Day 16, Part 1

0:01:35 > 0:01:40MUSIC.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04Hello and welcome to the final day of the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter

0:02:04 > 0:02:10Olympic Games. We have seen history makers, underdogs and bloody Dracula

0:02:10 > 0:02:17's. We have seen celebrations, upsets, heartbreak and joy and today

0:02:17 > 0:02:21we will see four brand-new Winter Olympics medals handled out. I still

0:02:21 > 0:02:26have absolutely no idea what this is supposed to be. Here is what coming

0:02:26 > 0:02:35up. From the spring onion to the Garlic Girls, tonight Corriere take

0:02:35 > 0:02:41on Sweden in the women's curling final.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46final. The four-man bobsleigh reaches its conclusion. We have the

0:02:46 > 0:02:50gold medal match in the ice hockey as the Olympic Athletes from Russia

0:02:50 > 0:02:54take on the surprise finalists Germany. He was the overnight

0:02:54 > 0:02:58schedule and we try our best to stick to it. Surely we have the

0:02:58 > 0:03:03curling up with the hosts involved, expected to be noisy. You can see

0:03:03 > 0:03:10the third run of the four-man bobsleigh from 1230. We will do our

0:03:10 > 0:03:16best to join that after the curling. At ten past four over here on BBC

0:03:16 > 0:03:22One we have the gold medal match in the men's ice hockey. In the past

0:03:22 > 0:03:27two weeks so many of you have got in touch with us and we've seen

0:03:27 > 0:03:33pictures of your hats and pyjamas and you have even named our trolley.

0:03:33 > 0:03:38Our question today is what was your moment of the game so far? For me it

0:03:38 > 0:03:42was all about the USA 's Chloe Kim getting gold in the halfpipe at 17

0:03:42 > 0:03:47years old and doing it with back-to-back 1080s. It doesn't have

0:03:47 > 0:03:52to be about a medal hope or Team GB, it can be anyone or anything, just

0:03:52 > 0:03:58let us know. We kick off our show today with curling and the gold

0:03:58 > 0:04:03medal match is happening shortly between Sweden and Korea. GB

0:04:03 > 0:04:06qualified for the bronze medal match against Japan and we have the story

0:04:06 > 0:04:08now.

0:04:12 > 0:04:18Even a team ready to go and they have to be at the very best. It was

0:04:18 > 0:04:22clear how tight this match would be and sometimes the key is not to

0:04:22 > 0:04:26score but to keep the last shot, the hammer. The problem is that Eve

0:04:26 > 0:04:32Muirhead 's stones were not always following the strategy.That is what

0:04:32 > 0:04:39the Great Britain but not the start that Eve Muirhead wanted.At any got

0:04:39 > 0:04:45more tense. This was nervously and binary curling as the ones and zeros

0:04:45 > 0:04:49and Japan kept the hammer in their pocket.If either team wants a medal

0:04:49 > 0:04:55around their neck they will have to step it up a little bit.3-2 going

0:04:55 > 0:04:59into and eight and everyone knew this could be settled by mistakes,

0:04:59 > 0:05:12however small.We need to hit him stick.Stay, stay.Japan finally

0:05:12 > 0:05:16took one. 3-3 and Britain had the hammer on the night. This match of

0:05:16 > 0:05:22multi-tension was starting to unravel.

0:05:22 > 0:05:22unravel.Eve Muirhead

0:05:22 > 0:05:23multi-tension was starting to unravel.Eve Muirhead is trying to

0:05:23 > 0:05:33catch this on the nose, her own red, running back onto the yellow.

0:05:33 > 0:05:37running back onto the yellow. No, no, no. The only thing that has done

0:05:37 > 0:05:40is give her the chance of a blank tent.It is done the job I cleared

0:05:40 > 0:05:44everything out of the house, they had to wait for that to come.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53We have seen in the early end is where we thought we were heading for

0:05:53 > 0:05:58a blank end and a straightforward removal of the stone, but she has

0:05:58 > 0:06:01done well to get this right in, with just a little bit of indecision

0:06:01 > 0:06:06about what to do with this. One of two things will happen here, either

0:06:06 > 0:06:10Eve gets a blank or she ends up sticking this red in the house to

0:06:10 > 0:06:20end up with a one.Even if you give away the hammer -- the one here you

0:06:20 > 0:06:24have the hammer in the last end and that hammer is the key here. If you

0:06:24 > 0:06:34can blank the sender would be great. Oh!O, even!Japan had stolen a lead

0:06:34 > 0:06:38going into the last end but the last shot would be even but every

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Japanese stone reduce the margins they could work within. The stones

0:06:41 > 0:06:45marked out a choice, taking one was safer and it would force an extra

0:06:45 > 0:06:49end but Japan would have the hammer and the other option was to go the

0:06:49 > 0:06:54two and risk everything. Even put it all on red. Bronze bust.She has to

0:06:54 > 0:07:05put this right and it does not.Oh, my goodness.That means the bronze

0:07:05 > 0:07:10medal goes to Japan, their first-ever meddling curling. Eve

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Muirhead had the chance to win it but it didn't come off and Great

0:07:13 > 0:07:19Britain will go home empty-handed. Cannot believe that after all of

0:07:19 > 0:07:27this Eve Muirhead and her team have nothing.

0:07:27 > 0:07:35this Eve Muirhead and her team have nothing.Sony and so far for the GB

0:07:35 > 0:07:43-- Sony and so far for the GB curling team. Jenny Jones claims a

0:07:43 > 0:07:49bobble hat is not called.Oh, my goodness, I love my bobble at!Eight

0:07:49 > 0:07:57has had main -- years and a lot of attention on social media, mainly

0:07:57 > 0:08:01negative in my part. Korea has been one of the stories of the games,

0:08:01 > 0:08:05what can we expect?They have played extremely well this week and they

0:08:05 > 0:08:08are on a roll and I fully expect they will come and give Sweden the

0:08:08 > 0:08:12game of their life. Let us hope that is what happens. They have been

0:08:12 > 0:08:18riding on the crest of a rave -- wave with the crowd here and it has

0:08:18 > 0:08:21been a wonderful championship to be a part of but it will be a tough

0:08:21 > 0:08:26game because Sweden is a very experienced players.Curling is a

0:08:26 > 0:08:31game of etiquette, will the home support BEA help or hindrance?Will

0:08:31 > 0:08:35be a support for everyone. The unfortunate thing is they are not

0:08:35 > 0:08:38curling crowds so they cheer at the wrong time but they should be

0:08:38 > 0:08:42cheering and lifting the whole arena so I am looking forward to it and I

0:08:42 > 0:08:50am sure the Swedish girls

0:08:50 > 0:08:52am sure the Swedish girls will be annoyed or upset if they hear any

0:08:52 > 0:08:55cheering going the wrong way. They will be focused on the game at hand.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59In the round robin match when Korea took on Sweden earlier in the games,

0:08:59 > 0:09:03Korea one by one stone. Will you be like that?I hope so, there was

0:09:03 > 0:09:07nothing nicer than winning a gold medal on the last November last end

0:09:07 > 0:09:10and it is really tense Soweto because all the way.Let us hope

0:09:10 > 0:09:14indeed. Over to you.

0:09:20 > 0:09:26The first stone is being played by Sophia Mabergs. As Jackie was saying

0:09:26 > 0:09:30I think this is going to be a great match, or at least we hope it is. It

0:09:30 > 0:09:39is filling up here in the arena. The crowds have not been punctual, have

0:09:39 > 0:09:43they? All through the curling they have arrived a bit late. What

0:09:43 > 0:09:47happens is they get held outside and it takes for them to get in. We

0:09:47 > 0:09:53expect this to be full. The Garlic Girls, team Kim have been absolutely

0:09:53 > 0:09:58sensational, taking on Sweden, the victors over Great Britain. Anna

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Hasselborg and her team have played very well and perhaps been saving

0:10:01 > 0:10:07their best curling for the latter stages of this competition so have

0:10:07 > 0:10:11they timed it right? Huge disappointment for Swedish bands

0:10:11 > 0:10:19when Nicholas Dean could not overcome the USA, and inspired USA

0:10:19 > 0:10:26team to win the gold medal. We have everybody in the box today. Logan is

0:10:26 > 0:10:35with Jackie and I. Yutu, let us start with Logan because Logan is

0:10:35 > 0:10:38zero from three on attempts of working out who will win.If you

0:10:38 > 0:10:45include the Calcutta Cup I was zero for four.It is not ready fair to

0:10:45 > 0:10:52ask you who will win but I am going to. What do you reckon? Come on!I

0:10:52 > 0:10:56desperately want to see Sweden again but I felt as though we had the

0:10:56 > 0:11:06commentators curse yesterday for poor Nicolas.Korea for me, they

0:11:06 > 0:11:13made the most shots all week and Sweden might not be able to live

0:11:13 > 0:11:18with it. They need to be very clever with their stone position. They

0:11:18 > 0:11:29could make some tactical mistakes. That is a good point. We will see a

0:11:29 > 0:11:32similar match to yesterday when the pressure is on the team with the

0:11:32 > 0:11:41most experience and the other team has everything and nothing to lose.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45We are all croaky, there have been over 100 matches in the team

0:11:45 > 0:11:49competition is not including the mixed doubles so I might have to go

0:11:49 > 0:11:54and recount. I had two goes at it, I came up with 99 and then 100 but I

0:11:54 > 0:11:59think this is the 101st actual match in the when and -- men and women's

0:11:59 > 0:12:04competition. We have commentated on quite a lot of them. So you are I

0:12:04 > 0:12:08excused a bit of a frog in the throat.Our throats are, even the

0:12:08 > 0:12:16hot coffee is not helping this morning.She just missed take. There

0:12:16 > 0:12:19is an early chance for Korea to Korea to score two out of nothing

0:12:19 > 0:12:29really.Korea have the hammer in the first end. Normally Sweden has it.

0:12:29 > 0:12:34Anna Hasselborg likes to get her team settle down with a steel. , a

0:12:34 > 0:12:38blank ten to normally for Sweden in the first end. The Koreans on more

0:12:38 > 0:12:44than one occasion have managed to sort of jump out to a three and a

0:12:44 > 0:12:50four in the first end. They have come out of the traps pretty

0:12:50 > 0:13:01quickly. The crowd is filling up. A lot of media attention.

0:13:01 > 0:13:07lot of media attention. The skip has become an overnight sensation and

0:13:07 > 0:13:10the whole team are very well-known and in particular she is getting a

0:13:10 > 0:13:14lot of attention in this Korean women's team. They are carrying the

0:13:14 > 0:13:23hopes of the nation for a gold medal on the last day. You are going to

0:13:23 > 0:13:29hear an awful lot of cheers every time a stone appears to most of the

0:13:29 > 0:13:35crowd to work out in favour of career. -- Korea. Maybe a chance to

0:13:35 > 0:13:46salvage this a bit for Sweden.

0:13:46 > 0:13:59Sara McManus. She is the daughter of Stuart McManus the professional

0:13:59 > 0:14:06footballer who moved to Sweden in the later part of his Korea. He

0:14:06 > 0:14:12played for Southampton back in the 1980s. I am sure he is a very proud

0:14:12 > 0:14:21father. Sarah has played very well this week.

0:14:24 > 0:14:35Third stones for Korea.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40One of two reflections, guy, on you have had a night to look back on

0:14:40 > 0:14:43that match against Japan. I was chatting to a couple of people on

0:14:43 > 0:14:49the way in this morning. A couple of media people. The type of game that

0:14:49 > 0:14:57it, it wasn't the most enthralling match, was it, from your point of

0:14:57 > 0:15:01view, from a curling aficionado's point of view, was it a game that

0:15:01 > 0:15:05could have broken out better, earlier if you like from a Great

0:15:05 > 0:15:09Britain perspective?Yes, think the girls could probably have maybe

0:15:09 > 0:15:13tried to take the game on more, but that easy for to us say because we

0:15:13 > 0:15:19are up in the box and we are The Wiz paramedics behind the glass, the

0:15:19 > 0:15:24whole game just seemed a bit flat, I was looking for somebody to, really

0:15:24 > 0:15:28be enthrall and have a fist pump and a great shot, you just lift the

0:15:28 > 0:15:34team, but that kind of didn't happen and it was almost too calm, and too,

0:15:34 > 0:15:41too clean and, unfortunately it went guest us at the end of the day.Same

0:15:41 > 0:15:46for me, it was nervy throughout, and yes, it's not a great from a

0:15:46 > 0:15:50broadcasting perspective, either, it is not how we want to sell the

0:15:50 > 0:15:54sport, having a low scoring game. Yes, it is just one of them, really.

0:15:54 > 0:16:00Disappointing. I think we will see changes again,

0:16:00 > 0:16:04the federation are looking at the five rock rule, and for sure, I can

0:16:04 > 0:16:09see coming in the games reducing to eight ends, they are looking at

0:16:09 > 0:16:15dynamic to make it more fast, and entertaining, as well as the showing

0:16:15 > 0:16:21off the skills of the player, out there.I think that is always the

0:16:21 > 0:16:26issue for any federations who are looking to modernise the game, if

0:16:26 > 0:16:31you like, any sport it is, you have got to somehow retain the integrity

0:16:31 > 0:16:37of what the sport is about, not completely change that, but finding

0:16:37 > 0:16:40ways to, move it on to another level, at least have different

0:16:40 > 0:16:44versions of the game. I think, from a, from a traditionalist point of

0:16:44 > 0:16:47view when you are at the Olympic Games you want to see the game

0:16:47 > 0:16:52people have always played but little changes here and there can often

0:16:52 > 0:16:57make it a little bit more appealing. I'm not saying it is not appealing.

0:16:57 > 0:17:03We know how many peach are watching curving. It is great so many of you

0:17:03 > 0:17:08have been with us, if you were watching the mixed doubles it has

0:17:08 > 0:17:12been thee weeks of curling. I don't know what you are going to do after

0:17:12 > 0:17:23we have finished this last match.

0:17:30 > 0:17:35Think that point about the game is, in essence easy to follow for

0:17:35 > 0:17:42somebody ho is not a, somebody who is steeped in the sport and auj the

0:17:42 > 0:17:48intricacies of it it. -- all. We were talking about the strategies

0:17:48 > 0:17:52and the rest of it. But it's... Straightforward enough, that anyone

0:17:52 > 0:17:55can come to it without knowing anything about the sport and kind of

0:17:55 > 0:17:59understand and get it. You don't want to lose that side of it.

0:17:59 > 0:18:11Very easy for people to pick up fairly quickly.

0:18:13 > 0:18:19I think one of the thing, the difference in mixed doubles and the

0:18:19 > 0:18:23normal, is that the right way to call it, traditional team game is

0:18:23 > 0:18:28the blanked end issue, I think that is something they should maybe look

0:18:28 > 0:18:34at I retaining the hammer with the blank end. We had at least three in

0:18:34 > 0:18:39the match yesterday, and again, you don't want to change the way in

0:18:39 > 0:18:44which games are played, in terms of strategy, you want to maintain, but,

0:18:44 > 0:18:51the mixed double, if you do blank and or if an end is blanked you

0:18:51 > 0:18:55don't keep the hammer. It forces the scoring.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59Yes, they are looking at lots and lots of scenarios to change its and

0:18:59 > 0:19:05to make it a bit more interesting. Not that it isn't, because we have a

0:19:05 > 0:19:09huge fan base out there that every four years loves the curling and it

0:19:09 > 0:19:15is on a lot, so people slowly but surely get it, pulled into this

0:19:15 > 0:19:25game.

0:19:26 > 0:19:31There are a lot of Korean flags being waved, quite a few handed out

0:19:31 > 0:19:34outside. While we were chatting away, it was a slow start but Korea

0:19:34 > 0:19:45ended up with one there.

0:19:45 > 0:19:51Let us talk about this Korean team. They have been together, you talk

0:19:51 > 0:19:55about the development of the game. There was a ring built near where

0:19:55 > 0:20:03they live, and got into curling early.

0:20:03 > 0:20:07early. Neefrn a long time this is key, isn't it. You don't have to

0:20:07 > 0:20:12have hundreds of thousands of curlers to get a good team, iffy get

0:20:12 > 0:20:17somebody who wants to dedicate their time to it, which these four have

0:20:17 > 0:20:24done, you manage to give them access, facilities, coaching, and

0:20:24 > 0:20:28understanding the nuances of the game at this level as well, as we

0:20:28 > 0:20:31have been talking about the amount of coaches who have come out of

0:20:31 > 0:20:36Canada and other countries and have gone out there, and teaching

0:20:36 > 0:20:40talented teams how to play at the top level this is the result.

0:20:40 > 0:20:47I think you have to look at the depth of your sport as well, and

0:20:47 > 0:20:51have future potential athletes coming through, without putting all

0:20:51 > 0:20:58your eggs in the one basket. Korea, I believe, have the only women's

0:20:58 > 0:21:05academy for curling.

0:21:05 > 0:21:06academy for curling. His is the result.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09I think you have to look at the depth of your sport as well, and

0:21:09 > 0:21:11have future potential athletes coming through, without putting all

0:21:11 > 0:21:13your eggs in the one basket. Korea, I believe, have the only women's

0:21:13 > 0:21:16academy for curling.They play a nice way, their sweeping Ted Cruz

0:21:16 > 0:21:18neec has been second to none. These girls are putting a power of

0:21:18 > 0:21:21sweeping in when they needtor, they are holding lots of stones I thought

0:21:21 > 0:21:24they might have lost, so it is really impro sieve what they are

0:21:24 > 0:21:35doing. -- impressive what they are doing.

0:21:35 > 0:21:40Where this team excels is their technique and their ability to

0:21:40 > 0:21:47maintain that technique under pressure, they make so many shot,

0:21:47 > 0:21:51they are better strategically, but maybe don't make the same amount of

0:21:51 > 0:22:01shots this team do.

0:22:07 > 0:22:23So swede within the hammer then. Mabergs with one corner out there.

0:22:29 > 0:22:35Looking round for a bit of blue and yellow. I can see about three down

0:22:35 > 0:22:43to my right. I think, is that Anna Hasselborg's parents, you guys have

0:22:43 > 0:22:47pointed out before. Three or four of her family members, not too many

0:22:47 > 0:22:57other, a few at the back, maybe. I'm a bit worried the organising

0:22:57 > 0:23:00committee have priced people out of attending today, it is not that full

0:23:00 > 0:23:06in here.Maybe 50 or 60% full at the moment.

0:23:06 > 0:23:17It does tend to fill up as we go on. A bit of a family favour, not that

0:23:17 > 0:23:24all the, all the... Kims are related, team Kim, but there are the

0:23:24 > 0:23:30coaching staff and the two twins from the men's team and the mixed,

0:23:30 > 0:23:38one of the mixed doubles team. I agree. I think the problem with

0:23:38 > 0:23:42when we got to the semifinals and final, the tickets were premium

0:23:42 > 0:23:49tickets. Of course, issue then is for local fans, suddenly your team

0:23:49 > 0:23:54gets to the final and it is not so easy to get hold of a ticket and not

0:23:54 > 0:24:03necessarily affordable either. The national coach for Sweden there.

0:24:03 > 0:24:10Himself a three time World Champion. Tried his best to get an Olympic

0:24:10 > 0:24:18medal, he didn't

0:24:18 > 0:24:23medal, he didn't manage, so...You are going to get a lot of this, a

0:24:23 > 0:24:30lot of oohs and ahs, a nice shot there.

0:24:31 > 0:24:36Both thaemss play that really nice these team teams where they control

0:24:36 > 0:24:44the stone down the ice, they take plenty of ice and let it come in and

0:24:44 > 0:24:49they are guaranteed their shooting stone stays in the house, both teams

0:24:49 > 0:24:56play that kind of weight really well.

0:24:56 > 0:25:01Kim Seon-yeong who is playing second, a lot of the a media

0:25:01 > 0:25:08attention has been on the skip, but, Team Kim and the interaction between

0:25:08 > 0:25:17the all four of them, it has been of interest particularly I think the

0:25:17 > 0:25:24fact that Kim Eun-jung is the skip, the one that tends to shout the most

0:25:24 > 0:25:32is Kim Seon-yeong. Peter Gallant. He must be very very proud of this

0:25:32 > 0:25:41Korean team.

0:25:41 > 0:25:48Korean team.Peter is the father one of the players from Dan.

0:25:48 > 0:25:57It was Brett who put him in touch with this Korean team. That arranged

0:25:57 > 0:26:04this partnership, which has borne so much fruit here.Was a really

0:26:04 > 0:26:08defensive call there from Korea, throwing the guard off, but plans

0:26:08 > 0:26:12they didn't really see any option to kind of push the button, and in end

0:26:12 > 0:26:24and try and force Sweden to score one.

0:26:47 > 0:26:52We were talking, three of us last night, weren't we, about the sort

0:26:52 > 0:26:57of, as they match develops, see the stats come up and who has been

0:26:57 > 0:27:00playing well, although it has followed if you look through the

0:27:00 > 0:27:08week, the players who, the top end of the statistic, percentage-wise,

0:27:08 > 0:27:14Sweden were up there, we are seeing the Korean women as well. The USA

0:27:14 > 0:27:19side were nowhere near rating highly in terms of percentage, either

0:27:19 > 0:27:23individually or as team, yet that won the gold medal.Stabilities, I

0:27:23 > 0:27:29think, you have to take them just as a guide, sometimes, you can play 50%

0:27:29 > 0:27:38but if you play that right 350% at the right time it counts for you.

0:27:38 > 0:27:42The right 50. It come downs to one or two game, it is a new

0:27:42 > 0:27:47competition.John shus terse he made the right shots at the right time.

0:27:47 > 0:27:55Got the gold medal. Just a little test as been put out

0:27:55 > 0:28:00here by Korea.

0:28:06 > 0:28:16Just that red stone that is out of the house, just on the side there.

0:28:16 > 0:28:25Is there. Give them, Sweden something to work round, or with,

0:28:25 > 0:28:33trying to make sure they get their two.

0:28:33 > 0:28:39McManus, removing that Korean yellow. This is the skip.

0:28:39 > 0:28:44Kim Eun-jung has had a great week, her face is appearing everywhere in

0:28:44 > 0:28:56all the newspaper, she looks so calm all of the time. Always in control.

0:29:03 > 0:29:07She did what she had to do that and she is still lying to macro shots in

0:29:07 > 0:29:16the house.

0:29:23 > 0:29:30Now then, just having a look at the angles here.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38angles here. Anna Hasselborg likes these kinds of shots, the Crosshouse

0:29:38 > 0:29:47doubles.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50doubles.If she wants a chance of blanking the end she needs to make

0:29:50 > 0:29:57this one.

0:29:57 > 0:30:02this one.And am Hasselborg has led this team remarkably well. That

0:30:02 > 0:30:07could be a good shot. She has just enough to tap that one out, not

0:30:07 > 0:30:14quite. Not quite. A good attempt by the Swedish skip but those two are

0:30:14 > 0:30:21lined up there as well.She finished their well with it sitting just in

0:30:21 > 0:30:24front of the yellow stone.Although she didn't make the double takeout

0:30:24 > 0:30:31they have a chance to blanket because her rear -- Korea I'm not

0:30:31 > 0:30:36going to try anything heroic here.

0:30:45 > 0:30:49A steady start of this women's final and a steady start in terms of

0:30:49 > 0:30:57people coming in, they are still trickling in here.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00trickling in here. Kim and John has taken that read out. The crowd are

0:31:00 > 0:31:07loving the fact that she has picked it out. As Logan was saying there

0:31:07 > 0:31:09was those dryly -- fairly straightforward removal of this to

0:31:09 > 0:31:18blank the end for Sweden and we will move on into the third.I think it

0:31:18 > 0:31:22was pretty inevitable. And I had to set up a good shot to have the

0:31:22 > 0:31:30opportunity to blank when Korea it looked very much like the end would

0:31:30 > 0:31:35go this way when they peeled off the corner guard.We want this to be a

0:31:35 > 0:31:39final between the two best teams were played the best in the

0:31:39 > 0:31:42competition so far and we want them to produce a match to show-off their

0:31:42 > 0:31:49skills and the fact they are at the top of their game.

0:32:00 > 0:32:05No mistake there from Anna Hasselborg so blanking the end, keep

0:32:05 > 0:32:18the hammer and move into the third. Any signs early on which way this

0:32:18 > 0:32:31could go?No. I still think it is nobody 's game at the moment.

0:32:32 > 0:32:43Nobodies and anybody's. Am I on celebrity watch today?I think you

0:32:43 > 0:32:46could be, yes, because Jackie letters down terribly yesterday in

0:32:46 > 0:32:50the bronze medal match. I have seen my first curling stone at, which I

0:32:50 > 0:32:56am really not sure about. Just walking along there on the far side,

0:32:56 > 0:33:06can you spot it?Yes, very fetching. You see a lot of those in Canada.I

0:33:06 > 0:33:11am also looking for one of those curling conditions.The curling

0:33:11 > 0:33:21stone hat is not a good look. We are continuing with the curling. Run

0:33:21 > 0:33:25three of the bobsleigh, the four-man bob, is starting on the Red Button

0:33:25 > 0:33:30just about now if you are interested in that. Two more runs to go in the

0:33:30 > 0:33:36men's four-man bob.

0:33:36 > 0:33:39men's four-man bob. If you are just coming in from a night out, heavy

0:33:39 > 0:33:48night, maybe you just want a nice bit of easy watching and maybe you

0:33:48 > 0:33:56have got a hot chocolate.That sounds nice.Or hot chocolate and an

0:33:56 > 0:34:07aspirin.Something for my throat.

0:34:09 > 0:34:13L C what Sweden do now. They blanked the first end that they have the

0:34:13 > 0:34:19hammer.Well, to me it looks as though they want to blank the third

0:34:19 > 0:34:27end. That is a little bit disappointing. I want to go out and

0:34:27 > 0:34:30grab these teams playing in the play-offs and tell them to try and

0:34:30 > 0:34:37win the game rather than to try not to lose it. Both teams did that last

0:34:37 > 0:34:43night and it will be the same again this morning.The stakes are high

0:34:43 > 0:34:51and it is understandable in one respect but what I did not feel

0:34:51 > 0:34:55yesterday certainly from a British perspective was kind of trusting

0:34:55 > 0:34:59yourself to make big shots. There is a bit of fear and, of course, there

0:34:59 > 0:35:03is bound to be but if you want to win an Olympic medal and here if you

0:35:03 > 0:35:11want to win the Olympic gold medal it is an opportunity that might not

0:35:11 > 0:35:16come round again for either of these teams and the one thing you don't

0:35:16 > 0:35:20want to do was walk off the ice at the end of it thinking, I wish I had

0:35:20 > 0:35:25done it differently.

0:35:26 > 0:35:28done it differently.The surprising thing for me about the European

0:35:28 > 0:35:33teams who are playing in the semifinals is that they are the more

0:35:33 > 0:35:38experienced and more confident teams and yet they seem happy to allow the

0:35:38 > 0:35:41opposition to play simple shots where I would be much more inclined

0:35:41 > 0:35:45to try and put them in a more comfortable position to try and

0:35:45 > 0:35:51force errors early.Yes, we have definitely seen in the circuit some

0:35:51 > 0:35:56of these girls going out gung ho right in the first end and if you

0:35:56 > 0:36:01can pick up a three or two or sometimes I have even seen for being

0:36:01 > 0:36:04picked up because you'll just have the guts to go up there and throw

0:36:04 > 0:36:09everything at it. They both had diners practice before the game

0:36:09 > 0:36:11started, they should know the weight and they should be able to take the

0:36:11 > 0:36:15bull by the horns and start the game and, Logan, you are right, just a

0:36:15 > 0:36:25tiny bit cagey, but we understand why.

0:36:25 > 0:36:29why.Just trading these stones and everyone is trying to hit and

0:36:29 > 0:36:35rolling behind that one guard that out there.

0:36:50 > 0:36:56At least the crowd are enjoying it. Could have done little roll their

0:36:56 > 0:37:02own got something started, hidden behind a God would have been nice.

0:37:02 > 0:37:12You are right, there are still people rolling in gradually.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15people rolling in gradually.Maybe they knew not much would happen in

0:37:15 > 0:37:18the first two or three opens and they would have another half an hour

0:37:18 > 0:37:27in bed.It is a Sunday morning, isn't it?The last day of the Winter

0:37:27 > 0:37:32Olympics impugned Chang. It has been a superb games. It is just a pity

0:37:32 > 0:37:40for us at the curling that we didn't manage to get a medal.

0:37:40 > 0:37:42manage to get a medal. Sweden had two chances at the gold but they had

0:37:42 > 0:37:47to settle for silver in the men's event. Another opportunity here.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50Canada have been one of the big stories of the curling, not making

0:37:50 > 0:37:57either final and not winning a medal at all in the team event, the mixed

0:37:57 > 0:38:02doubles, they won gold. Don't forget that. There was a lot of doom and

0:38:02 > 0:38:05gloom around Canadian curling but they did win the new gold medal in

0:38:05 > 0:38:11the new event.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14the new event.I think that got really good feedback, the mixed

0:38:14 > 0:38:20doubles, sofa sure we are hopefully going to see that continue.Finally

0:38:20 > 0:38:24we get one tucked in behind the guard. We are getting closer

0:38:24 > 0:38:30actually, they have been moving up the house slightly with each stone

0:38:30 > 0:38:40and from a Swedish perspective it makes a decent target here. That

0:38:40 > 0:38:51first one into the other yellow. Nicely done.

0:38:51 > 0:38:57Nicely done.Sara McManus has been very good at the shots.You remember

0:38:57 > 0:39:00my point little bit about the British women, I think they would

0:39:00 > 0:39:03admit that they did not play their best. All week they had flashes of

0:39:03 > 0:39:08it, we saw bits of it, every now and again what they were capable of.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11Remember how many of those sort of shots we have just seen their where

0:39:11 > 0:39:15they would get the top one is the second one, Sarah McManus has been

0:39:15 > 0:39:19very good.She throws a lovely stone.

0:39:29 > 0:39:40The Koreans with the brush game has been very good. They have two flags

0:39:40 > 0:39:43on top of the brush.I sometimes don't see it because they sweep so

0:39:43 > 0:39:58fast.That is your deteriorating eyes, I think!

0:39:59 > 0:40:04I think if these four win the gold-medal for Korea they will have

0:40:04 > 0:40:08an exciting time ahead of them. As we mentioned, the brushes, there

0:40:08 > 0:40:16have been all sorts of pictures in newspapers of them in various guises

0:40:16 > 0:40:27and I suspect there will be a fair few deals coming their way.

0:40:27 > 0:40:29few deals coming their way.Sweden are waiting for the stone to cross

0:40:29 > 0:40:37against the centre line before they sweep it.

0:40:37 > 0:40:40sweep it. It is a nice attempt but I think Korea will probably see about

0:40:40 > 0:40:52half of it. There is an angled shot for us.

0:40:57 > 0:41:04I love her man on the eyes. She is calmly in charge and she does get

0:41:04 > 0:41:07excited at times, we have seen it, particularly in the match against

0:41:07 > 0:41:14Japan in the semifinal which was a real nerve jangling. She did hold

0:41:14 > 0:41:19her nerve. It looked like they won it comfortably with two or three

0:41:19 > 0:41:22ends to go. I think they have the hammer and there was a steal in the

0:41:22 > 0:41:28Japan got two and tidied up and they went the extra end. That demeanour

0:41:28 > 0:41:40did not change.

0:41:48 > 0:41:57She doesn't miss many, does she? Does not miss many. They are coming

0:41:57 > 0:42:06to have a look if there is an angle there. I am not sure. Is there?

0:42:06 > 0:42:08there. I am not sure. Is there?I don't think there is any need for

0:42:08 > 0:42:12Sweden to play at take out. Both of these stones or a nonthreatening

0:42:12 > 0:42:21positions.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24This is a difference between having the last stone and not having the

0:42:24 > 0:42:29last stone. If they didn't, there is no doubt they will play at take out

0:42:29 > 0:42:32or a freeze on the back stone to try and get a save but with the last

0:42:32 > 0:42:44stone neck and take more risk, knowing they still have one to come.

0:42:44 > 0:42:57Anna Hasselborg trying to emulate Annette Norberg who won two

0:42:57 > 0:43:06consecutive gold medals for women's curling.

0:43:07 > 0:43:15Annette is sitting and watching with her sister.

0:43:19 > 0:43:22That is a really nice draw there. She should be fully right in behind

0:43:22 > 0:43:31the guard.

0:43:31 > 0:43:34the guard.The thing about the Swedish women as well when we have

0:43:34 > 0:43:38seen them play against Great Britain in the semifinal and before that as

0:43:38 > 0:43:43well is that they come out and they make their shots early on. We have

0:43:43 > 0:43:49seen the tactic of blanking an early end when they have the hammer and

0:43:49 > 0:43:56making the shots. Both teams are though, to be fair. Three of the

0:43:56 > 0:44:01Swedish team are shooting at 100% at this point. It is still early, and

0:44:01 > 0:44:08then all of the Korean team are shooting over 90%. Haven't had that

0:44:08 > 0:44:17many difficult shots to play though, that is what we have been saying.

0:44:21 > 0:44:26So, Kim Eun-jung, the skip, trying to get round this red guard again.

0:44:26 > 0:44:32Wants to try and lie shot here, they are going to have to sweep hard. I

0:44:32 > 0:44:35don't think it is going to get there.

0:44:35 > 0:44:40She had the perfect line, she was just a little short in weight, so

0:44:40 > 0:44:44this should be a free opportunity for Sweden to have a draw, anywhere

0:44:44 > 0:44:51in the four foot. She needs to bite the red circles.

0:44:51 > 0:44:58So first chance of a two in this gold medal match. Goes to Sweden.

0:44:58 > 0:45:05So just coming up a little short there, the Korean skip.

0:45:06 > 0:45:14So just needs, Jackie was saying, touch the forefoot. Clear ice, in

0:45:14 > 0:45:22front of her.

0:45:33 > 0:45:37Just a bit of a nervous twitch there from hast, as though she was going

0:45:37 > 0:45:49to go, then stopped and off she went again. So a simple shot.14 seconds

0:45:49 > 0:45:52between the hog line should be about right.

0:45:52 > 0:46:02Left in control by the two sweepers. Well you can't fault that shot. But

0:46:02 > 0:46:05to be fair, if you have given these nice easy opportunities to get your

0:46:05 > 0:46:11two early on, it is going to make you feel good, settle down. Sweden

0:46:11 > 0:46:19then have the lead, after three, it is Sweden 2, Korea one.

0:46:19 > 0:46:23Still not quite full. It has been a little quiet compared to the

0:46:23 > 0:46:34excitement of the semifinal.

0:46:34 > 0:46:43A little warm down there.

0:46:51 > 0:46:57Just put, the caption of the medal table up there, Sweden have one more

0:46:57 > 0:47:02gold medal in these Winter Olympics that Korea currently have.

0:47:02 > 0:47:09I think I would have to have another look at that. If Korea won the gold

0:47:09 > 0:47:16they would go above swede none the medal table. I am sure it is of no

0:47:16 > 0:47:20consequence to the eight women down there but they will be selfishly

0:47:20 > 0:47:29thinking about themselves and nothing else here!

0:47:51 > 0:47:55So 2014 Olympic final the average age was nearly 34-and-a-half. This

0:47:55 > 0:48:06year it is under 26. So that is good for sport. We are

0:48:06 > 0:48:13getting new young Fleetwoods in -- athletes in.One of the things it

0:48:13 > 0:48:17shows is the level of dedication really needed to play at the top

0:48:17 > 0:48:22level these days, you can't really have any other career or family or

0:48:22 > 0:48:27anything like that, you need to be full-time, you need to be on the ice

0:48:27 > 0:48:33four or five hours a day n the gym, four or five times a week. Doesn't

0:48:33 > 0:48:37really leave time for anything else. And on the road in the winter. It

0:48:37 > 0:48:42all adds up.To come back to the point about the British women, you

0:48:42 > 0:48:49know, it's a huge commitment as you were saying, and if that British

0:48:49 > 0:48:52women's team certainly are young enough to come back plained again,

0:48:52 > 0:48:57but, the other teams are young as well, so they could be facing a lot

0:48:57 > 0:49:08of these teams in four years if they decide to keep going, as a team.

0:49:10 > 0:49:17Two perfect shots again in this end.

0:49:19 > 0:49:24So you get the impression it is starting to warm up a little bit.

0:49:24 > 0:49:33Korea will want to respond to the two from Sweden. Just going to sit

0:49:33 > 0:49:38off that little.

0:49:52 > 0:49:58Knochenhauer is not going to be happy if she was looking at the

0:49:58 > 0:50:04screen I am looking at. She is languishing, 71%. A couple of shots

0:50:04 > 0:50:10in the first two ends. Didn't quite work out...Us but it is going to be

0:50:10 > 0:50:15less than 71% now. Still early in the game, it is hard to draw a lot

0:50:15 > 0:50:22from the stat, she missed her first stone of the match as well. So...

0:50:22 > 0:50:31Got a zero for that one. So... Korea, looking to try and get

0:50:31 > 0:50:39something going here. She has a great opportunity to catch

0:50:39 > 0:50:47this yellow, tap it on to the red and go across to the wing.Kim

0:50:47 > 0:50:52Seon-yeong.

0:50:57 > 0:51:02That is a crowd pleaser.She has just rolled out though. A little bit

0:51:02 > 0:51:07heavy in weight. You were making the point, Jackie,

0:51:07 > 0:51:12we are watching, if you are sitting at the sides, that is a big gap that

0:51:12 > 0:51:16she has come through, the two reds, if you are sitting at side you can't

0:51:16 > 0:51:29see the gap, we get the as and the ahs as it slides by.

0:51:46 > 0:51:52Well, all of a sudden, weir all cleaned out again. That will make

0:51:52 > 0:51:56Knochenhauer feel a little better. She is creeping closer and closer to

0:51:56 > 0:52:02making these shots now. She had a mess and then a couple of

0:52:02 > 0:52:08half shots but she's getting closer. Her sudden, weir all cleaned out

0:52:08 > 0:52:10again. That will make Knochenhauer feel a little better.She is

0:52:10 > 0:52:12creeping closer and closer to making these shots now.

0:52:12 > 0:52:15She had a mess and then a couple of half shots but she's getting closer.

0:52:15 > 0:52:17Her team-mates will be saying "Will you stop knocking our stones out".

0:52:17 > 0:52:20It is a little unfortunate. So Korea will come round this guard

0:52:20 > 0:52:27again.

0:52:44 > 0:52:49Crowd warming up. Getting into this match now, and we said how slow they

0:52:49 > 0:53:02were to come in, there's a few seats still available.

0:53:08 > 0:53:18So Sara McManus being asked to play an in-turn tap here.

0:53:18 > 0:53:24Clockwise rotation of the stone.

0:53:33 > 0:53:36Unfortunately doesn't set herself. They would have liked to have stay

0:53:36 > 0:53:42in the house there. So another opportunity for Korea to better the

0:53:42 > 0:53:52first draw.

0:54:00 > 0:54:06I don't know if we, we were talking about the way Great Britain played

0:54:06 > 0:54:10against Japan, and weren't wanting to get too in stones in play and try

0:54:10 > 0:54:14and force the issue a bit. Wondering whether Sweden are thinking the same

0:54:14 > 0:54:23thing against Korea. Kept it all nice and clean and we

0:54:23 > 0:54:28have seen some nice draw. Another one there, a hit and roll to take

0:54:28 > 0:54:32out, what we haven't seen is an end where we have had plenty of stones

0:54:32 > 0:54:38in play. That would have been a feature for

0:54:38 > 0:54:44every time I seem to look down as a Korean match during the week, there

0:54:44 > 0:54:50always seems to be lots of stones in the house.

0:54:50 > 0:54:58That was a good example of how defensive the Swedes have being.

0:54:58 > 0:55:03There is the two time champion from 2006, 2010. That was a good

0:55:03 > 0:55:06situation, that shows the difference between defensive and attacking

0:55:06 > 0:55:11curling. They played the run back, if they were playing attacking they

0:55:11 > 0:55:15could have stolen the end, or just forced Korea to score one, instead.

0:55:15 > 0:55:19That was the point I was making. Just don't really seem as though

0:55:19 > 0:55:32they want to engage in that sort of game.Yes, agreed.

0:55:33 > 0:55:38This is way short.Now sure this has the weight.

0:55:38 > 0:55:50-- not sure this has the weight. Well, it's paid off for Sweden.

0:55:58 > 0:56:02Two centre guards there, hiding the forefoots of Anna Hasselborg can

0:56:02 > 0:56:08pull one in behind here.

0:56:08 > 0:56:17Doesn't want to come too far back, if she can just sit top of the tee,

0:56:17 > 0:56:23anywhere in the four foot. The ice makers have made a good job

0:56:23 > 0:56:27of the ice, they are taking a lot of ice to work with it. We saw it in

0:56:27 > 0:56:32the middle of the week straighten up a little. They gave them a bit of a

0:56:32 > 0:56:36sanding, the stones and there was a lot more movement in them. What can

0:56:36 > 0:56:43than in a final, is there is nobody else playing in the other seats and

0:56:43 > 0:56:46the temperature can change and the ice seems to straighten up be the

0:56:46 > 0:56:50girls are taking a lot of ice, so that is good to see.A little heavy

0:56:50 > 0:56:57there from Hasselborg.

0:57:05 > 0:57:12It would be good if they could get the crowd excited. They don't seem

0:57:12 > 0:57:18as involved, and loud. S? It was deafening when they

0:57:18 > 0:57:22managed to defeat Japan yesterday. I think obviously we are assuming a

0:57:22 > 0:57:27lot of people may not have been to too many curling matches before, the

0:57:27 > 0:57:31crowd maybe not sure whether they are supposed to cheer or not. I can

0:57:31 > 0:57:36see lots of kind of hand made signs which have just been politely held

0:57:36 > 0:57:44on laps at the moment. I am looking at one that says go

0:57:44 > 0:57:52garlic girls. There is a few of them.

0:57:53 > 0:58:01So Kim Eun-jung, trying to cook something up here.

0:58:01 > 0:58:04You boys and your Joan, it is too much for me.

0:58:04 > 0:58:12-- jokes.I would have liked that tucked in a bit more, but right in,

0:58:12 > 0:58:21almost into the button. Anna Hasselborg has to be careful

0:58:21 > 0:58:34she doesn't jam it back on to the Korean yellow stone.

0:58:49 > 0:58:55S

0:59:04 > 0:59:11Anna Hasselborg Zen is ready to go here.

0:59:36 > 0:59:43Just looking to get the end side of this,and a little tap. It is a

0:59:43 > 0:59:47lovely stone.She did very well though. She had the right ice in the

0:59:47 > 0:59:50perfect weight.

1:00:00 > 1:00:07Yes, she tapped it in right behind. Not really possible for the Korea to

1:00:07 > 1:00:12come down around the outside and tap it so she now has to look at the run

1:00:12 > 1:00:17back.

1:00:23 > 1:00:27Well, to get to hear she would have to be incredibly accurate from the

1:00:27 > 1:00:31yellow to catch the red right on the nose pretty much. It would jam

1:00:31 > 1:00:37against the background but that yellow you can see at the top of the

1:00:37 > 1:00:43screen, she runs that back in and it is straight and it might just sit

1:00:43 > 1:00:52there.This might just be the shot of the crowds are looking for.If

1:00:52 > 1:00:56this comes through here, there will be a huge cheer. It doesn't look far

1:00:56 > 1:00:59from a shot but there is a fair bit of ice between that yellow and that

1:00:59 > 1:01:10red that is sitting on the button. So Kim Eun-jung, the Koreans slid it

1:01:10 > 1:01:15-- skip is trying to play a bit of a crowd pleaser here but we will also

1:01:15 > 1:01:23get two for her if it comes off.It looks high.Nowhere near. That is a

1:01:23 > 1:01:28steal for Sweden. A nice stone played by Anna Hasselborg but there

1:01:28 > 1:01:36was a lot of pressure on the Koreans skip. Sweden will say that their

1:01:36 > 1:01:40strategy is working so far. They have picked up three and Korea have

1:01:40 > 1:01:44just one from the first end and Sweden or in control of this and

1:01:44 > 1:01:50after four ends they lead by two.

1:02:03 > 1:02:07A long way off with that one really, wasn't she?She was. As they were

1:02:07 > 1:02:11smart they could have swept it in and try to bring it in off the red

1:02:11 > 1:02:21guard beside it.

1:02:21 > 1:02:27guard beside it.Just approaching 1am at home. If you are just coming

1:02:27 > 1:02:34in, this is the gold-medal match between Sweden and Korea, the Garlic

1:02:34 > 1:02:37Girls of Korea. That is what they have been dubbed because of the

1:02:37 > 1:02:40region may come from. They all played together since they were

1:02:40 > 1:02:49young and this Swedish team, with the exception of Sofia Mabergs, they

1:02:49 > 1:02:53have all been together since their junior days. Sofia Mabergs joined

1:02:53 > 1:03:02later. Anna Hasselborg used to do a bit of track and field in her

1:03:02 > 1:03:13younger days, a bit of football as well. A multitalented sportswoman.

1:03:21 > 1:03:30No idea what eventually is, I am thinking 100 hurdles.

1:03:31 > 1:03:39thinking 100 hurdles. I do not know why.

1:04:06 > 1:04:11So, Sophia Mabergs here with an intern guard, she just wants to land

1:04:11 > 1:04:19on the centre line. All of these girls have come through the Swedish

1:04:19 > 1:04:23curling Academy. All of them with a flat brush delivery as well. Very

1:04:23 > 1:04:29common in Sweden. Normally you will see a lot of curlers with the brush

1:04:29 > 1:04:35tucked up behind their back, almost as a stabiliser, but these girls all

1:04:35 > 1:04:43slide with a flat brush delivery. I'm glad you explain that. I thought

1:04:43 > 1:04:49surely you would have to brush with a flat brush.You see the Korean

1:04:49 > 1:04:54girl here has attacked up behind her back and that is the traditional way

1:04:54 > 1:05:04in which they are taught now. All of these Swedish girls have a very low

1:05:04 > 1:05:10delivery and they can get much further and closer to the ice and

1:05:10 > 1:05:17see the Stone a lot better with a flat brush delivery.Just sing a few

1:05:17 > 1:05:21little errors from Korea at the moment. The crowd applauded that one

1:05:21 > 1:05:30but she caught the guard on the way through.

1:05:30 > 1:05:34through. Agnes Knochenhauer can see all of this stone. Sweden are very

1:05:34 > 1:05:39much with the upper hand at the moment. Korea have the hammer in the

1:05:39 > 1:05:45fifth and they really need to get their two.

1:05:48 > 1:05:52their two.Just gaining that little steal their from Korea just changes

1:05:52 > 1:05:57the momentum of the team and the players and I can almost see the

1:05:57 > 1:06:00Swedish girls starting to lift themselves, their communication,

1:06:00 > 1:06:06they seem a little tighter now together.Well, this may please the

1:06:06 > 1:06:14crowd. You might see some rocks getting moved around here.

1:06:23 > 1:06:28No. Can't even get that right. She was trying to drive that one in to

1:06:28 > 1:06:33the two Reds in

1:06:39 > 1:06:48the house Kim Seon-yeong missing out there.

1:06:48 > 1:06:53there.A chance here for Agnes Knochenhauer to make up for the few

1:06:53 > 1:06:57half shots she has been playing. Hit this high garden come across and

1:06:57 > 1:07:03take the yellow out as well and that is a really good shot.It is all

1:07:03 > 1:07:15working for Sweden at the moment. That shouting was coming from the

1:07:15 > 1:07:24family of Anna Hasselborg. They are just down to our right.Agnes

1:07:24 > 1:07:28Knochenhauer and Anna Hasselborg are best friends and they are actually

1:07:28 > 1:07:32share exactly the same birthday, born in the same year and

1:07:32 > 1:07:45everything.Same day and year and city, Stockholm.

1:07:46 > 1:07:50We don't have to wonder what they did after school. Straight to the

1:07:50 > 1:07:56ice rink, I think, the pair of them.

1:08:07 > 1:08:11Again Korea are not getting the cover they were hoping for in the

1:08:11 > 1:08:19yellow stone is sitting in the open here.

1:08:19 > 1:08:23here. Sara McManus will play a controlled weight and she would like

1:08:23 > 1:08:29to catch that stone and it will roll onto the face of the red. It's

1:08:29 > 1:08:42slightly over rolled but now there is a pocket for Korea to come into.

1:08:42 > 1:08:46Yes, it looks great for Sweden at the moment but maybe they are a

1:08:46 > 1:08:50little bit guilty of trying to put too many stones in the house and

1:08:50 > 1:08:54they have all grouped together which, if Korea could just lay one

1:08:54 > 1:08:56in that nice little nest of three stones than it would be very hard

1:08:56 > 1:09:03for Sweden to get anything out.

1:09:12 > 1:09:16Kim Gyung-tae playing third. This is an opportunity to give her skip

1:09:16 > 1:09:28something to work with. -- Tim Cahill I.

1:09:28 > 1:09:33Cahill I. She overtook Tibet.Yes, there is an opportunity of catching

1:09:33 > 1:09:37it slightly on the left-hand side in two reds. I am sure that Anna will

1:09:37 > 1:09:40not be too bothered if she reads some of the Reds about because at

1:09:40 > 1:09:51the moment they are a danger to.

1:10:01 > 1:10:12She is going for the high road and, my goodness, that is a great shot.

1:10:12 > 1:10:17Sarah McManus has, I think, been one of the players of the tournament.

1:10:17 > 1:10:24The Koreans skip can certainly lay claims to that as well.

1:10:28 > 1:10:30claims to that as well. The skips always get the attention but when

1:10:30 > 1:10:35your third is playing as well as Sweden have had, two of them working

1:10:35 > 1:10:45well together. It is a great effect. Can we not adapt Sara McManus and

1:10:45 > 1:10:52take some credit for her?Yes, she has a Scottish background.Her dad

1:10:52 > 1:10:59is from Scotland but she said she is 100%

1:10:59 > 1:11:04100% Swedish and she is certainly doing them proud.We just need to

1:11:04 > 1:11:12pay her more money than!That will please the crowd, getting rid of

1:11:12 > 1:11:20those two.

1:11:20 > 1:11:24those two.They took a little while to consider what shot they would

1:11:24 > 1:11:27play and whether they would hit the other red and coming behind them,

1:11:27 > 1:11:31just the way they were angled that would have protected the red --

1:11:31 > 1:11:34yellow behind it but that was probably a sensible shot for them to

1:11:34 > 1:11:42play, she doesn't want to get herself into too much bother here.

1:12:19 > 1:12:25Yes, it has been a tidy display from Sweden up until this point.A little

1:12:25 > 1:12:36chance here for Kim Eun-jung to hit unrolling behind the red.

1:12:40 > 1:12:43unrolling behind the red.She is just trying to make it difficult to

1:12:43 > 1:12:47Sweden at the moment. She can get a little hit behind, the way Sweden

1:12:47 > 1:12:51are playing at the moment, she would just drive her own redback onto the

1:12:51 > 1:12:59yellow stone behind it. It depends where this one finishes.Nice nails.

1:12:59 > 1:13:09Goals. -- gold.

1:13:21 > 1:13:27Again, applause from the crowd.

1:13:36 > 1:13:39They won't mind if Korea end up blanking this but they are trying to

1:13:39 > 1:13:50make life really difficult for the Koreans skip.Well, you know that it

1:13:50 > 1:13:56Sweden can force the one here and get in at half-time one up with the

1:13:56 > 1:14:00last stone having started the game without the hammer, they can be

1:14:00 > 1:14:07pretty happy with the work of the first half.If she can hit and stick

1:14:07 > 1:14:14it it is not a bad shot. Korea would then maybe try the double or she

1:14:14 > 1:14:17would have to draw into the four foot because hitting would not be of

1:14:17 > 1:14:26benefit to her.

1:14:28 > 1:14:32They are high, in the top half of the rings.She might catch this on

1:14:32 > 1:14:43the inside here. File sorry for the crowd. -- I feel.

1:14:43 > 1:14:47They feel every stone, every yellow stone that is pushed out of the

1:14:47 > 1:14:54house.I am surprised they chose to roll in there, I thought a nose hit

1:14:54 > 1:14:58would have been fine, if...This should have been easier double to

1:14:58 > 1:15:02take, but of course, she may well jam it, and that wouldn't be good

1:15:02 > 1:15:09for Korea. No, I think maybe, well, absolutely.

1:15:09 > 1:15:15There's no real bad result here for Sweden, even...What I would be

1:15:15 > 1:15:18concerned about, if Anna Hasselborg was playing this shot, she would be

1:15:18 > 1:15:26trying to blank the end and hit it across the

1:15:33 > 1:15:39That is exactly the result I thought would come out of that one.

1:15:39 > 1:15:44Well, it's been a great start for Sweden in this gold medal match. The

1:15:44 > 1:15:50crowd so hoping that Korea can lift their game. And get an historic gold

1:15:50 > 1:15:54medal here, but so far, it's been the Swedes who have been very much

1:15:54 > 1:16:03in control, so after five ends, they lead by three. It is 4-1 to Sweden.

1:16:05 > 1:16:08We know the drama can happen at any time. While we wait for the sixth

1:16:08 > 1:16:13end to take players let us get into tweet, we have been asking you to

1:16:13 > 1:16:16get in touch via our hash tash we have asked what your moment of the

1:16:16 > 1:16:22games has been. Loads have been in touch. I will read out some. Graham

1:16:22 > 1:16:30says Ily Christie, her outlook and desire to carry on and win as epip

1:16:30 > 1:16:38miced the perfect sports person. Laura December and Dom Parsons

1:16:38 > 1:16:44medals made me forget a slipped disk. Nicky says Yarnold getting

1:16:44 > 1:16:48gold and I lice Christie. Luke says it has been like an extended holiday

1:16:48 > 1:16:55with very little sleep. I now have a Korean sleeping pattern. Dinner, is

1:16:55 > 1:16:59in two hours' time. Bad new, dinner for us is nine hours' time. So

1:16:59 > 1:17:06serious work to be done. Andy says 3G B skeleton medals. The

1:17:06 > 1:17:11celebration of the short track for the Netherlands and seeing her

1:17:11 > 1:17:17team-mates sharing the euphoria of Olympic gold medal. Led ska winning

1:17:17 > 1:17:27two golds in two different sports. This is sent in by Dom Jones. It is

1:17:27 > 1:17:35called woof sy. Please keep them coming in to our hashtag.

1:17:35 > 1:17:39While we have been watching the curling final we have seen run

1:17:39 > 1:17:44number three of the men's four-man bobsleigh. This is how British sleds

1:17:44 > 1:17:48have got on. Really don't know what is going on.

1:17:48 > 1:17:53There was a mistakes straightaway with the initial hit. The sled come

1:17:53 > 1:18:02backwards. They are not going to have great velocity. 57.8. Some have

1:18:02 > 1:18:10gone 57.6. Lamben is the first one out of the top 17, 18 sled who have

1:18:10 > 1:18:14made that mistake. This is going to cost him. That is why they have been

1:18:14 > 1:18:20to far back. If he gets the rest of the run tidy, he might move forward

1:18:20 > 1:18:25to the Russian sled, but it is braking into a skid. It is not

1:18:25 > 1:18:35happening for them at this Olympic Games.

1:18:35 > 1:18:39I don't think he is going to improve his position.I think he will stay

1:18:39 > 1:18:4617th. He couldn't get past the Russian.

1:18:46 > 1:18:50And more frustration for Deen at what will surely be his final

1:18:50 > 1:19:01Olympic Games.

1:19:02 > 1:19:09That skid away from the push.There was a skid. We have no speed clock

1:19:09 > 1:19:14but they usually carry velocity. Brad made the same mistake. He got

1:19:14 > 1:19:18through that, clean on the first run but the second run it cost him, so,

1:19:18 > 1:19:21a mistake there at the top of the track. This is why the British are

1:19:21 > 1:19:30so far back, is because they are making mistakes at the top. Brad is

1:19:30 > 1:19:33more inexperienced than Lamin, so it is still not where this programme

1:19:33 > 1:19:37should be at the moment. They are both looking like they are going to

1:19:37 > 1:19:42be struggling, to sort of make any inroads into sort of, towards the

1:19:42 > 1:19:49top 15.Brad Hall might jump aPeter Hedblom of Deen. He can't even do

1:19:49 > 1:19:56that. Deen ahead oaf Hall by 200th of a second. Deen in 17th place.

1:19:56 > 1:20:04Brad Hall in 18 thd. They now have a nervy few minutes ahead to confirm

1:20:04 > 1:20:17their top 207 position. So the Brits remain inchanged. Lamin

1:20:17 > 1:20:22Deen's crew in 17th, Hall in 18th. Let us head back to the Curling

1:20:22 > 1:20:27Centre with Steve Cram, Jackie Lockhart and Logan grey. Thank you

1:20:27 > 1:20:34Radzi. The crowd trying to get things going, to support the Korean

1:20:34 > 1:20:38team, who are trailing by three to Sweden who have had an excellent

1:20:38 > 1:20:41start to this gold medal match, very much in control.

1:20:41 > 1:20:49You can see they have scored in the last three ends. Haven't blanked the

1:20:49 > 1:20:53second. Two skips there.

1:21:01 > 1:21:06Sweden have managed to keep a stranglehold on this game, it hasn't

1:21:06 > 1:21:08been the most exciting but just starting to force some errors from

1:21:08 > 1:21:18Korea. So they will say it is working.I

1:21:18 > 1:21:23don't think they have had to take a lot of rest to do it. It is more,

1:21:23 > 1:21:25Sweden have played their shot really well, but they have been simple

1:21:25 > 1:21:31shot, Korea have been guilty of missing a couple of easy ones and it

1:21:31 > 1:21:38has hoped the door for -- opened the door for Sweden.If you remember

1:21:38 > 1:21:47early on, that, catching the guards on the way in. I think Kim

1:21:47 > 1:21:50Seon-yeong started to help set things up, help swede none that

1:21:50 > 1:21:56previous end. Then the skip herself has not been

1:21:56 > 1:22:02at her best so far today. Every time. Sixth end, guards

1:22:02 > 1:22:14drifting into the house. It is those little errors that, as

1:22:14 > 1:22:22the British women found out, you know, they mount up, you keep

1:22:22 > 1:22:26thinking, it's other, but they keep happening.

1:22:26 > 1:22:33It intad habit to get into -- it's a bad habit to get into.Where Korea

1:22:33 > 1:22:38need to use the guards, they need to get back in to this game. Sweden

1:22:38 > 1:22:42will be more than happy to keep putting ends in the books, getting

1:22:42 > 1:22:52closer to the finish line.

1:22:54 > 1:23:02It has gone very quiet in here.

1:23:02 > 1:23:05I I think half the stadium is away for a grilled sausage.Are they

1:23:05 > 1:23:10available?They are. Bunless. Hotdogs without buns. Beautiful.

1:23:10 > 1:23:17Than axe. Thanks. For bringing me one back.

1:23:17 > 1:23:23Not. So Knochenhauer. Second for Sweden, just going to get rid of

1:23:23 > 1:23:30this guard. Starting to make all their shots

1:23:30 > 1:23:40look so easy, straight forward. Sweden have settled into the rhythm

1:23:40 > 1:23:48they normally like to play.

1:23:52 > 1:23:55Korea can't really afford the keep blanking ends at this stage, they

1:23:55 > 1:24:00need to put more points on the board. They will ignore these two

1:24:00 > 1:24:06red stones for the time being. The stone played by Sofia Mabergs with

1:24:06 > 1:24:11her second shot, has stayed in quite a useful position for Korea.

1:24:11 > 1:24:17Come round that at some stage.

1:24:45 > 1:24:51These girls are clinical when it comes to clearing guards, and

1:24:51 > 1:24:55throwing that presighs -- precise precision weight, they aim for the

1:24:55 > 1:24:59brush, it hits the brush and clips out.

1:25:15 > 1:25:19This maybe the last time they try the corner guard. They will make a

1:25:19 > 1:25:25move into the house, pretty soon. There is only so young who can keep

1:25:25 > 1:25:30trying to put these either centres or corners on, depending on which

1:25:30 > 1:25:35area of the end you're at.

1:25:35 > 1:25:43At some point you have to come into the house.

1:25:47 > 1:25:51the house.So Sara McManus for Sweden. Removes that one.

1:25:51 > 1:25:57Wonder whether, you know, they had such a good round-robin, you win

1:25:57 > 1:26:01eight match, their only defeat was to Japan, by two shots and a lot of

1:26:01 > 1:26:06their matches they go out in front early, they kept control of the

1:26:06 > 1:26:09game, and just wondering whether they have even in these semifinal

1:26:09 > 1:26:12against Japan, they were leading that one, I think they got three in

1:26:12 > 1:26:16the first, leading it all the way through, got tight towards the end,

1:26:16 > 1:26:20but just wonder how many times they have been in this sort of situation

1:26:20 > 1:26:26against a good team, three down, half way point.

1:26:26 > 1:26:31It is this position where you need to think outside box and be quite

1:26:31 > 1:26:36drey and spot every opportunity that is available to them, so, they could

1:26:36 > 1:26:39have just played, they are just playing the draw straight round

1:26:39 > 1:26:43here. Which is good. It is a good call. It needs to be

1:26:43 > 1:26:51made though. Run to the back.

1:26:52 > 1:26:57Pretty good shot. Good enough for second.It is important, a nice

1:26:57 > 1:27:07second.

1:27:09 > 1:27:14That had come out the other side. So an opportunity for Sweden just to

1:27:14 > 1:27:22check this out. So taking a bit more ice so she must

1:27:22 > 1:27:30be playing a controlled way.

1:27:35 > 1:27:47So Sara McManus. Can't see much of this.

1:27:54 > 1:28:00But enough away another Korean stone go, every time that happens there is

1:28:00 > 1:28:05another collective sigh goes round the crowd.

1:28:05 > 1:28:09Yes, Sweden quite happy to take that out of the house, the running stone

1:28:09 > 1:28:17as well. Don't want anything for Korea to use, to either jam against

1:28:17 > 1:28:22or sit

1:28:25 > 1:28:28or sit on, or... An opportunity here to probably better the shot, the

1:28:28 > 1:28:38first shot she tried. Just finishing in the T-line would

1:28:38 > 1:28:45be good but they are having to sweep it to get some cover. That hasn't

1:28:45 > 1:28:55finished as much as, can only see an edge.

1:29:01 > 1:29:05Are we going to see the run back from Anna Hasselborg?You are back

1:29:05 > 1:29:10to the first stone in this end again, just coming into the house,

1:29:10 > 1:29:14the attempt of putting a guard up. Somehow Korea need to start getting

1:29:14 > 1:29:22some stones in play. They can change things up because if they run back

1:29:22 > 1:29:25and take this out they are straightforward shots and they are

1:29:25 > 1:29:30making very accurately. The Swedish degree of difficulty is not very

1:29:30 > 1:29:36high.

1:29:36 > 1:29:42high. You can see how well Sweden are playing.

1:29:43 > 1:29:49are playing. So Anna Hasselborg is trying to run this back onto the

1:29:49 > 1:29:56yellow.

1:29:56 > 1:30:01yellow. She gets it. She does not stick that one but she manages to

1:30:01 > 1:30:06get her shooter and it is just biting at the top of the 12 foot so

1:30:06 > 1:30:09they have two in and that please the family. That was a quick shot of

1:30:09 > 1:30:16them there.

1:30:23 > 1:30:27A looks as though Kim Jong is going to play the take out this time

1:30:27 > 1:30:36instead of the draw. -- Kim Eun-jung.

1:30:45 > 1:30:50Kim Eun-jung, her performance so far today has not been allowed to play

1:30:50 > 1:30:53well but she has certainly missed more than we have seen most of the

1:30:53 > 1:30:58week.

1:30:58 > 1:31:07week. Bound to be nervous with so much media attention. The skip in

1:31:07 > 1:31:11particular.This needs to come across the centre line she is hoping

1:31:11 > 1:31:18to get a roll in and it doesn't look as though it is going to.That is

1:31:18 > 1:31:21the issue for them, they just haven't quite been able to get the

1:31:21 > 1:31:28shots to move to where she wants them to. A little high five and the

1:31:28 > 1:31:37crowd were pleased but that was way to flush.

1:31:37 > 1:31:41to flush.Quite a few misses wide as well. It is a common error for the

1:31:41 > 1:31:48Koreans skip today so she may be need to take a little bit less ice,

1:31:48 > 1:31:55but this is all a little bit too easy for Sweden at the moment.

1:32:03 > 1:32:09We have hardly seen any stones, hardly any guards to come round,

1:32:09 > 1:32:15straightforward hits and roles. And then Korea make a little mistake and

1:32:15 > 1:32:24picking up their shots and there is a couple of steels.

1:32:26 > 1:32:29a couple of steels.And are choosing to come down on the other hand this

1:32:29 > 1:32:37time. She got the row across. That one did not roll either.

1:32:44 > 1:32:49Korea will have to hit this on the nose and stick. Sweden are lying to

1:32:49 > 1:32:57macro shots in there at the moment. Dairies Niklas Edin, it looks as

1:32:57 > 1:33:01though he hasn't quite got over winning the silver medal, rather

1:33:01 > 1:33:06than losing the gold. It is always a difficult thing when you lose, you

1:33:06 > 1:33:11are seen as losing when you are in a final with two teams but one wins

1:33:11 > 1:33:15and one loses but you still win the silver medal. I am sure it doesn't

1:33:15 > 1:33:22feel like that to him at the moment. They have to work this one very

1:33:22 > 1:33:27hard.

1:33:27 > 1:33:34hard. She played just the right weight.Even that was sliding by or

1:33:34 > 1:33:39it was in danger of, so the Korean fans get something to cheer. They

1:33:39 > 1:33:43got their one but Sweden are still very much in control of this with

1:33:43 > 1:33:48four ends to go and two up and they have the hammer in the seventh. You

1:33:48 > 1:33:53get the feeling that something needs to happen, and probably not so much

1:33:53 > 1:33:58for how Korea play, but Sweden, if they keep playing like this, I'm

1:33:58 > 1:34:02pretty sure they are just going to control this through unless they

1:34:02 > 1:34:06start making mistakes. It looks a difficult one. There is the curling

1:34:06 > 1:34:13hat. In the front of the stand there. I am not sure.No, I am not

1:34:13 > 1:34:20going to get one of those, no.I'm sure that ladies very proud of her

1:34:20 > 1:34:28curling hat but not for us. Everything with Sweden at the

1:34:28 > 1:34:35moment.

1:34:35 > 1:34:38moment.Big props to Niklas Edin for being in here this morning to

1:34:38 > 1:34:44support the women's team. They are on their way at the moment of the

1:34:44 > 1:34:56gold-medal. He looks like he had had a bit of a sleepless night.

1:34:58 > 1:35:00a bit of a sleepless night.We're all slipping up a little today.

1:35:00 > 1:35:06We're not even on the ice.

1:35:17 > 1:35:21Korea took that one into the house there and I really thought they

1:35:21 > 1:35:26needed to play short.They have done that a couple of times.They are

1:35:26 > 1:35:30playing right into the hands of Sweden at the moment who will be

1:35:30 > 1:35:42happy if there is something in the house and they will hit everything.

1:35:44 > 1:35:52She's going to try and put the Centre guard on again.

1:36:04 > 1:36:09It looks as though we are going to get a guard this time and Korea

1:36:09 > 1:36:15really need to get their stealing boots on at the moment.I have been

1:36:15 > 1:36:19a little disappointed in the atmosphere as well and that is

1:36:19 > 1:36:22partly because Korea haven't got anything going on the ice and there

1:36:22 > 1:36:29is not too much for the crowd to cheer about.

1:36:32 > 1:36:37cheer about.I think Sweden have called a very similar game to what

1:36:37 > 1:36:41GB did last night. I think this is how GB hoped it would pan out and

1:36:41 > 1:36:44they hope they would get some easy misses from the opposition and it

1:36:44 > 1:36:49didn't come last night but they have today. I also think that Sweden have

1:36:49 > 1:36:55played a much more accurate game. You can play that game, but you have

1:36:55 > 1:37:00got to make your shots very, very accurate as well and they just kept

1:37:00 > 1:37:08missing little things. How many times did we hear, that's fine. Just

1:37:08 > 1:37:11trying to keep each other encouragement knowing deep down that

1:37:11 > 1:37:16they were quite making their shots. I am sure had they done then they

1:37:16 > 1:37:23could have kept control of that match, and even when they had their

1:37:23 > 1:37:32noses in front it looks pretty good until the last couple of ends.

1:37:45 > 1:37:48Credit to Korea here. I don't know if she should have put a corner on

1:37:48 > 1:37:54there, she should Apple to centre on.I think they are thinking that

1:37:54 > 1:37:57if they put a centre on it was a good chance for a double takeout for

1:37:57 > 1:38:01Sweden so will be difficult for them to steal with the guards where are

1:38:01 > 1:38:04now.

1:38:19 > 1:38:27Agnes Knochenhauer. A straightforward take out for her. It

1:38:27 > 1:38:36is all easy business for Sweden.

1:38:52 > 1:38:55She was just attempting to put that back in place and she has made a

1:38:55 > 1:39:07reasonable effort at it. She could have been a little bit closer.

1:39:14 > 1:39:19She hasn't changed her expression at all, the Koreans skip, but she must

1:39:19 > 1:39:22know that something has to go their way pretty quickly here. We are into

1:39:22 > 1:39:28the seventh end. Sweden have got complete control of this match at

1:39:28 > 1:39:39the moment. We have the hammer here. There are two in the house.

1:40:04 > 1:40:16Just a change up now. They are going to try and draw in.

1:40:22 > 1:40:28The skip coming to help. A good try but it is still very visible, that

1:40:28 > 1:40:36stone.Yes, that didn't finish as much as the girls I think thought it

1:40:36 > 1:40:40was going to finish their so Sweden will be able to see most of this and

1:40:40 > 1:40:50they will be hoping to get hits on a roll across to the other side.

1:40:50 > 1:40:51roll across to the other side.You almost feel Sarah McManus could do

1:40:51 > 1:41:02this with drive shot at the moment. -- with her eyes shut at the moment.

1:41:02 > 1:41:08That will just roll out. It is OK though.They won't be too worried by

1:41:08 > 1:41:13that. They didn't want to sit and stay where it was because it was

1:41:13 > 1:41:20going to give a better opportunity for Korea to come in and sit on it

1:41:20 > 1:41:26so another opportunity to try and better the first draw.I think Korea

1:41:26 > 1:41:29need to be a bit careful here because there are a couple of

1:41:29 > 1:41:32threads lying around and if they keep playing this drawn they do not

1:41:32 > 1:41:36make it they will lose three and essentially the game. I think for me

1:41:36 > 1:41:40if they really want to force the issue they should put in a centre

1:41:40 > 1:41:47guard like you said earlier.She needs better cover on the one foot

1:41:47 > 1:41:51rather than here on the wing. The Swedish girls are hitting so

1:41:51 > 1:42:01perfectly. This is going to be short. Capturing the guard.

1:42:01 > 1:42:02short. Capturing the guard.Nothing is going right for Korea at the

1:42:02 > 1:42:11moment. Kim Gyung-tae... Well, none of the McBean at their best. They

1:42:11 > 1:42:14started with some fairly straightforward shots but the errors

1:42:14 > 1:42:18have been creeping in and Sweden have been on top of their game here.

1:42:18 > 1:42:32They have been asked to do anything spectacular. They didn't need to.

1:42:33 > 1:42:37Another fairly easy shot here for Sarah McManus. This time she will

1:42:37 > 1:42:40want to stick in there.

1:42:49 > 1:42:59Just a little role, not much.The players getting a little bit close

1:42:59 > 1:43:02to the centre line burn-out Korea are starting to panic and thinking,

1:43:02 > 1:43:11OK, are not ready to finish this just yet so we will get rid of some

1:43:11 > 1:43:15red granite.The crowd are trying to lift the Korean team who can

1:43:15 > 1:43:23probably sense that it is not going their way. So Kim Eun-jung, with her

1:43:23 > 1:43:28eyes on the target of those two reds.

1:43:40 > 1:43:48Can she move these two? The roar builds at the stone comes down and

1:43:48 > 1:43:52that will give them something to cheer about. Improves the situation

1:43:52 > 1:43:57slightly.

1:44:03 > 1:44:09Sweden still have a great chance to score here.A great chance to score

1:44:09 > 1:44:20for Sweden. She is just going to draw across to

1:44:20 > 1:44:25the other side of the house. She is lying one at the moment.

1:44:25 > 1:44:41If she can get this level on the opposite side

1:44:46 > 1:44:53of the rings... So staid's game and Anna Hasselborg is drawing and

1:44:53 > 1:44:57hitting equally, 94% on both of her draws and take outs.

1:44:57 > 1:45:04-- today's game.

1:45:16 > 1:45:25Plays a shot and lets her sweepers take control. Part of the role is to

1:45:25 > 1:45:32manage the weight here. Sweep it if it needs it, leave it if it doesn't.

1:45:32 > 1:45:41Nicely placed. She can...Ever so slightly come

1:45:41 > 1:45:49behind the T-line so Korea is going to try and sit on top of that.

1:45:49 > 1:45:54She needs to make a good shot at some point. This would be an

1:45:54 > 1:46:01opportune moment.

1:46:01 > 1:46:05opportune moment.The only failing there was just drifting past the

1:46:05 > 1:46:08T-line, so Korea will make a freeze, they are pretty much putting the

1:46:08 > 1:46:11game on the line here, if but if they want to have any chance of

1:46:11 > 1:46:19getting back in to this, they really need to make this shot well.

1:46:19 > 1:46:23If she getting this horribly wrong, there is a chance of three for

1:46:23 > 1:46:31Sweden. -- gets. She wants to sit on top of

1:46:31 > 1:46:36that red and lie shot. Look at that accuracy s only 56% on draw shots

1:46:36 > 1:46:42and she has been so good all week. It is looking high at the moment. It

1:46:42 > 1:46:46is going to cross a long way across that line if she wants to get on top

1:46:46 > 1:46:53of it.Trying hard, it is just going to miss.The perfect weight.Almost

1:46:53 > 1:47:00no curl. It is doing nothing up there at the moment.

1:47:00 > 1:47:05A real opportunity now for Anna Hasselborg to get this in the nose,

1:47:05 > 1:47:12play a comfortable weight and pick up a three here.She could pretty

1:47:12 > 1:47:17much grab the gold medal here, with a good shot for swoopeden.

1:47:17 > 1:47:23-- Sweden. If they got three they would be five ahead.

1:47:23 > 1:47:28With just three ends left. And we have seen those sort of scores

1:47:28 > 1:47:32overturned, but the way this match is going, the way the two teams are

1:47:32 > 1:47:40play, you can see there, hanging her head. The lead and the second there.

1:47:40 > 1:47:49Watching on. As Hasselborg has the chance, a huge

1:47:49 > 1:47:51opportunity here for the Swedish skip.

1:47:51 > 1:47:58And she knows it. Just needs to come down here, with a

1:47:58 > 1:48:03little bit of weight. Catch this Korean yellow, pretty much on the

1:48:03 > 1:48:15nose. Sit with the shooter. Has she got it? Yes, she has.

1:48:15 > 1:48:20Well, the sticks are raised, the brushes go aloft, and Sweden know

1:48:20 > 1:48:26that was a huge shot, and applauded by the two time Olympic gold

1:48:26 > 1:48:31medallist Annette norberg in the stands, it is 7-2 in favour of

1:48:31 > 1:48:36Sweden. Seven ends played, just three left

1:48:36 > 1:48:40to go. Korea will have the hammer in the eighth and perhaps the tenth.

1:48:40 > 1:48:47The crowd doing their best to get behind their team, but they are not

1:48:47 > 1:48:52playing well enough, I don't think and also Sweden just have a grip on

1:48:52 > 1:48:56this match that they have had for almost since the second end and are

1:48:56 > 1:49:00not letting go at all.

1:49:03 > 1:49:07An Olympic gold medal would be great redemption for Anna Hasselborg as

1:49:07 > 1:49:14well. She...She has lost so many final, so, so many finals.At the

1:49:14 > 1:49:19European Championships in Glasgow, she had a fairly routine final shot

1:49:19 > 1:49:23to beat Republican, and miss -- Russia and missed it. And it was a

1:49:23 > 1:49:27horrible scene, really.That is the one thing, they are a great team but

1:49:27 > 1:49:32that is the one thing I would say about them, they tend to, and it's a

1:49:32 > 1:49:36terrible thing to say but they tend to bottle it, when they came to that

1:49:36 > 1:49:39final Championship when it was close. She has been a long time

1:49:39 > 1:49:44waiting for this to happen and they have a huge lead and I don't for see

1:49:44 > 1:49:50them giving this up at all.There is no way she is bottling it today.She

1:49:50 > 1:49:58is playing 98%.What is it they say, everything comes to he who waits?

1:49:58 > 1:50:04All these terminologies but that is what is happening here today.

1:50:04 > 1:50:08Korea have frozen, on the other hand. It is a bit too big an

1:50:08 > 1:50:16occasion for them at this stage of their career.And they have that

1:50:16 > 1:50:20level of expectation, the whole nation watching, we have said there

1:50:20 > 1:50:26was almost half of the nation percentage wise watched their

1:50:26 > 1:50:31semifinal against Japan, and so many media here. They have never been in

1:50:31 > 1:50:34that situation before. It is something you can't plan for.They

1:50:34 > 1:50:38have nothing to be ashamed of. They have had a tremendous week, they

1:50:38 > 1:50:45have played extremely well.TaThey have won nine out of listen games at

1:50:45 > 1:50:49the Olympic Games.Maybe just the pressure of this final, is really

1:50:49 > 1:50:56telling on the girls now. Noo Sweden are starting to throw

1:50:56 > 1:51:00stones away. They know that, they don't want to give any help

1:51:00 > 1:51:06whatsoever to the Koreans. And this is one of the things about

1:51:06 > 1:51:10curling as well, that you almost feel like there, you should be able

1:51:10 > 1:51:14to play your joke or something and get double score, or...Because when

1:51:14 > 1:51:19you are so far up you start playing this clinical game where you blast

1:51:19 > 1:51:24everything you see.I ambit facetious, Sweden have earned their

1:51:24 > 1:51:30position here, and they have every right to just play this out.

1:51:30 > 1:51:36Not give Korea any opportunities, we still have three ends to go, and I

1:51:36 > 1:51:40say only, they are five behind. Get a two, a steal and a two. Don't look

1:51:40 > 1:51:45at pep like that. I am trying to keep people interested.There is

1:51:45 > 1:51:52every likelihood that Korea could get a two here, because there is two

1:51:52 > 1:51:56guards up and Anna can only take one of them. But you have to play the

1:51:56 > 1:52:01score board after that, and these girls won't be at all worried by

1:52:01 > 1:52:04losing that two because they get the hammer straight back and they can

1:52:04 > 1:52:11score.

1:52:13 > 1:52:16Sofia Mabergs is having a perfect game. You have to put her in

1:52:16 > 1:52:20contention for the best league in the world, in the women's game.How

1:52:20 > 1:52:25would that be if she finished this Olympic final, winning a Olympic

1:52:25 > 1:52:28gold medal on 100%?She could confidently say she contributed

1:52:28 > 1:52:30well.

1:52:53 > 1:52:58One of the great things about this Korean team they don't give up.

1:52:58 > 1:53:00Their demeanour doesn't change, it doesn't matter whether they are

1:53:00 > 1:53:04winning by five or losing by five, they are still plugging away, still

1:53:04 > 1:53:15trying to make things happen.

1:53:22 > 1:53:27So Knochenhauer. Slightly shaky start, certainly settled down to her

1:53:27 > 1:53:32game.

1:53:33 > 1:53:38Removing the guard. And they will want that red out of

1:53:38 > 1:53:49the way also. Away it goes. Is Medal ceremony will be after this

1:53:49 > 1:53:53match.

1:53:53 > 1:53:58Bronze medallist Japan. I am sure they are kicking round somewhere. I

1:53:58 > 1:54:07haven't seen them in here yet. I am sure they won't be too far away.

1:54:15 > 1:54:19So this the opportunity for Korea to use that corner guard they have got

1:54:19 > 1:54:23and bring another yellow in. I don't think this is going to have

1:54:23 > 1:54:28the legs though. They are sweeping really hard, if

1:54:28 > 1:54:33they can get it biting it would be good.

1:54:33 > 1:54:38Good try but not quite enough.Not in the house but it's still there,

1:54:38 > 1:54:42it's still a corner, so Anna is going to remove the top one and then

1:54:42 > 1:54:46hopefully Korea will use the yellow they have got to come round behind

1:54:46 > 1:54:56again.

1:55:23 > 1:55:36The girls are very relaxed. That is a nice position to be in.

1:55:38 > 1:55:42It a pity that Korea haven't been able to really get this crowd into

1:55:42 > 1:55:46the match, they have tried their best, both sides, I guess the crowd

1:55:46 > 1:55:52and the players have tried to get something going.

1:55:52 > 1:55:57It is going to keep going. That's been their game today. Not

1:55:57 > 1:56:04getting the shots to work in the way it has been all week.

1:56:04 > 1:56:08And with every little mistake their chances of pulling this back

1:56:08 > 1:56:18disappear.

1:56:23 > 1:56:28This game is almost going similar to the men's game in the fact that one

1:56:28 > 1:56:32team are well ahead, and the other, and these girlfriends, their hearts

1:56:32 > 1:56:34will be pumping at the moment but they have to keep themselves calm

1:56:34 > 1:56:42because they can see the end is close.Yes, and no stones kicking

1:56:42 > 1:56:48round, that is also great for them. What is nice about the currents

1:56:48 > 1:56:52situation is they are so far ahead, that they can only enjoy these last

1:56:52 > 1:56:58moments of the game. When it goes down to wire, you are almost in a

1:56:58 > 1:57:02state of panic for the last few stones, or last couple of events. I

1:57:02 > 1:57:06think the elation is so different, if it does come down to that last

1:57:06 > 1:57:12sown of the last send end, it is so tense, where you have, kind of

1:57:12 > 1:57:19calmed down and as the enjoyment just as good or is it muted? Another

1:57:19 > 1:57:25good shot from Korea.Nicely placing it. Freezing it against the yellow

1:57:25 > 1:57:35that was left out there.

1:57:58 > 1:58:03So Anna Hasselborg goes through the same routine every single time she

1:58:03 > 1:58:10throws her stone.Good cleaner isn't she.Does, cleaned her stone, her

1:58:10 > 1:58:16shoe, stands up, sits down, she does the

1:58:50 > 1:58:56A pity for the crowd. Many of these may have been watching curling live

1:58:56 > 1:59:03for the first time. They would have so much hope their team could win

1:59:03 > 1:59:09the gold medal.

1:59:09 > 1:59:13the gold medal. These women have played eight wins in the round

1:59:13 > 1:59:23robin, just the one loss.

1:59:23 > 1:59:29The most important one is this one for them.I think it's a huge

1:59:29 > 1:59:35accomplishment, not just for Korean curling, but they're definitely

1:59:35 > 1:59:41starting to close the gap on the more traditional curling nations.

1:59:41 > 1:59:45And the rest are catching up or even passing Canada at the moment which

1:59:45 > 1:59:50is really exciting for the world of curling. What these Korean women are

1:59:50 > 1:59:56doing is going to have a very long lasting legacy here in Korea.

1:59:56 > 2:00:01They're hoping they'll be able to build on this and develop new

2:00:01 > 2:00:05facilities. I think it's only going to be good for Korean curling.

2:00:05 > 2:00:14They've got a very bright future, even this team themselves.

2:00:22 > 2:00:24even this team themselves.So Anna Hasselborg with her last stone of

2:00:24 > 2:00:29this end. Doing what she's done all day long here is cleaning things up.

2:00:29 > 2:00:39Leaves it there as a bit of a tempter. She left home, her home

2:00:39 > 2:00:47town at 16 to go and be part of the academy as a youngster. Said they'd

2:00:47 > 2:01:00won the world junior championships. Muirhead was a prolific winner. Anna

2:01:00 > 2:01:05Hasselborg won the world junior title with two of her team-mates

2:01:05 > 2:01:11from this team.

2:01:15 > 2:01:19from this team. And now fulfilling the ultimate goal of winning an

2:01:19 > 2:01:25Olympic gold, we're pretty sure.

2:01:30 > 2:01:377-3. 2 to go. And if they were to pull this back it would be one of

2:01:37 > 2:01:46the greatest Olympic comebacks of history.

2:01:47 > 2:01:53It's a shame the crowd are just getting into it now. We didn't hear

2:01:53 > 2:01:58anything from them in the first half. It's almost too late for the

2:01:58 > 2:02:04home support.They obviously are realising the writing's on the wall

2:02:04 > 2:02:11here. Doing their best to politely raise the temperature a little bit.

2:02:11 > 2:02:16But for Sweden they're just trying to stay cool. Not get too

2:02:16 > 2:02:24complacent. Not make any mistakes. Any huge mistakes that could give

2:02:24 > 2:02:39Korea even a little glimmer of hope. Sweden have just been so much in

2:02:39 > 2:02:43control. Even the first end when Korea got their one. Picking up

2:02:43 > 2:02:51shots. Being patient. Nothing spectacular.They will be wanting

2:02:51 > 2:02:58this to come to an end, though. It's hard when you're up and you're just

2:02:58 > 2:03:07thinking you want it to finish. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

2:03:07 > 2:03:19They have to focus. Here is a difficult shot.Mabergs was thinking

2:03:19 > 2:03:26she will shoot 100% in the Olympics. Maybe she will just make it.That

2:03:26 > 2:03:34looks wide.It's very close.She has got it.Keeping her 100% record as

2:03:34 > 2:03:42far as I'm concerned.Icing on the cake, really. Just turned a little.

2:03:42 > 2:03:56Has been very straight down there. These four have played so well

2:03:56 > 2:04:01together.

2:04:06 > 2:04:12together. You wouldn't know if she was winning, losing, having the

2:04:12 > 2:04:21worst day of her life out here, Kim EunJung. So trying to put together

2:04:21 > 2:04:24one out there.

2:04:45 > 2:04:56Another tech shot here from Mabergs.

2:05:00 > 2:05:04She is going to manage this. They won't mind it, it's in the house.

2:05:04 > 2:05:10That's a great shot. Doesn't matter it's in there. She's cleared up the

2:05:10 > 2:05:19four foot. She's played wonderfully well.

2:05:25 > 2:05:28well.Maintains her perfect record, Mabergs.

2:05:42 > 2:05:49They have to get this one across. Is it going to beat? Yes. All of them

2:05:49 > 2:05:54are sweeping that.

2:06:03 > 2:06:09So a wonderful game of curling here from the Swedish girls. Hopefully

2:06:09 > 2:06:13we'll still get some curling fans who are staying up watching tonight.

2:06:13 > 2:06:19If you want to go and try this sport, see if you can be as slick

2:06:19 > 2:06:26and as graceful as these girls up here in the Olympic finals, you

2:06:26 > 2:06:30could go to www.trycurling.com. Put your post code in. See where the

2:06:30 > 2:06:37local ice rink is and give it a go. All ages can play. If you fancy

2:06:37 > 2:06:44trying any other sport you've watched at the Winter Olympics, BBC

2:06:44 > 2:06:51Get Inspired is another area to look in. Pop in your post code and see

2:06:51 > 2:06:55what activities are in your area. Keeping yourself healthy is always a

2:06:55 > 2:07:02good thing.

2:07:14 > 2:07:21This is a bit like being 3-0 down with five minutes left to play. Just

2:07:21 > 2:07:31hoping something is going to happen. It does happen in sport.And in

2:07:31 > 2:07:38curling we can get a scenario where one stone changes things. We've

2:07:38 > 2:07:42never had in this whole final is a situation where we've got quite a

2:07:42 > 2:07:48few stones in play, in the house, where you're thinking, the sort of

2:07:48 > 2:07:52thing that Eve Muirhead had yesterday, you-a big shot to get to

2:07:52 > 2:07:59or give up a -- you have a big shot to get to or give up a 1. Nearly.

2:07:59 > 2:08:03There's never been that cluster of stones all stuck in the one foot or

2:08:03 > 2:08:09the centre. It's been quite a very clean game.I think that's been a

2:08:09 > 2:08:17deliberate ploy by Sweden. They're playing to the crowd a little bit

2:08:17 > 2:08:25now. They're relaxing. Every stone that goes by, as I said earlier,

2:08:25 > 2:08:35that gold medal ever closer.That was almost a bit of an exhibition

2:08:35 > 2:08:49shot to finish there from Agnes. Four more to come for Sweden. Korea

2:08:49 > 2:08:58still trying as hard as they can.

2:09:03 > 2:09:08And that's all they can do. They're not quite putting the stones where

2:09:08 > 2:09:19they want so they will keep trying. Sara McManus has been absolutely

2:09:19 > 2:09:25superb. I've enjoyed watching her play. Doesn't matter what shot she's

2:09:25 > 2:09:32been asked to make she's been very accurate.

2:09:35 > 2:09:41accurate.Sara McManus has been asked to I think run the top yellow

2:09:41 > 2:09:47into the back ones. Oh, no, she's come past the side. Great shot.

2:09:47 > 2:10:00Ping, ping. Out they go.Yeah, I mean, their whole demeanour, they've

2:10:00 > 2:10:07got just that comfortable lead of four stones and they can relax and

2:10:07 > 2:10:13play some really, really impressive curling.

2:10:13 > 2:10:18curling.So Sara McManus with a superb shot there. Taking both of

2:10:18 > 2:10:24those Korean stones. And now Korea will keep trying again. Trying to

2:10:24 > 2:10:37use that guard that's out there, the corner guard. Get something working.

2:10:41 > 2:10:46They're all just plugging away. Another nice draw in the guard from

2:10:46 > 2:10:51Korea.Sweden get a little bit overconfident but they're running

2:10:51 > 2:10:58out of stones here and running out of opportunities.

2:11:00 > 2:11:04of opportunities.So that is right in behind the corner.That's like

2:11:04 > 2:11:09one of those things you see at the start of all four of them coming to

2:11:09 > 2:11:15play light. You know what I mean. Never mind. Charlie's Angels or

2:11:15 > 2:11:20something. They all walk up to the camera and look and end up in a

2:11:20 > 2:11:25line. The four of them have been sensational all week. And they've

2:11:25 > 2:11:33found their best form at the right time, beating Great Britain in the

2:11:33 > 2:11:42semifinal. Played well on that occasion. And they have been

2:11:42 > 2:11:49relentless in this final.So what's the decision? Going to take away the

2:11:49 > 2:11:58high corner? Looking to just skinny that and maybe come across. Don't

2:11:58 > 2:12:03think, it's way too high to get some of the reds. But if she catches it

2:12:03 > 2:12:09thin enough.You wouldn't put anything past McManus at the minute,

2:12:09 > 2:12:13would you?

2:12:26 > 2:12:33They can't hear me down there, can they?If you're concerned at all

2:12:33 > 2:12:38that you're going to struggle with coming off the curling over the last

2:12:38 > 2:12:43two weeks and gain some post competition blues, then there is

2:12:43 > 2:12:47going to be some more kind of bonus coverage, if you like, to help you

2:12:47 > 2:12:53come off it slowly. We have got a challenge kind of event between the

2:12:53 > 2:12:58two British Olympic teams - the men's and the women's against the

2:12:58 > 2:13:04reigning Scottish champions crowned in the last few weeks. The women's

2:13:04 > 2:13:09champions and the best of three games in Perth. And you can catch

2:13:09 > 2:13:13some of the coverage on BBC Sport. Go to the website to find out

2:13:13 > 2:13:18details about that. And the world juniors are coming up in Aberdeen at

2:13:18 > 2:13:25the start of March too. So plenty more curling to feast your eyes on.

2:13:37 > 2:13:44That maybe sums up that exclamation. That is not moving at all. Straight

2:13:44 > 2:13:54all the way down almost. Although it's in there, it didn't turn,

2:13:54 > 2:14:01hardly curling.

2:14:03 > 2:14:09So this is a dilemma. These stones are pretty much just biting the

2:14:09 > 2:14:15eight foot, touching it. Do you draw to the one foot and hit or hit and

2:14:15 > 2:14:19roll and lose one? That's where the strategy of the game and the tactics

2:14:19 > 2:14:23of the game come into play. You really have to play the shot you're

2:14:23 > 2:14:27most comfortable with. As long as you call the shot and you make it,

2:14:27 > 2:14:35it's the right shot I think.

2:14:46 > 2:14:51So do of course have the hammer -- Sweden do of course have the hammer

2:14:51 > 2:14:57in this ninth end. They could wrap it up here. Korea could keep it

2:14:57 > 2:15:02going.

2:15:03 > 2:15:10going. Sweden now lie shot. They'll just try and use this red and try

2:15:10 > 2:15:15and tuck in behind the red at the top of the house. Still trying,

2:15:15 > 2:15:27Korea. Still hoping that a mistake appears from nowhere.

2:15:27 > 2:15:34appears from nowhere. It would have to be a massive error from

2:15:34 > 2:15:40Hasselborg, which I don't think will happen. There is no evidence she

2:15:40 > 2:15:49will make any big mistakes based on the play today.

2:15:50 > 2:15:53the play today. Kim EunJung trying her best to keep her team hanging on

2:15:53 > 2:15:58here. She's not been at her best today, that's for sure. But really

2:15:58 > 2:16:03hasn't been allowed to play, hasn't been allowed to get her team into

2:16:03 > 2:16:14this match at all. The crowd just cheering that one.

2:16:14 > 2:16:18cheering that one. The opportunity of a gold medal has pretty much

2:16:18 > 2:16:23disappeared. The silver medal, as we said earlier, is something which I'm

2:16:23 > 2:16:27not sure kneof them would have dreamt about about, thought about

2:16:27 > 2:16:31before these Olympic Games started. They've been the stars of the show

2:16:31 > 2:16:36for much of the week but they've had to play second fiddle to Sweden

2:16:36 > 2:16:43today. I just wonder if she gets the one here, whether we'll see a hand

2:16:43 > 2:16:51shake. It will be 8-3.

2:16:51 > 2:16:53shake. It will be 8-3. So Anna Hasselborg, Sara McManus watching

2:16:53 > 2:16:57on. The Swedish team have been by far the best in this final and this

2:16:57 > 2:17:04could well be the end of the match here. She just wants to get a one.

2:17:04 > 2:17:12Which she does. Sweden lead 8-3. Now what's going to happen here? The

2:17:12 > 2:17:17Korean team come and have a chat with each other. Sweden know the

2:17:17 > 2:17:21gold medal is theirs. There's no way they're going to give up five in the

2:17:21 > 2:17:29last end. Is it worth going on?I really expected to see these girls

2:17:29 > 2:17:37shake hands.Here we go. It's Sweden's gold medal. A clinical

2:17:37 > 2:17:41performance from Sweden. Controlled the match from the early stages.

2:17:41 > 2:17:47Never allowed Korea to get the crowd going, get them excited. And they

2:17:47 > 2:17:53are jumping for joy. And Korea have got so much to be proud of. Not the

2:17:53 > 2:17:58gold medal they and their country hoped for. That goes to Sweden. The

2:17:58 > 2:18:02third time Sweden have won the gold medal in the last four Olympic Games

2:18:02 > 2:18:06and it was a silver the last time. They have been getting better and

2:18:06 > 2:18:11better all the way through the competition. The victors over Great

2:18:11 > 2:18:15Britain in the semifinals. They've now they'ven Korea in the final.

2:18:15 > 2:18:21Sweden -- they've beaten Korea in the final. Sweden win the gold. And

2:18:21 > 2:18:32Korea settle for silver. Well, three of them have been together for so

2:18:32 > 2:18:39long and Hasselborg and the two-time Olympic must have enjoyed that --

2:18:39 > 2:18:50champion must have enjoyed that. Congratulations to Sweden. Sweden

2:18:50 > 2:18:56too good. In their fourth consecutive Olympic curling final,

2:18:56 > 2:19:00winning three of them. We saw some sports history because that was

2:19:00 > 2:19:08Korea's first-ever medal in curling. Congratulations to Sweden and Korea.

2:19:08 > 2:19:13It's with regards to tonight's closing ceremony. The IOC executive

2:19:13 > 2:19:16board has recommended that Russian athletes should not be allowed to

2:19:16 > 2:19:21march under their own flag. The full membership will vote on that

2:19:21 > 2:19:24proposal later on today and of course we'll keep you updated as

2:19:24 > 2:19:29things happen, as soon as they do. On a lighter note, however, Twitter

2:19:29 > 2:19:34- we've been asking you to get in touch. And asking you what is your

2:19:34 > 2:19:40moment of the Games? Lots of you have been in touch. "It is simply

2:19:40 > 2:19:44Shaun White. The halfpipe gold medal. It's amazing how we pulled it

2:19:44 > 2:19:48out of the bag when it seemed all over for him." "Thanks for getting

2:19:48 > 2:19:55me through the nights due to the last few days of pregnancy. Arnold

2:19:55 > 2:20:03and Morgan for me." Good luck with your birth. A few names on offer. We

2:20:03 > 2:20:13have Billy, Lizzie, Laura and Dom. Then we have Stu who says, "When Don

2:20:13 > 2:20:19Parsons won bronze in skeleton, I think I'm dreaming." No, you did win

2:20:19 > 2:20:26an Olympic medal. "The commentary team of Tim Ward anded Lee

2:20:26 > 2:20:30informative, descriptive, very humorous. Get them their own chat

2:20:30 > 2:20:40show. He said he came with crayons and left with a Monet." Hopefully

2:20:40 > 2:20:44more lines from the commentary team. Now, though, while we've been

2:20:44 > 2:20:49speaking there is action happening over at the Olympic
