can

knock you out as well, but you would

have a chance of either qualifying

or at least being in the tie-break.

Great Britain have lost a couple of

matches they would have expected to

win in the first five, so they have

three wins, two losses. So this

match is crucial. More so for Great

Britain and Sweden.

Britain and Sweden. Vicki Adams and

Anna Sloan have to help Eve Muirhead

out here.

Yeah, we have started this

end a lot stronger. Sweden, of

course, with the hammer now, but not

lying quite as well as they were in

the last end.

They started the last

end really well. They always had two

or three in the house. Without any

British stones in there. They are

just getting rid of the centre

guard.

Agnes Knochenhauer is playing

second. Anna Sloan actually played a

couple of nice shots in the previous

end to try and help out. It seems

that even when Britain have played a

good shot it is matched or bettered

by Sweden.

Little bit higher here.

It is coming. I thought it might jam

on the back one but it was well

controlled.

controlled.

Sara McManus hasn't

missed anything really. It is just a

couple of errant shots from the skip

over the last couple of ends that

has allowed Britain to get

themselves back in it. Take outs

100% Sara McManus. Looking for a

double takeout here.

double takeout here.

She is going to

keep her record at the moment.

She

has been marvellous, really good.

Sweden with this great record at the

Olympic Games.

Olympic Games. They have had two

gold medals in silver last time with

a different team and then team here.

One of the medal favourites. It has

to be said, along with Great

Britain. Let us not forget that. It

is not as though these teams are

considerably better than us. Great

Britain are definitely one of the

favourites here, bronze last time

around. Anna Sloan, that was almost

right. It rolled a little further

than she wanted.

Yes, she wanted to

get that on the nose and get the

separation there but she was a

little light. She got an edge and it

rolled across so this is an

opportunity now for Sweden to coming

to these stones, sit high of them,

and use them as protection.

I think from this point in, don't

give away two or three, or three or

anything silly, keep close to Sweden

here. When you get the last two or

three ends anything can happen.

That

is another nice shot there from Sara

McManus.

. Can't see anything, I don't think.

She is just asking whether she can

see that stone. Just wondering

whether she might be able to pick

it. It is going to be a tight shot.

I don't think so.

These are the

shots you have got to make if you

want to pick up your two. Great

Britain are now going to try and

drive that yellow across the face of

it and threw between the two read

some roll out the other yellow to

the other side.

Eve Muirhead has

made some really good shots over the

last couple of ends. So unlucky back

in the third end. She is watching

this intently and they won't be too

far away, this one. What a shot. A

wonderful shot from Eve Muirhead. It

looks good all the way down and that

has ended up brilliantly... In a

brilliant position there. The two

stone still sitting there and it

squeezed the Swedish stone through

the gap and just caught enough of it

and the British stone sitting out

front as well. All of that helps.

Two stone is left for Sweden,

however Eve Muirhead still has one

to come as well.

She has been

playing, the last few shots she has

played very well. She is making

every shot at the moment.

You see on

the team stats that certainly on the

draw is that Sweden are doing much

better than Great Britain. I think

that is more when there was two or

three early on from Vicky and Anna

and Eve missed one early on. These

stats won't matter so much if this

score stays in Britain 's favour.

Well, ends up in Britain 's favour,

we won't worry about how the stats

look. It won't change the match.

Anna Hasselborg is testing her draw

weight here. Broome

they where we

want any bounce here, just sit on

it.

That just knocks the British

stone touch.

It is a nice attempt

but he's still have the opportunity

here of catching the right-hand side

of it as we see it and chipping it

out.

If they give up the one here or

you would probably look at the

situation you were in three ends ago

and say you have the hammer back and

we are one behind. It would be a

testimony to how well they have

played in the last few ends,

certainly for Eve Muirhead. However,

she has to make this.

she has to make this. She looks a

little worried this time. Too late

to sweep. She has done well. Done

very well indeed, Eve Muirhead. She

played some nice shots. Robredo last

five or six stones have been

excellent so Eve Muirhead leaving no

option there. If she can blank this,

of course. She certainly could take

one if she wanted but stopping them

scoring two was the first job.

It

was, and that was a really good end

there from Great Britain.

there from Great Britain.

If she

doesn't get this right she could jam

this. There was a red sitting there

just at the back.

She is just going

to play a draw.

I wondered if they

would be thinking about that read at

the back. Tier I wondered if she

might try and chip it out and go for

a blank end but it was really too

difficult so she has just chosen to

do the right thing and draw it for

our one. So, Sweden leave -- lead is

now, 4-3, however, that is almost a

mod or a victory for Great Britain

there, they have clawed their way

back into this, they will have the

hammer in the next end and there is

only one shot if it and Sweden are

leading it so it will be a really

tight affair you get the feeling

between now and the 10 cents. After

six Great Britain Trail by one.

I can tell you that over on sheet D,

this matches being played on Bay. No

worries on sheet a today. Always

there are some teams that are not

playing in the Round Robin scenario.

There are ten teams. Korea are 10-2

up against China. After six ends

China can decide to walk off if they

want to. They do have the hammer in

the sick so we will see how that is

progressing. It is still 4-4 in the

sixth end between Canada and

Switzerland.

Switzerland. This is Sofia Mabergs.

She is the lead for Sweden. We

haven't talked about her because all

the action has been at the backend,

if you like, at each end but it is

important that the lead also sets it

up nicely.

You never quite know what even

thinking, do you? She has learned to

try and control those emotions that

were so prevalent in her early

career. She has been in this

situation, of course, it is her

third Olympics, multiple World

Championships and European

Championships, not to mention the

tour. She has been under the

spotlight for so much of her career.

Yes, and I think they have brought

in a sports psychologist to use in

the last couple of years and I think

that is probably one of the things

that she has done. She has said that

sometimes out on the ice you wear

your heart on your sleeve and you

can show your emotions and as much

as you don't want to lose the

aggression and the emotion that you

have got, it is how you control it

and manage it and I definitely see a

more professional side of her. She

showed a little bit of it yesterday

but today, this game could have been

way different to 4-3 at the moment

if Sweden had made a couple of their

shots, and I am sure Eve was feeling

they were not quite in it but they

are in it and she has changed

attitude and they are going to keep

digging here.

With the hammer here

they obviously still need to

concentrate, like you said, even

though you think you have done well,

you can't think about that and you

are still up against and you are one

down and you have the hammer in the

odd ends and they have the mini even

ends and that is never the best

position to be in. It may well

change, of course. A nice hit and

roll played by Sofia Mabergs. Lauren

Gray is trying to follow here.

She

has to get past that top guard.

Even

saying they are past it, keep on it

and they did. Nicely done.

and they did. Nicely done. China

actually picked up two in that six,

then, so they decided that gave them

enough encouragement to keep going

so 10- for that match. We would have

known if it had ended because the

cheers would have been ringing

around the arena here. Doing a quick

estimate we reckon more than 50,000

people have watched curling so far

at the Winter Olympics here in this

arena, the Guiyang curling arena and

we still have a few days to go.

We

have been very lucky to have great

crowds here in the Ice Arena, at the

curling rink. It certainly adds to

the atmosphere. The players also

like the full arenas and the

atmosphere around about them.

Yesterday there was a chance going,

which is good. I know it is not

normal in curling unnecessarily. You

played a lot in Canada where they

are a bit more boisterous but it is

usually quite polite and calm.

I am

not sure that the crowds who

actually curlers themselves so there

are or to cheers at the wrong time

but they have actually been very

respectful of the players down on

the ice.

the ice. The girls, Vicky, deciding

to change their minds here and clear

the guard. I think this is a really

good call because at the end of the

day that God will be the one that is

a danger to them, especially when

they have got the hammer.

They just caught it. Nicely done by

Vicki Adams.

Vicki Adams. If you are just getting

up on a Sunday morning, it is

Sunday, isn't it? Just checking!

Yes.

I think it is, yes.

You keep

losing track.

Everyday is a Saturday

at the moment expect

what about a

day to start your Saturday than a

bit of -- Sunday than a bit of

curling. Ease yourself into the day.

Hopefully this British team will get

the victory here against Sweden. The

men had a great battle against

Sweden, didn't they, in their Round

Robin. To be fair the Swedish

Robin. To be fair the Swedish men's

team is doing incredibly well.

Yes,

they are outstanding.

I was reading

the Anna Hasselborg made her

international debut in the European

mixed event back in 2008 with

Nicholas Dean.

. Oh.

It wasn't mixed

doubles, it was the open mixed

Championships.

I think also Anna

Hasselborg in Eve Muirhead met way

back in 2009 in the junior event so

they have played against each other

for a very long time now.

They are

about the same age and I think Anna

Hasselborg is maybe one year older.

Not enough to take that out of the

house. But she has moved it out of

shot position. An opportunity here

for Sweden to come back, tap that

red read out of the house. But they

shouldn't cause us any trouble if we

can get our stones in front of them.

She's missed nothing, Sara McManus.

She's played very well. Stats still

sitting at 98%. I am sure she would

be wishing she had thrown the last

rock.

The girls wanted to take that yellow

stone of the centre bummer because

that was going to be a danger to

them. And when you have the hammer,

you want to keep the four foot open.

So she hasn't hit it that good and

now Sweden are going to come around

behind the.

She looked a little anxious there

for the first time. She has normally

been very happy with delivery. I'm

not sure she has much to worry

about.

about. A nice stone.

They could have

afforded to take two stones more.

A

bit of a story developing on the

next sheet because Switzerland are

leading Canada 7-4, with still four

ends to go. That is as much of a

crunch match as this is for Great

Britain. A defeat for either of

those two teams makes it very

difficult for them to have

qualification in their own hands.

Great Britain play Canada in their

final match. They are one of the

gold medal favourites.

gold medal favourites.

That is a

nice result, getting rid of these

two back stones.

two back stones.

Just catches enough

of it.

Just listening to those two chatting

away. They are discussing what they

think Hasselborg is going to do. Eve

would love to have even the chance

of making her two to get the

advantage back. Tied up would be the

minimum.

Anna Hasselborg is not quite

finishing off the shots as she would

want to.

That is why we are in this

situation. She hasn't played

anything terrible, it has just not

been sticking when she has wanted to

stick. It has rolled a couple of

times.

Again, a glimmer of an opportunity

for Eve Muirhead.

for Eve Muirhead.

She wants to

remove this back yellow but she

wants to make sure she stays in the

house.

house. It is going to go to a blank

end. That is a great result for us,

because we can carry over the hammer

into the eighth end and try and get

a score of two in the eighth end.

The even end that you want to get

your hammer on.

The other option for

Hasselborg would be to make Eve take

two here and keep the hammer for

Sweden in the eighth and tenth.

Great Britain would be leading.

You're right, she's going to remove

this British stone. That would

result in a blank end. She's maybe

thinking, if I can make Eve Muirhead

make a mistake, there is a chance

that that happens. The mistake here

would be for Eve Muirhead to hit

this stone in such a way that she

stayed in the house and took her

one. She doesn't want to do that.

She wants to take the Swedish stones

out, but also leave the house with

her own stone.

her own stone. The black the end

means they carry the last stone

advantage into the eighth end, and

that could be a crucial eighth end.

It's fair to say that there has been

a momentum shift towards Great

Britain, even though we are still

one down. There is work to be done.

But when you are one down with three

to play and you have the hammer in

the eighth and tenth, you wouldn't

be too disappointed to be in that

position, particularly with what

they were facing when it was 3-2 and

there were four Swedish stones

sitting in the house. This is much

better, and they are playing better.

Yeah, we are in a good position. I

think the girls are glad they are

back in it. This is definitely there

is for the taking.

Eve has done

well. She has pulled the team

together. She has used her

shotmaking to set the example.

Curling is never just about the

skips, but the skipper has all of

the big shots, the crucial shots to

make. And the difference in the last

few ends, the third and was the one

where we got the steal, I think that

was a bad decision from Hasselborg.

Yeah, because she came down the end

and then decided she saw a different

shot and went up and changed her

mind.

mind.

But strategy would say, if you

make the shot, it's the right call,

if you don't make the shot, it's the

wrong call. Let's see if we can

build on this end. To pick up a two

would be really good for Great

Britain.

Britain. Nice corner guard from

Lauren Gray, the sister of our

co-commentator Logan Gray, who has

the afternoon off today.

But he is

here, watching.

He is in the

audience, supporting his sister.

audience, supporting his sister. She

has had a great start to this

competition. She has set up Eve

well. Gain the masses of experience

being the fifth man for Eve back in

Sochi, 2014.

Sochi, 2014. She didn't join the

team straight after Sochi. She went

away and did her own thing and then

a year later, she got the call from

the girls to come back and join the

team and they have been together now

for the last couple of years.

for the last couple of years.

The

Swedish team are similar.

Sofia Mabergs only started to play

in 2015-16, but since then they have

done well. Silver medal in the 2016

European Championships. Eve had gone

all the way through the round robin

and though they were beaten by

Russia in the semifinal and Russia

went on to win the gold medal. Under

OAR, as they are here, are not

having a great competition.

That is

a bit unfortunate. They were trying

to get the shot in the house. She

has kept a shooter in the house.

That Swedish stone could be in a

tricky position.

tricky position. Knochenhauer said

her nickname is

her nickname is Aggie, given to her

by her Scottish friends. Was it you?

No. They are a lucky bunch of girls.

All of these teams down here play

each other in the world to all of

the time, so there are great

friendships across the curling

world. But when they get on the ice,

everybody is desperate for that win.

She was the alternate, this same as

Lauren, in Sochi.

Lauren, in Sochi. We keep talking

about the alternate. It is not just

the kind of substitute. They rarely

get used in that way. Something has

to go horribly wrong if you have to

bring your alternate on to play.

The

alternate has a huge role to play in

this team. Throughout their

training, they will practise to play

in every position, because they

could be called on to cover the

lead, the second, the third, even

the skipper. So they practise all

the positions throughout the season

they will play. But when they come

to this competition, it is the team

themselves that will play. The main

role of the alternate is, at night

time they come on and they practise

and they throw the stones on the

sheet you will play in. So they

match the stones for the team. They

are also therefore support and

guidance and making sure everybody

has everything they need.

has everything they need. They are

also spotting the other players that

they are going to be facing in the

next game and checking the stones

that they play.

that they play.

So far, they are not

getting the stones to stay in

exactly the place they want them to

hear. Eve Muirhead is seeing if she

can get one to hit and rolling

behind the yellow.

That was a bit flush. It does remove

the back one.

the back one. China continues to

hang on. They have stolen one in the

seventh, so the 10-5 against Korea.

That is why it has gone quiet here.

I wouldn't worry too much if I were

the Korean supporters. 10-5 with

three to go.

China are hanging on by

their fingernails at the moment.

So Scotland's... Apologies!

You do

that once a day!

I keep getting away

with saying that, because all of

these girls are from Scotland, but

they were selected for GB team. The

whole of the UK can put forward an

approval to try and play for the

Great Britain team. But all of these

girls selected for their match and

performance. Where are facing three

Swedish stones here, but if we get a

nice hit and roll, just like that,

that helps set us up.

It will still be visible, I think,

to Sweden but that was a great

attempt there.

Just having a quick

look. What ever shot was available

for Sarah McManus, I would be

backing her to make it, she has been

absolutely superb year. She

absolutely superb year. She is 26.

She has played with Anna Hasselborg

Agnes Knochenhauer since the junior

days. Now, how she got this right?

They are working hard, really hard.

Scraped by. Again.

That was very,

very close there. Well swept by the

girls.

Yes... The point is, that is

what you play for. To make that shot

like that she has got to be that

close to the guard. It is risky and

that is why they are sweeping. She

yet again plays a great shot for

Sweden.

Still a great opportunity

for us if we can pull one in round

behind the two yellow cards. We

really need it to be heading.

Just

has to settle down here, just got to

settle down. It is trying hard to

pull. Once it has passed that line,

it just lies shot. They might try

and coming closer.

and coming closer. Anna Sloan 's

four draws of 44% accuracy, she

won't want to see that. Take outs

have been very good, but look at the

figures McManus there. She is

probably thinking, why are we not

winning this about 6-2 because,

goodness me, I set the skip up.

Tiny, tiny little margins of error

has made the difference. Anna

Hasselborg is going to have to come

in here with a draw and sit just on

top of the GB read that Anna Sloan

played.

This is where she can be very, very

good but just a couple of her shots,

she hasn't played any real shockers,

but it is just becoming a little bit

more difficult for the Swedish skip

to find the correct placement. This

one has got a chance.

This one has

pulling up. Does she have enough

weight to keep it going right to the

back? Again that was a great sweep

there by her team. Eve Muirhead is

just going to have to follow that

and do a similar shot.

She's just

looking for the right amount of ice

there.

there.

I often wonder how these two

skips mentally match up each other

against each other. They have played

each other many times and what I

have seen is quite often evil have

the upper hand. It may not always

look like it in the game but

mentally I think sometimes Amer

thinks it is evil and she has lost a

few times to her and she kind of

keeps doing that.

I think, Eve,

since the fast few ends has played

really well and, as we keep saying,

although Anna Hasselborg has played

decent shots, just when it comes to

the last shot she is not quite

getting it when she wants it and she

gives Eve the opportunity and I

think it was an error of judgment

which went on at four but

nonetheless she is forced into those

situations and it was a great shot

by Eve before that and here she is

going to tap that back. They are

lying shot. That is in a very good

position in Eve Muirhead. Not so

easy to move it.

easy to move it.

Yes, Eve is playing

some really wonderful shots here.

I

am not sure how she can move it. She

has one stone left, the Swedish

skip, Great Britain would love to

get the two here, and Eve Muirhead

finding her format just the right

time. A of work still to be done

here so the Swedish team are all

coming to see. It is one thing

knowing where you want to hit it but

it is another thing making the shot.

They think they can spring this. It

is fairly skinny again, very tight.

She doesn't see much of it. It is a

big call and if she doesn't catch

enough of it all she will do is jam

it.

If she catches... And think she

is probably thinking, I am more

likely to get it thin than heavy and

if I do get it then it is a good

shot. If I don't catch too much of

it it will jam but the other issue

is that if she misses it altogether

she will go straight through. Anna

Hasselborg then, trying to prevent

Britain having the chance of two

here. It has got a chance, it has

got a chance. She has played a great

shot. She played a very, very good

shot. It worked out perfectly well.

She now forces Great Britain to take

the one.

Yes, stones in the house in

Eve Muirhead is going to have to

come in and tie this up. Not quite

what we wanted but Britain will

still have the hammer in the final

end.

That will be a little boost

therefore Anna Hasselborg. That will

of made up for the shot that she

wanted to check out a couple of

errands ago and she would just have

given herself a little added

confidence to say, I have done it, I

am back in form.

She had more room

for error there but on the other

shot but nevertheless she made it

and did it well. It would be great

if that first shot from Eve had

frozen right on top of that stone,

there was just enough room. Eve

Muirhead is going in here thought

the forefoot, hopefully.

Were

controlled by the girls, we just

need to stop short in the house and

pick up one. Lovely stone.

Another

good end from Great Britain and it

almost worked out exactly as they

wanted the two but a great shot from

the Swedish skip limits Great

Britain to just the once over

matches all tied up again at 4-4

after eight and is. Sweden with the

hammer in the ninth.

Well, you can see the other matches

as well. There was a bit of a chat

going on in this one between the

British girls in the Swedish team

are also getting together before

they head down. The two skips will

head down to the far end. Canada did

Paul two back so it is 7-6 on that

one is far from over. Switzerland

have the hammer in the eighth in

that one. China are still trying to

keep their match going to stay alive

in the match against Korea, the

hosts. It is 10-5 and Korea have the

hammer in the eighth.

Here we go. Lauren Gray, leading the

way. The script is that if you want

to win this you really have to win

it in the tent. If you don't win in

the tent, if you tie it in the

tenth, then you go to an extra end

and Sweden would have the hammer in

the extra end and you don't we want

that to happen so the plan would be

to limit Sweden to one here and

maybe even get the steel but you

limit them to one and you hopefully

have a chance of two in the final

end. I think essentially you play

the stone is the way they are and

you have to be aware of that and the

situation that you are in that you

are tied up here. Two steals and you

win it. There are all sorts of

commutations.

Yes, plenty of

permutations. Sweden are choosing to

draw one into the house, put it in

the back of the house. Yes, they

will be quite happy for it to just

it there. Of course, we don't have

the hammer here so we will try

desperately hard to block up the

front.

Well you can hear applause because

the match has finally finished

between Korea and China. Korea have

picked up two and closed it out 12-5

and they are now sitting in a great

position in the round robin and

Great Britain have three wins and

two losses they really want to close

this one out against Sweden. It has

been a great match, a really good

match with good play and Sweden in

particular have been making the

shots. But Great Britain it has been

Eve Muirhead who has been keeping

the team going and keeping them in

this match. I hope they don't all go

home.

I think they might.

They will

get in the queue at the store.

Yes,

this Olympic Games, the park has

been very busy. Huge queues for the

food in the souvenir tents.

Two

hours we reckon.

And all the free

areas you can go into, it has been

very well attended.

very well attended.

The Korean team

you can see in the background are

just acknowledging the cheers from

their supporters. Plenty of them in

here. It might just empty out a

little bits are the guys have to

concentrate. A lot of activity in

the stands.

the stands.

This one looks a little

heavy but the weight comes off it

and we will get a bigger poll. Just

need it to sit.

need it to sit.

Just hangs on. That

might be significant later. I am not

sure how long it will stay there.

Sweden are going to take this front

Gardos. -- guard off. Agnes

Knochenhauer.

If you were not with us early on, I

was remarking on the fact that the

two of them on a Agnes Knochenhauer

and Anna Hasselborg have exactly the

same birthday, to the day and year,

so they have played with each other

since junior days and this is a

really well drilled team and a team

on the form that they are showing at

the moment that anybody is going to

have a job to beat them so no

surprise that Britain are having a

fight here.

fight here.

Yes, this is the first

of several tough games that Great

Britain have got to face in the

latter stages of this Olympic games.

Oh, we just bounced off. Only wanted

to sit on the nose about one, no

bounds, so she can't remove it. --

really wanted to sit on the nose of

that one, no bounce, so she can't

remove it.

Agnes Knochenhauer is

doing all right with the take outs.

She has been struggling with draw

weight.

You can see where she wants it to

go.

I think that is what I like

about the television coverage of

this game, you get almost get up

close and personal with the players

and you can hear them speaking to

one another. No idea what they are

saying though because I am not very

good with my Swedish! But the

strategy of the game is something

that we do know and these girls were

just wanting to check if they hit it

here, where will go? If I catch this

one, what will happen with Matt

this

might just be a flush.

Just looking

for a tiny bit of rollover, which

she does get.

Eve Muirhead has the

chance. Why would she just want to

tap into the back of the four foot,

just so they can come in on top of

it? Gimmickry yes, Swedish stones in

the back four so at some point she

can come in a freeze on them and

make it very difficult for Sweden to

pick up their two. Potentially even

though we might

have to try for a

steel here and I know that gives the

opposition the hammer in the next

end but you really have to battle

hard to try and stop them from

getting the two.

You don't want to bounce off it,

though. This is going to roll off.

She has done OK, though. They will

be something we can perhaps use. It

is creating options for yourself.

is creating options for yourself.

It

is obvious that it is making Sweden

think as well. It is not

straightforward. They will

desperately want their two here.

Both teams have a time-out which

they can take. In the match on the

sheet next to this one, Switzerland

did pick up only one. There are two

ends to go and they lead 8-6. They

will not be that disappointed about

that, but Canada have the hammer in

the ninth end. And if Canada were to

lose four of their first five

matches, well... That would be a

major shock in this curling

competition.

competition. Rachel Homan is their

skip.

skip. She had Eve Muirhead and Anna

Hasselborg all know each other very

well indeed.

well indeed. This generation of

skips all know each other incredibly

well.

well.

I saw Maria Prytz coming out

there. She is the coach for Anna

Hasselborg and an international

player herself.

What would she be

wanting to do? You are trying to get

your two. You are sitting on three

at the moment, but that is not so

relevant to how things end up.

The

worry is that if they hit the red,

there is a huge opportunity for

Great Britain to them coming behind

them.

them. You are leaving yourself a

difficult shot.

difficult shot. Do you free up the

four foot?

four foot? They will definitely know

that Eve is now playing a much

better game and she is more likely

to pull off a good shot. So that is

at the back of their mind as well.

If you haven't got any plans later

today, there is also lots going on

in the Winter Olympics. The men are

back in action. They are play Italy

tonight. Although it doesn't look

good that they have only won two and

lost three, the fact that they have

played Canada, Sweden and

Switzerland, the three top teams in

the table at the moment, in those

first four matches, most teams will

end up with a record that's as three

losses against those three teams. So

there is still everything to play

for further British men.

Yeah, the

boys had a tough time. That is Peter

Lindholm, the national Swedish

coach. The boys had a tough start to

this draw. To come out of it with

two and two was always going to be a

bonus, so they just have to carry

that momentum through and win what

we would classify as some of the

easier games, but none of them are

here, because there are many teams

beating each other. But they have a

huge chance. Anna Hasselborg is

hoping to get her team to a little

hit.

hit. Eve is facing four stones here.

She doesn't have the hammer. What

does she do? She has been in this

situation before where she played an

outstanding draw.

outstanding draw.

You said if they

nosed that, to come in behind those

two?

two?

Eve will persevere with tapping

these yellows back, trying to make a

wall at the back that she can then

come to to get a shot in.

come to to get a shot in. It is

probably too early to try that come

around at the minute because they

have plenty of yellow

I

thought Eve would be in next to

play, but Alison has a chance to try

and tap that Swedish stones back --

Anna Sloan.

She has caught the guard.

At this

stage of the match, Eve has made

some good shots, but with two ends

to go, those little mistakes will

harm you in a dramatic way if they

capitalise on it.

capitalise on it.

As we get into the

latter half of the game, everybody

is getting a bit edgy.

Well, they

have three stones. That is the

advantage for them.

advantage for them. No shot is going

to be easy for anybody at this

stage. But if you want to back

anyone to make a straightforward

shot, it would be Sara McManus.

She has just played tremendously

well today.

If I was a teacher, she

would get my Goldstar today.

She has

hardly missed a shot. 97% at the

moment.

moment. Where did she lose that 3%?!

I have no idea.

I have no idea.

We have to be

careful here. We don't have the

hammer and we are facing four

Swedish stones. It is damage

limitation, so if we can remove two

of these, that would be good.

It has

cleared out here in the stands. But

the British fans are staying to

watch, and indeed Swedish fans.

Canada and Switzerland have their

contingent as well and that match is

still going on. Eve Muirhead is

trying to move a couple of these.

Partial success.

Partial success.

She is disappointed

with the, because as she just said,

they haven't done anything. She

needed to catch that thin.

A little

thinner and it would have been a

very good shot.

Nowhere for her to hide behind

either.

Anna Hasselborg has to be

careful where her shooter goes here.

Just hanging on there.

You heard what she was saying.

Giving up two might be the best to

get here.

get here. Surrounded by yellow. We

have got one stone left for Eve

Muirhead to at least try and make

the last shot for the Swedish skip a

little more difficult. Very

important that she gets this in

here.

She has chosen to go into the

left-hand side of the pack. She will

potentially leaves Sweden with a

yellow shot on the other side, but

she wants to out capped the other

three. -- out count the other three.

As you said, she doesn't want to

leave an easy takeout.

We have seen Eve play a nice shot

here before. That is a very good

shot.

That can't be moved.

shot.

That can't be moved. Great

Britain will have to find two in the

final end. And even if they manage

that, and that will be a tall order

given the way Sweden are playing, it

will go to an extra end.

That was a

great shots from Eve. It was a saver

for that end, because there was a

potential of losing five if she

didn't make it.

That would have been

the match.

So she has done a great

job again at in reducing the deficit

of the score.

She just saw an opportunity to close

out the game and it didn't work for

her. On another occasion, it might

have done.

She has learned her

lesson from that, so a nice draw

down here.

down here. Well, the task is clear

for Great Britain. They have the

hammer in the final end. They are

two down. Sweden leads 6-4. Anything

less than two, and it's all over.

Even if they do get two, they will

have to steal in the extra end

because Sweden would have the

hammer. But they have to get two

before we can even think about that.

They have to be happy with the way

they are playing. We knew this would

be a tough match. Britain did not

get off to the best of starts, 3-0

down after the first three ends.

Since then, it has been a case of

Eve Muirhead trying to hang on and

get back into this. She did that,

but now a gap has appeared just at

the time you didn't want it to.

Sweden are not giving Great Britain

any chances, not making any

mistakes. They have no right to make

any mistakes, you have to expect

that your opposition will get the

best shots they can.

It is a ninth end time-out for

Canada. They are 8-6 down.

What do you reckon, Jackie? Is it

worth changing anything here? Do you

keep hoping they will make a

mistake? But they haven't.

They

haven't. Anna Hasselborg will hit

everything she can. We desperately

need to try and create this two.

need to try and create this two. I

think Lauren thought she had

something on that stone.

something on that stone. A stone

should only have three and a half

rotations, and that one had about

15! She must have felt was something

under it when she was delivering.

under it when she was delivering. To

be honest, every shot in the house

is a danger at the moment, because

Great Britain could come and rest on

it or use it against me, so they are

happily going to throw everything

out of the house and hit when they

have the opportunity.

Stone placement is key here for the

girls if we want to try and create

this two.

If you are getting

nervous, join the club. It is a big

match for Great Britain. If they

lose this they will have three wins

and three losses and then really if

you want to be sure of a place in

the semifinals they would have to

win their last three matches to make

sure of that. Can they somehow drag

this one out of the fire?

It has

done enough. They have two corners

on now and Anna Hasselborg is going

to...

Now that four stones have been

played, she can with move the

guards. She will now can try and

remove these guards but Great

Britain are looking for one small

error to try and capitalise on here.

Where do you think it might come

from?

She has just gone underneath

it. That was a nice call. They were

hoping to catch the red and bring it

out of the house as well.

out of the house as well.

Close. It

would have been a bonus. The main

job was to clear that guard.

job was to clear that guard. Vicki

Adams has to put one back in place.

It is heavy, it is heavy.

They want

this one to pull up now and put the

brakes on. Don't want it to go in

the house.

the house.

Yes, Vicky was worried

about that. Another chance here. For

Sweden. They want to get rid of this

guard now, the primary objective for

this stone with Agnes Knochenhauer.

She will hope this will be the last

original play in this match. She

doesn't want an extra end.

They are

really having to work this one hard

if they wanted to run across the

house.

house.

It is working out. Every shot

that Sweden makes they are kind of

looking for some kind of small

error. So far it has all been very

good indeed. Can Anna Hasselborg

called this together? Can Great

Britain?

Can Great Britain keep the

pressure on here and try and get a

crack from the Swedish team? That

would give us the opportunity of

two. We are still doing well here

and setting at the end up. I have

said it before, it is not all about

rushing into the house to be closer

to the centre right away. Strategy

of the game really is to set guards

at the front and utilise them and

come around behind them.

A little

change of mind there for McManus. I

will bet you that she manages to

just peeled this away. It is a

straightforward shot for someone who

has been playing as brilliant as she

has. She could do it with her I

shut.

Not many people finish a competition

with a 100% record. I have seen it

done. But 97% so far is very

impressive. Anna Hasselborg is

sitting on 89 December Eve Muirhead

is sitting at 83% and she really has

laid the big shots when she has to

do in this sentence, saving her team

and preventing Sweden from picking

up multiple scores.

You might hear

some chisel a minute and it won't be

for this stone but Canada have a

chance of three.

That is a nice

result there. They had to work that

hard to try and catch an edge of the

Swedish yellow. Could we see the

first mistake here?

There is that cheer I was on about,

there is a lot of Canadians support

here and they have completely turned

the match around against Switzerland

so they are at 9-8 now but

Switzerland have the hammer in the

final end and it is a cracking match

there. A good one here, of course,

just appealing that one off. Great

Britain want to put it back in

place.

That is the first glimmer of

light for us. A miss there, well,

not a miss but she wanted to try and

read the guard on to it but she

didn't quite do it and she did leave

the guard and there is an

opportunity for us to guard this up

again. In a position at the moment

to try and pick up the two.

This is

where you need to put your stone

exact way you want it, exactly where

Eve placed her brush. She quite

likes the line here, they are not

sweeping too hard. It could come

into a nice position here. A little

more? Very good.

more? Very good.

We are down to skip

stones now. I wonder if she can just

see that?

She is having a look.

Controlled weight she will may be

moving gibbet at and if she doesn't

she will have to ensure she catches

the guard.

Could freeze onto the red.

They have

already had the time out so they

cannot have another time-out so

we're just going to clear the front

guard, team decision.

They have

plenty of time, there is two

minutes. It was the clock, they have

20 minutes thinking time during the

match and if the clock runs out you

have lost the match so they still

have two stones.

have two stones. They will end up

with a round about 1.45 minutes left

by the time she delivers this. So,

an interesting option. Anna

Hasselborg has played well, has

played very well. Has she got this

one?

Well, the opportunity continues the

Eve Muirhead here. The idea is that

you have got two stones and you have

got one and you end up sitting two

here. Make sure she cannot take both

of your stones out.

You can hear the girls talking about

that they are going to go for the

yellow shot in the house but it is

just where they shoot.

You don't

leave a chance for double! Why would

you just knows it? Eve wants to roll

across and put some distance, just a

hit and roll. Obviously you have got

to get that, you don't want to roll

out.

I think a nose is not a bad

call him because of the angle.

Whatever happens I think Sweden is

going to try for the double.

Hitting

a little roll off to the left, is

that OK?

Eve just has to be careful

and just has to make sure that she

plays the right eyes in the right

way and she stays in the house

because that is the first task in

hand.

Eve

hand.

Eve Muirhead has been very,

very good in the last few ends and

she needs to continue that here. Two

good stones to finish and this one

first of all, don't give Sweden the

chance for a double takeout. She

needs to have the chance to get her

two. This is straightening up. It is

going to catch it right on the nose.

Wrong way.

So Anna Hasselborg is

going to try for removing both of

these stones here.

Because this is

the win for them. This is the win

for Sweden she the shot. She is just

checking exactly where she wants to

hit that stone to get the right

angle. Those at too close together

for comfort from a British

perspective. Eve Muirhead really

wanted to roll the other way.

Yes.

So she has made this a much easier

task for the Swedish skip, Anna

Hasselborg. Tier if she doesn't make

it, though, we will have an

opportunity for a two

and an extra

end and Anna Hasselborg has a big

chance here to remove both of these

wrens -- reds and make up some of

her after shots that she has played.

Not many of them but...

Here we go

then, Hasselborg with a chance to

take out both British stones and win

the match for Sweden. If she takes

that just one then Eve Muirhead is

still alive here. It is going to be

pretty close, it is very close. She

misses. It misses!

That was so

close.

close. So, Eve Muirhead just needs

to draw in here for the two. Well, I

don't if you are on the edge of your

seat watching that but we were here.

All the way Danny looked like it had

a great chance, a miss by one

centimetre. It look like the shot

that Eve herself missed when she

tried a double takeout a few pence

ago. Hasselborg knows that that

might have been the match there. Of

course, all of this will do is take

us into an extra end if she makes it

to, she will still have to stay in

the house somewhere and then it will

be an extra end with Sweden having

the hammer. So Eve Muirhead, just

stay calm and keep your nerves in

check and a straightforward shot.

Sweeping it early, aren't they?

It

is fine, it is fine.

Yes, right in

the middle this one.

Happy here with

the number of the house called.

Anywhere is good.

We didn't have a

lot to spare but nonetheless it is

better to send it down a little

light so they can sweep it rather

than the other way around so Eve

Muirhead, well played. She

manufactured a situation in which

they are Leesburg bit of pressure.

We thought it was an easy shot far

Hasselborg and it might have been

but she missed. Not by much but this

is a game of centimetres and

millimetres at times so it is 6-6

after ten ends and we now have

another end with Sweden with the

hammer. Goodness me! This has been a

great match, I have to say. A lot of

good play from both teams. Eve

Muirhead in particular has been,

since the third or fourth end, has

been in great form. She has played

so many shots and missed hardly

anything.

Sweden, I just wonder how

they feel now. They do have the

hammer now obviously which is a

great position to be in but when you

have had an opportunity to win on

more than one occasion and you have

allowed Great Britain to get back in

and now they find themselves in an

extra end.

Yes, I was trying to

quickly look and see how many close

games Sweden have had because quite

often these games all go down to an

extra end. This is their third match

with an extra end.

Yes, there you

go.
