Welcome to the 2018 Winter Olympics

from South Korea. We're at the

0:01:580:02:03

halfway mark already but still so

much drama led to one fold.

0:02:030:02:08

We've experienced the best winter

sport has to offer but we've also

0:02:080:02:10

seen delays and postponements

0:02:100:02:11

as the weather has taken its toll

on the Alpine schedule.

0:02:110:02:16

And we've just had an update, there

will be a delay in the women's super

0:02:160:02:20

jeep. We will keep you updated as

soon as we hear anything. All that

0:02:200:02:24

is left to do, sit back and enjoy

the ride because here is what is

0:02:240:02:28

coming up.

0:02:280:02:31

Great Britain's women sit in third

place in the curling table midway

0:02:310:02:34

through the round robin

stage of the competition.

0:02:340:02:36

Today, the bronze medallists

from Sochi face Denmark.

0:02:360:02:40

We're hoping we'll

see the great Lindsey Vonn in action

0:02:400:02:43

in the women's super-g.

0:02:430:02:45

At present, the start

is scheduled for 3am.

0:02:450:02:48

The men's singles

reaches its conclusion

0:02:480:02:52

in the figure skating with

Japan's Yuzuru Hanyu going for gold.

0:02:520:02:55

And Great Britain's Katie

Summerhayes and Izzy Atkin go

0:02:550:02:59

in the women's ski slopestyle

with the final at 4am.

0:02:590:03:06

This is the schedule for the night,

staying with Eve Muirhead and the

0:03:080:03:12

curlers. On the red button, you

conceive Summerhayes and Izzy Atkin

0:03:120:03:16

can qualify for the ski slopestyle

final from from 1am. At 3am,

0:03:160:03:21

hopefully, we will bring you the

women's super-g, weather permitting

0:03:210:03:25

and the red button will have the

figure skating and then we will have

0:03:250:03:29

the ski slopestyle final from Fourie

M. Before we join the curlers, let's

0:03:290:03:34

talk about social media.

0:03:340:03:36

M. Before we join the curlers, let's

talk about social media.

0:03:360:03:37

The lower last week of the games,

you have sent in some incredible

0:03:370:03:40

pictures and tweets. The hashtag is

#bbcolympics. Because it might be

0:03:400:03:46

the morning of Saturday, here, where

you are, the night is young and also

0:03:460:03:51

it is Friday night so where are you?

What are you up to and what has been

0:03:510:03:55

your favourite winter sport so far?

Why don't you try to recreate your

0:03:550:04:00

favourite sport and send it to us?

The hashtag is #bbcolympics and we

0:04:000:04:06

will try to show as many as we can

later. Now it is time for some

0:04:060:04:10

action and time for some curling. We

kick off with Eve

0:04:100:04:13

action and time for some curling. We

kick off with Eve Muirhead and her

0:04:130:04:15

ring, who have won two of the three

of their matches in the round-robin

0:04:150:04:19

stage. They are currently third

behind Japan and Sweden who both

0:04:190:04:22

have 100% records. Today, they face

Denmark and let's see how they get

0:04:220:04:32

on with our commentators Jackie

Lockhart and Steve Cram.

0:04:320:04:37

COMMENTATOR: Thank you, we are just

about underway, Great Britain taking

0:04:370:04:40

on this Danish team who are straight

off an incredible victory over

0:04:400:04:44

Canada yesterday. That meant Canada,

talking about the table,

0:04:440:04:51

unbelievably, Canada have not won a

match after three, Great Britain

0:04:510:04:53

with two wins and one defeat and

they would love to win a couple

0:04:530:04:57

today and they have got two

sessions, playing Denmark this

0:04:570:05:00

morning and then they will be back

again this evening but as I say,

0:05:000:05:03

Denmark fresh from their win, the

only one of their three matches but

0:05:030:05:08

what a Win it was, still the talk of

the curling world, really. Jackie

0:05:080:05:12

Lockhart with me this morning, and I

know it is late into the evening,

0:05:120:05:18

into Saturday morning small hours

but hopefully you can stay with us

0:05:180:05:22

for what should be a cracking match.

Who would have said Denmark would

0:05:220:05:26

beat Canada?

That was a real

shocker. Having said that, I think

0:05:260:05:30

Canada gave the game away at the end

of the day. But Denmark were still

0:05:300:05:34

in the game and they were right

there until the very last end. I am

0:05:340:05:40

wondering if they are going to carry

the joy from last night into the

0:05:400:05:43

game this morning or whether they

are a bit more relaxed after they

0:05:430:05:46

beat what they would class as a

top-class team.

Just before you

0:05:460:05:52

joined us, just to underline that,

Mathilde Halse, the lead for

0:05:520:05:57

Denmark, said the first stone

straight through the house. -- sent

0:05:570:06:01

the first stone. We would except

after the excitement of yesterday

0:06:010:06:09

that they were a bit over exuberance

so Great Britain have the hammer in

0:06:090:06:12

this first end so the corner guard

was put in place and then a nice

0:06:120:06:17

draw, Lauren Gray starting well. The

Danish team is a mix of the DuPont

0:06:170:06:23

sisters, very experienced, and then

a couple of youngsters, Julie Hogh,

0:06:230:06:33

hopefully we are pronouncing her

name correctly, and Mathilde Halse,

0:06:330:06:37

the two of them just 18 years of

age. Still getting to know each

0:06:370:06:42

other, really, so very inexperienced

at the front end of the Danish team

0:06:420:06:48

and then Madeleine and Denise Dupont

have been around quite some time.

0:06:480:06:55

Madeleine is three years younger,

30, and Denise is 33. And Eve

0:06:550:07:00

Muirhead has played them many times.

Many, many times, as

0:07:000:07:11

Many, many times, as you say, the

Dupont sisters have been playing in

0:07:110:07:14

curling for but in a major champion

chips, finishing in the middle of

0:07:140:07:17

the pack usually, not being in the

final stages that often.

I still

0:07:170:07:22

have memories of Vancouver, when you

were playing in the team and it was

0:07:220:07:28

Denmark, the match against Denmark

which meant you made it into the

0:07:280:07:34

medals and was that the last match

in the round robin?

Yeah, and I

0:07:340:07:38

think it went right down to almost

the last stone as well but that is

0:07:380:07:42

going for you. You can never rest on

your laurels in any of these games.

0:07:420:07:50

The British men in action this

afternoon as well, they had a close

0:07:500:07:53

match and played really well against

Sweden for most of the match, Sweden

0:07:530:07:56

one of the gold medal favourites

along with Canada in the men's

0:07:560:08:00

competition. Great Britain's men

after four matches have one macro

0:08:000:08:06

two, and lost two but the two losses

were against Canada and Sweden so

0:08:060:08:10

they are in a witty good position

and the women would love to pick up

0:08:100:08:13

two victories today.

0:08:130:08:18

two victories today. That is a good

shot.

0:08:210:08:27

We saw Eve trying to play an

offensive game initially and put one

0:08:320:08:35

around behind it but Denmark played

a really nice double take out

0:08:350:08:40

earlier, there, and changed the

whole dynamics of this and so we are

0:08:400:08:43

now forced to play up the middle.

If

you are just coming in, maybe for

0:08:430:08:51

your Friday night out, a bit of

curling before you go to bed. You

0:08:510:08:54

can have a lie in in the morning,

stick with it, watch the whole

0:08:540:08:57

thing. A big Saturday coming up for

Team GB. And the curling, well, we

0:08:570:09:08

have been here, we have the mixed

doubles competition so we have had

0:09:080:09:12

nine days of curling already at the

Winter Olympics and another nine

0:09:120:09:15

days including this one, the final

of the women's competition will be

0:09:150:09:19

the last match next Sunday, next

Saturday night at home. Let's hope

0:09:190:09:24

this British team will be involved

in that. Eve Muirhead set after Ray

0:09:240:09:29

Meadow last time, it was wonderful

but they are off to the gold this

0:09:290:09:33

time. -- said after a medal. With

everything that is happening to the

0:09:330:09:40

Canadian team, Rachel Homan is under

a lot of pressure, three defeats

0:09:400:09:44

from three matches, Canada

absolutely capable of turning it

0:09:440:09:46

around and still qualifying and

still finishing in the top four but

0:09:460:09:50

goodness me, what pressure they are

under and incidentally, Great

0:09:500:09:53

Britain play Canada last so in the

round-robin competition, it could

0:09:530:09:57

well be within the hands of Eve

Muirhead and the team to put Canada

0:09:570:10:00

out of the competition, which would

be, well, not only a shock but would

0:10:000:10:07

improve Great Britain's chances as

well of winning the gold medal,

0:10:070:10:10

certainly being in the gold-medal

match.

The first plan of the week is

0:10:100:10:16

to make sure you get yourself in the

play-off position and then after

0:10:160:10:20

that, it is which position you

finish in, whether it is first,

0:10:200:10:24

second, third or fourth but the way

things are looking just now with

0:10:240:10:27

Canada, losing their first three

games and having to battle to get

0:10:270:10:30

back in the competition, they could

potentially finish in the bottom of

0:10:300:10:33

the top four. Then you are

wondering, do you want to finish in

0:10:330:10:38

the top or in second place? One

plays four and two plays three but

0:10:380:10:45

at the end of the day, as long as

you make the play-offs, everything

0:10:450:10:48

is in your hands.

There's two ways

of looking at that, if you have to

0:10:480:10:54

play Canada in either the semifinal

or the final, if you want to win the

0:10:540:10:57

gold medal, you have to beat Canada

anyway so if you don't beat them in

0:10:570:11:02

the semifinal, baby would not have

beaten them in the final. But the

0:11:020:11:04

way Rachel Homan is playing, she

might be playing a lot better later

0:11:040:11:09

in the week, who knows? But to get

to the final, you know you are

0:11:090:11:16

guaranteed a medal. So Anna Sloan,

not sure she has been at her best so

0:11:160:11:25

far. In fact, none of them have

probably been absolutely at their

0:11:250:11:29

best. We've had flashes of great

play. They have been solid.

That is

0:11:290:11:34

unfortunate, they really needed to

hit the Danish red macro without

0:11:340:11:39

catching the back one so we were

like two shots, to give us the

0:11:390:11:44

opportunity of a two, here.

As I

say, quite typical, not a bad shot

0:11:440:11:49

not coming off.

0:11:490:11:56

An opportunity for Denmark, they are

lying two, which would then force us

0:11:560:12:03

to play the end out, to take a run

and the object of the game, I guess,

0:12:030:12:07

is to get as many stones closer to

the centre, out counting the

0:12:070:12:13

opponent but if you have the hammer,

the last stone advantage, you

0:12:130:12:16

ideally want to be scoring two or

more.

What is interesting in this

0:12:160:12:20

team is that Madeleine Dupont is the

skip but the youngster is the vice,

0:12:200:12:24

not her sister. Maybe they are

realising within Danish curling that

0:12:240:12:30

the new regime is getting ready to

take overcome if you like. They had

0:12:300:12:35

their funding withdrawn, the only

qualified for the Olympics in

0:12:350:12:40

December, in the last couple of

places and they did well to come

0:12:400:12:43

through, there. There is no funding

at the moment for curling in

0:12:430:12:48

Denmark. Having said that, both the

men's and women's teams are here.

0:12:480:12:53

Orange Micro they both qualified

through the qualification event. --

0:12:530:12:57

they both qualified through the

qualification event. So they will be

0:12:570:13:01

keen to do really well in this

competition, try to get some funding

0:13:010:13:05

back for them.

0:13:050:13:08

Just to underline my point about not

quite playing at the top of their

0:13:140:13:19

game, you will see those percentages

coming up in terms of accuracy, and

0:13:190:13:26

we are kind of debating how much

that tells the whole story because

0:13:260:13:29

although Canada are bottom of the

table, they are third top in terms

0:13:290:13:34

of percentages as a team so it does

not tell you the whole story. Eve

0:13:340:13:37

Muirhead just tapping that one out,

sitting, trying to look for a little

0:13:370:13:43

mistake from Denmark, haps but it

does not tell you the whole story,

0:13:430:13:47

does it?

Not at all. I think the

Canadians, going back to them again,

0:13:470:13:53

probably it is Rachel Homan is not

finishing anything off so she must

0:13:530:13:56

be carrying the weight of the world

on her shoulders and the pressure

0:13:560:13:59

has got to her which is really

surprising for Canada. They play in

0:13:590:14:06

big events all the time in full

arenas and they can normally cope

0:14:060:14:09

with the pressure. It is generally

the small European teams that come

0:14:090:14:13

to these championships and struggle

with the media attention.

0:14:130:14:21

Sometimes it is nice, you can relax.

These guys have everything to gain

0:14:210:14:26

and nothing to lose. We can see some

of the best curling.

Britain could

0:14:260:14:32

do a little mistake here... From

Madeleine Dupont. They would have

0:14:320:14:41

liked to have got there two. She

does well.

Denmark have done what

0:14:410:14:49

they had to do. Make Eve Muirhead

draw for one. I'm not sure what she

0:14:490:14:56

will choose to do but she should try

and score one here.

That is OK. Get

0:14:560:15:04

something on the scoreboard. The

first end.

0:15:040:15:15

A combination of two things here. A

couple of nice shots from Denmark. A

0:15:150:15:20

double takeout early in the end,

that was important. Anna Sloan just

0:15:200:15:26

missing her shot, not working out in

the way that she wanted. The

0:15:260:15:30

opportunity not really arising for

Great Britain to take two. Eve

0:15:300:15:37

Muirhead will tap this Danish town

out and -- stone out and lie for

0:15:370:15:45

one. It is commentators curse! Not a

good start from Eve Muirhead. A

0:15:450:15:53

fairly straightforward shot. Should

have been... Now it means that

0:15:530:15:57

Denmark steel, picking up one

instead of Great Britain. They keep

0:15:570:16:01

the hammer going into the next end

but it

0:16:010:16:05

is a different start. You don't want

to be losing to Denmark. That has

0:16:080:16:12

made you think about staying up,

hasn't it?

We are on the outside

0:16:120:16:19

sheet again, we are on the sheet D,

closest to the audience and arena.

0:16:190:16:25

We heard the girls talking earlier

about two different sides. It is

0:16:250:16:32

normally swinging more on that side

of the sheet but you can set it

0:16:320:16:35

back. It is only the first end. If

you are going to lose a shot, lose

0:16:350:16:42

it in the first and build from

there.

We saw how a match can turn

0:16:420:16:48

around, the match against Sweden for

the men, they were shooting their

0:16:480:16:52

lights out earlier. The British men

were playing really well. Sweden

0:16:520:16:57

just about hanging on at the halfway

point. It all changed. The Swedish

0:16:570:17:07

skip proved, he said afterwards, he

could take advantage, Niklas Edin.

0:17:070:17:15

It was a really good match.

Really

positive from the boys. I was

0:17:150:17:20

impressed by their play. There was a

couple of errors, and it is amazing,

0:17:200:17:26

the difference it makes in a game.

As Niklas Edin got to the end of the

0:17:260:17:31

match, he wouldn't be giving up any

of the errors that Great Britain

0:17:310:17:34

made. I think you said himself that

he was a little lucky to win the

0:17:340:17:39

game. He did not think that he would

come with how he was performing at

0:17:390:17:43

the start of the game.

No, he didn't

quite break away. He had the chance

0:17:430:17:49

to but nonetheless, it was a really

good performance. My point was that

0:17:490:17:53

for Sweden, they didn't start well.

Not a good start from the British

0:17:530:18:00

women. But plenty of time here.

Playing that nice draw in from

0:18:000:18:07

Mathilde Halse.

If you are a plate

tonight and wondering why she isn't

0:18:070:18:14

hitting the shot well, Great Britain

have the hammer. It is all about

0:18:140:18:20

strategy and taking your time, not

racing to the centre of the house to

0:18:200:18:24

gain your points. Put up a corner

guard. Denmark cannot hit that now.

0:18:240:18:30

It is an area that we called the

free guard zone. You cannot hit the

0:18:300:18:35

stone until after four have been

played. They will use it and bring

0:18:350:18:39

one in behind, setting up a few

stones that are protected so they

0:18:390:18:43

can score more than one. Of course,

the opposition are always trying to

0:18:430:18:48

out accounts you! -- allt count you.

That is the coach, Glenn Howard, for

0:18:480:18:57

the women's team.

0:18:570:19:03

the women's team. So many of the

Canadians are acting as coaches for

0:19:030:19:06

various teams around the world. He

hit for Lauren Gray. Using the

0:19:060:19:14

guard.

0:19:140:19:19

guard. This is looking pretty good.

Lauren has performed strongly in all

0:19:200:19:31

of the game she has played so far.

She has set the team up well. A

0:19:310:19:37

lovely shot, utilising the corner

guard she put up in the first place,

0:19:370:19:41

a nice and controlled hit and roll.

Lauren was the ultimate, four years

0:19:410:19:50

ago in Sochi. She was watching as

the four of them won their medal.

0:19:500:19:55

Now promoted into the league

position. She has been doing really

0:19:550:19:59

well. It's always useful to be in

and around everything that happens

0:19:590:20:06

at the Winter Olympics. It is so

different to even the most

0:20:060:20:10

experienced curlers. They say that

at World Championships, European

0:20:100:20:16

Championships, it isn't quite the

same as the Olympics.

0:20:160:20:24

same as the Olympics. The third

Olympics for Eve Muirhead. Vicki

0:20:240:20:28

Adams, playing second...

0:20:280:20:34

Adams, playing second... Try and put

that guard back in place...

0:20:380:20:45

that guard back in place... It is

coming all the way in. Not putting

0:20:450:20:50

the guard in, we sit on top of that

yellow stone. Tapping back.

0:20:500:20:59

yellow stone. Tapping back. We said

all week, really, these outside

0:21:010:21:07

sheets, it takes a few stones, a

couple of ends to start to read

0:21:070:21:11

them.

0:21:110:21:16

them. So, Julie Hogh playing second

for Denmark. A little thin on the

0:21:200:21:33

outside. The first stone managing to

just about slide by there. Catching

0:21:330:21:38

the other British stones. Six or

seven inches but it is still in

0:21:380:21:44

there. Vicki said that she was 20

feet heavy. She was trying to put

0:21:440:21:52

that in place.

You look to see what

she has written on her hands...

0:21:520:22:07

she has written on her hands... One

and six. Kelly Schafer, the fifth

0:22:070:22:10

for the team here, she comes in at

night and practices to see that they

0:22:100:22:16

all match together. She will tell

the girls what stones they will

0:22:160:22:18

play. The girls will play the same

stones at every end. That must be in

0:22:180:22:25

case they forget which numbers they

play so they write them on their

0:22:250:22:30

hands! It isn't like cheating at

school...

Did you ever do that?

No,

0:22:300:22:39

no!

CHUCKLES

I was a good girl at school! Not!

I

0:22:390:22:46

think not! Just about covered that,

one side of it. They may be able to

0:22:460:22:54

use the stone sitting out there.

Denmark had to be careful, if they

0:22:540:22:59

want clear that gap, it could come

onto the red on the left-hand side

0:22:590:23:04

and roll back into the house.

Denise

Dupont, the older of the two

0:23:040:23:12

sisters... She plays mixed doubles

with her boyfriend.

0:23:120:23:21

The guard sticks against the Danish

stone.

That could be significant,

0:23:280:23:35

the kind of position that you can

come in at later on. It can get

0:23:350:23:41

crowded, but it is an end that Great

Britain will try and build on, and

0:23:410:23:44

take the two.

0:23:440:23:53

take the two. They will just try and

hit the Danish stone... And said

0:23:530:23:59

there. Great Britain will count for

two. That is good, from an.

She

0:23:590:24:05

desperately wanted to keep it on

that side of the house. Did not want

0:24:050:24:11

to over car and have the stone

rolled closer. It makes it easier

0:24:110:24:15

for Denmark to remove both of them

and at the moment they are very

0:24:150:24:18

flat. Cannot do that.

0:24:180:24:24

flat. Cannot do that. However, she

can catch the side of it and roll

0:24:250:24:29

across herself... She doesn't want

to roll out, though.

She has a

0:24:290:24:35

chance. She played it well.

Very

well.

0:24:350:24:42

well.

A smile, she knows she played

a very good shot...

That was a

0:24:450:24:51

little light, and...

She is going to

play a controlled...

0:24:510:25:03

play a controlled...

We are back

out, then?

A controlled weight to

0:25:040:25:08

tap it onto the yellow and put it

onto the road. -- onto the red. So

0:25:080:25:16

she is playing and in

0:25:160:25:24

she is playing and in turn tap back.

And it should move to the right. It

0:25:240:25:26

doesn't look like it

0:25:260:25:32

doesn't look like it has the weight.

She may get a kiss off her own

0:25:330:25:35

yellow... Well swept by the girls.

It could be in the shop position. --

0:25:350:25:51

shot position.

The angle of the two

yellows do not make it easy to get

0:25:510:26:00

the red out. Unless she comes from

the right-hand side.

0:26:000:26:08

the right-hand side. The chance to

remove both of these...

0:26:080:26:15

remove both of these...

Not quite

working out yet for Great Britain.

0:26:150:26:18

Still the early stages of this. It's

an important match, two today.

0:26:180:26:29

They have played Korea this evening.

Yes, Korea later on.

0:26:370:26:54

Denmark really will be hoping to

take two of the stones. She has done

0:26:550:27:02

as well. Well swept by the team.

It

hangs on at the back... Turning back

0:27:020:27:09

in there.

That might be significant.

0:27:090:27:23

There is still a chance, here.

She

is not going to try taking both of

0:27:300:27:43

them. There may have been the

opportunity if she played in a

0:27:430:27:47

controlled way and rolled to the

right-hand side of the sheet but she

0:27:470:27:50

will play a safer shot and catch it

on the nose. Asking Denmark the

0:27:500:27:56

question, are you going to manage to

do the same as me?

0:27:560:28:04

Nicely done. Well judged, that will

make her feel a little better. Eve

0:28:120:28:20

Muirhead will cause that staying,

sat at the back, sadly it is not

0:28:200:28:26

lying second shot.

0:28:260:28:32

lying second shot. Of course.

It is

slightly further to the left as we

0:28:340:28:46

see it. If Madeleine Dupont hits it

on the nose there could be the

0:28:460:28:50

better opportunity for Eve to take

the two. And stay in the house. They

0:28:500:28:56

are closer together. Further apart

but the angle is better for a

0:28:560:29:00

double. This one is looking high...

She has jammed and left it.

Second

0:29:000:29:12

as well, isn't it?

0:29:120:29:18

That is shot? Really? I'm beginning

to think, well, there is a certainly

0:29:220:29:29

-- certainly a chance for

double-take. It is very close to see

0:29:290:29:34

whether or not.

I think if you are

unsure, you have to go for the back

0:29:340:29:38

one.

That is my point, if you can

take this back red out...

0:29:380:29:52

She does not like hitting the front

one?

No. So all the goals having a

0:29:530:30:00

look at it.

Can she get to that

stone, though? -- all the girls.

I

0:30:000:30:07

think she's not confident of the ice

but she could give it a nice hack

0:30:070:30:12

weight but the girls are scared that

if they don't read the weight

0:30:120:30:16

properly and it comes in, it pushes

them in for shot but I think if you

0:30:160:30:19

play a firm weight.

They are not

sure who is lying shot. We think it

0:30:190:30:25

is Denmark, the stone on the left.

Great Britain definitely lying at

0:30:250:30:29

worst second.

Eve still thinks it is

us and it could well be so I think

0:30:290:30:36

she will do a draw and then we will

have a measure to see if we have

0:30:360:30:40

two.

I have just turned my head

around, and she might be right?

It

0:30:400:30:45

is often amazing what a tilt can do,

check it from a different angle!

She

0:30:450:30:49

is convinced... They have got a

chance of two so she is guaranteeing

0:30:490:30:57

the one, here, and then hoping in

the measure we pick up two. Does not

0:30:570:31:01

want to take any risks or give one

away. Just drawing in. Going into

0:31:010:31:08

the four foot. She's played a nice

draw as well. So here we go, Great

0:31:080:31:13

Britain definitely have won and we

will see a measure to see if they

0:31:130:31:16

have two. Anna Sloan already asking

the judge to come out. It is close,

0:31:160:31:21

isn't it?

0:31:210:31:26

isn't it?

Nice weight, Eve.

There

won't be much in this. You have seen

0:31:280:31:31

some measures where you are

definitely favouring stone. I liked

0:31:310:31:36

the little foot movement from the

judge, then.

I missed that.

Some in

0:31:360:31:41

and out movement of the feet.

Brushing her feet.

Yes, she will be

0:31:410:31:46

cleaning her feet before she comes

onto the ice. Hopefully we will get

0:31:460:31:53

a nice close-up.

It would help if we

can see the dial on the top.

It

0:31:530:31:58

moves so it should move the dial as

it comes passed the stone so they

0:31:580:32:02

will take a reading from the top of

the dial. You can see that. The

0:32:020:32:09

clock and moving, there. Oh, it is

yellow.

I think she will have to do

0:32:090:32:16

that again. Yes, she's going back

again. That was very close. Between

0:32:160:32:24

the two.

We have had measures where

it is very difficult and they can't

0:32:240:32:28

make a decision and they have to do

trike -- they have to try and catch

0:32:280:32:34

more or less of it to see. Come on,

show off the dial.

Yes, that is

0:32:340:32:41

showing what, that does not help

because we did not see the reading

0:32:410:32:45

from a British perspective. Yeah,

well, it is two, for Great Britain.

0:32:450:32:54

It was very, very close, probably

millimetres in it. She has got a

0:32:540:32:59

good eye, that Eve Muirhead! The

measure coming out in Great

0:32:590:33:04

Britain's Faber, so well judged and

they pick up two in the second end

0:33:040:33:08

and they will now lead 2-1. -- Great

Britain's favour. Smart decision,

0:33:080:33:14

smart move, backed herself.

Listening to what they are saying,

0:33:140:33:25

there, I am sure they are feeling a

lot happier, though, two ends,

0:33:250:33:30

leading 2-1.

0:33:300:33:36

I mean, we are saying Eve judged

that well but you can't from that

0:33:370:33:41

point, none us could see exactly

what the outcome of the measure

0:33:410:33:46

could be. -- none of us. We knew it

would be close but I reckon there

0:33:460:33:50

was only two or three millimetres in

it.

0:33:500:33:58

So Korea not playing this morning,

three other matches. Switzerland are

0:33:580:34:04

playing Sweden. Olympic Athletes

from Russia playing the USA and

0:34:040:34:11

Japan paint China, Japan leading

2-1. Olympic Athletes from Russia

0:34:110:34:18

winning 2-1 and Sweden are leading

Switzerland after one end.

0:34:180:34:28

So Lauren Gray set us off in the

third end, the hammer now with

0:34:340:34:38

Denmark.

0:34:380:34:43

Denmark. Lauren of course the sister

of Logan, who has been in the

0:34:440:34:50

commentary box with Jackie and I.

Go, go!

Try to put the guard right

0:34:500:35:00

in the front top of the house, a

foot or so short, well played, right

0:35:000:35:04

on the centre line. They are just

finding how much it is curling on

0:35:040:35:11

this

0:35:110:35:16

this sheet A, played some nice shots

in the previous end. This is

0:35:170:35:20

Mathilde Halse, the lead for

Denmark, 18, the vice skip, don't be

0:35:200:35:26

surprised in four years' time if she

is skipping this Danish team.

0:35:260:35:32

I suppose if you have been playing

lead, though, just trying to... Does

0:35:370:35:45

anyone skip as a lead? She would

change position, probably, but we

0:35:450:35:51

know that Cruise plays second for

Switzerland.

Sometimes in teams, a

0:35:510:35:58

skip might play, if they are not

good at sweeping or they feel they

0:35:580:36:00

don't want to be doing that and they

are a good tactician, they will play

0:36:000:36:04

the first two stones. Sweden I

think, secrets and, when she played

0:36:040:36:10

in the Swedish team, she played lead

stone and they took the head. In

0:36:100:36:16

Great Britain Scotland, where most

of these girls come from, generally

0:36:160:36:20

speaking, we don't play that kind of

format but some of the Europeans do.

0:36:200:36:28

Played a nice shot, Mathilde Halse,

and Lauren Gray has got to get past

0:36:280:36:31

the guard. It is going to be tight.

Just catches it.

0:36:310:36:42

Sorry.

Oh, it's OK.

Bay are

apologising, maybe they should have

0:36:420:36:49

started sweeping it a tad earlier,

there. -- they are apologising.

0:36:490:36:59

So, Mathilde Halse, after a very

nice first shot. Trying to come

0:37:040:37:09

around again. This looks tight,

doesn't it?

0:37:090:37:23

OK, that is only a touch more, but

much more than...

Give me a

0:37:380:37:43

fraction, Eve!

Vicki Adams and the

rest of the team, in the break

0:37:430:37:54

between ends, were talking about

trying to get the steal. The way the

0:37:540:38:00

end developer, you never know how it

is going to develop, you need to

0:38:000:38:03

wait until a few stones in and then

see how it is panning out.

0:38:030:38:11

see how it is panning out.

Five,

six.

They have a nice set up at the

0:38:110:38:18

front, covering the four foot and

that is what you want to do when you

0:38:180:38:21

don't have the hammer.

Good.

Good.

That is a great attempt. Shot. They

0:38:210:38:32

need to start to clear away some of

the traffic out front.

0:38:320:38:42

In the match against Canada, we were

sort of half watching it, they were

0:38:440:38:48

almost, I'm not sure it was by

design but kept asking Rachel Homan

0:38:480:38:53

two draw at the end. There was a

couple where they had even left it

0:38:530:38:57

all the way down one side and she

just wasn't able to. Good try.

0:38:570:39:03

Landed up with two stones sitting

there. So, yeah. I'm not sure if it

0:39:030:39:10

was by design, but...

A good skip

will try to force the opposition to

0:39:100:39:13

play the weaker shots, not that they

always have weaker shots but

0:39:130:39:19

generally somebody will be stronger

on one side or the other or they

0:39:190:39:22

prefer to play hitting rather than

draw. So we are in a nice position

0:39:220:39:29

at the moment, here. Just need to

try to get a high guard on, kind of

0:39:290:39:34

half covered, so they don't, they

can't just run it back into the

0:39:340:39:40

pack.

Seven.

Write in here.

Seven,

eight.

This is looking quite high at

0:39:400:39:48

the moment.

Seven, seven, eight.

Seven is the middle.

The turquoise

0:39:480:39:55

part of the house is four, the white

is five, the red is six and then the

0:39:550:40:00

centre is seven so the girls have

got them all called in zones so they

0:40:000:40:04

can shout and indicate to leave

where they think the stone will

0:40:040:40:06

finish.

0:40:060:40:11

finish. Yes, that is just about...

It has hit the red stone but you can

0:40:110:40:19

see by her face, there, it has left

a little nest as well for Denmark to

0:40:190:40:23

come into.

0:40:230:40:30

So playing second, Julie Hogh.

0:40:300:40:40

They really are starting to turn a

little bit now, as well. Right at

0:40:450:40:50

the end Budgie has done reasonably

well. That bridges stone just

0:40:500:40:53

sitting against the back stone. --

that British stone. Starting to get

0:40:530:41:01

crowded and that will make it more

difficult for Denmark.

You want to

0:41:010:41:05

be an inch in!

0:41:050:41:13

be an inch in!

So looking to hit the

red stone and just get a little flop

0:41:130:41:15

across.

I am thinking just a hair

more, Eve.

That can make all the

0:41:150:41:26

difference, you know, a hair more.

I

know, we've seen it all week. It

0:41:260:41:32

depends whose hair it is, I guess.

It has got a chance here.

Go, go.

0:41:320:41:46

Well, two Danish stones go, Great

Britain lying with four in there and

0:41:460:41:50

one or two tucked in behind the

front two stones. This starting to

0:41:500:41:54

develop quite nicely for Great

Britain. -- this end is starting.

0:41:540:41:59

Keeping it busy in there.

0:41:590:42:08

Too many stone paths -- stones for

Denmark's liking. She's got a good

0:42:100:42:17

result, there but Britain, still,

with stones to work with but what

0:42:170:42:23

she has done is cleared a route

through, and now it is much easier

0:42:230:42:25

for Denmark.

Normal.

Lying quite

nicely but she got a good result.

0:42:250:42:40

So they are just looking to take

that red stone out. Come across and

0:42:410:42:47

catch their own yellow and separate

them again.

Clean.

She won't want to

0:42:470:42:55

leave a nest in the corner because

that is to Denmark's advantage.

0:42:550:43:01

Yeah, that's good.

A couple of good

shots from Anna Sloan. Watching

0:43:010:43:07

intently, there. You knew she was

kind of happy. She is capable of

0:43:070:43:13

letting the rest of the team know,

isn't she? We heard her at the other

0:43:130:43:17

end of the ice, very easily, and

quietly she was admiring that shot,

0:43:170:43:22

there.

An opportunity now for

Denmark if they are going to be

0:43:220:43:28

offensive and play quite an

aggressive game, to draw up to one

0:43:280:43:31

of the corners, and freeze it but

there are four stones of Great

0:43:310:43:36

Britain in the house. It just

depends whether they are running a

0:43:360:43:39

bit scared. They have the option of

taking two of them out but then they

0:43:390:43:43

have no cover. The advantage is

sitting with Great Britain at the

0:43:430:43:48

moment. Whether these girls can play

the pressure shot and put a shot

0:43:480:43:55

just in the front, there, where

Madelyn is indicating. -- Madeleine.

0:43:550:44:07

How is Denise playing generally?

100% at the moment.

100% on

0:44:070:44:14

takeouts.

That is all she has had.

Today?

Just today.

I was thinking

0:44:140:44:21

generally.

You are putting me under

pressure now!

The old computer.

The

0:44:210:44:28

old computer system, here.

0:44:280:44:36

Hmm... She is 72% so far on her

take-outs. For the competition. So,

0:44:420:44:54

decision made.

0:44:540:45:05

It looks like they will try for a

hit and roll across with that ice.

0:45:070:45:18

She has given this plenty, to try

and move two... This is on the nose,

0:45:220:45:26

I think. And keeps going, keeps

going... Swept across by Eve

0:45:260:45:34

Muirhead, she is allowed to sweep

the opposition stone as long as it

0:45:340:45:38

is across the T-line.

0:45:380:45:47

is across the T-line. Was she

playing that heavy?

She wanted to

0:45:470:45:49

catch much less of that. She must

have turned it in.

Britain are lying

0:45:490:46:03

three here.

0:46:030:46:08

There is a chance, I think Eve would

like to protect the stone sat at the

0:46:220:46:28

back there. At the back of the red.

So she will try and get one out. In

0:46:280:46:38

front...

This looks as though it is

coming in, right on the T-line.

0:46:380:46:51

--

0:46:590:47:05

--. I was looking at whether or not

it was possible in terms of the

0:47:050:47:12

angles, but Eve was a little heavy

there. If she was level, there was a

0:47:120:47:19

great opportunity for Denmark there.

I think you will jam if you are

0:47:190:47:25

right on top of the angle that they

are sat at now. There is an

0:47:250:47:30

opportunity, hitting that.

Watching

those hand signals, the signal

0:47:300:47:34

across her shoulder from Matilda

house gives you an indication of the

0:47:340:47:46

kind of weight they will apply here

-- Mathilde Halse. It will be

0:47:460:47:50

plenty.

0:47:500:47:57

plenty. The skip for Denmark,

Madeleine Dupont, trying to remove

0:47:580:48:02

perhaps three British stones here.

Get the advantage back. Always

0:48:020:48:05

likely to do that.

She caught way

too much of the stone. Britain with

0:48:050:48:14

the ideal position to be in, to

force Denmark to take one.

When you

0:48:140:48:23

have stones in the house, if you get

a big error, you never know.

0:48:230:48:36

a big error, you never know. You saw

where she was trying to place the

0:48:360:48:38

stone. You can learn a little from

the last one, hopefully...

0:48:380:48:48

the last one, hopefully... Take four

for -- take four foot of the last

0:48:520:49:01

1:..! It is those little

adjustments. Take one stone and that

0:49:010:49:06

time, you get it right.

You

practised these shots every day. It

0:49:060:49:13

is about muscle memory...

There is

still plenty on here...

Too much

0:49:130:49:23

porridge for breakfast. Her leg

drive is a little strong this

0:49:230:49:25

morning. That is OK. That is the

object of the game. To force one,

0:49:250:49:34

that is what they have set up their

position to be. So, it could be one

0:49:340:49:42

for Denmark here. Or it could be a

hit and roll out.

0:49:420:49:49

hit and roll out.

Mathilde Halse,

holding the brush and the head for

0:49:530:49:57

her skip. She is acting as the vice

skip for Madeleine Dupont. She never

0:49:570:50:02

quite takes off her jacket. Just

unzipped.

It seems a little

0:50:020:50:10

untidy...

Sleeves rolled up, she

means business!

That would annoy me!

0:50:100:50:18

Lets see how it goes for the Danish

skip. Moving the British stones,

0:50:180:50:25

picking up one. That looks pretty

good, actually... It sits there.

0:50:250:50:36

That is a decent result for Great

Britain. Forcing one in the third

0:50:360:50:40

end. Denmark tying it up. 2-2 after

three. Some interesting headgear at

0:50:400:50:52

the Winter Olympics, as ever. It

isn't the biggest crowd in this

0:50:520:50:57

morning, Korea not playing in this

particular session. Some great

0:50:570:51:03

crowds, all the way through the

mixed doubles. Pretty fell in most

0:51:030:51:08

of the sessions for curling,

especially when Korea are playing.

0:51:080:51:12

Japan leading 3-2 over China, they

were three up. China picked up two

0:51:120:51:18

in the third end and given that

Japan are doing very well indeed,

0:51:180:51:25

continuing good form. They are are

going into a 2-1 lead, against the

0:51:250:51:30

USA, plenty of American fans

watching that one. Switzerland also

0:51:300:51:35

leading 2-1.

0:51:350:51:41

leading 2-1. Britain have full sets

one. Want to try and pick up two

0:51:450:51:48

again.

0:51:480:51:56

again. That will be very nice, thank

you....

0:51:570:52:02

you.... The statistics of Mathilde

Halse have been partly affected by

0:52:030:52:09

the stone in the first match which

she sent sailing through the house.

0:52:090:52:14

The first couple then started

reasonably well for her team.

0:52:140:52:20

Lauren Gray has quietly been going

about her business.

0:52:380:52:48

about her business. Another corner

guard being put on.

0:52:510:52:57

guard being put on. It is a bit

chilly out there today. It bit

0:53:020:53:05

colder. We have had a couple of

slightly warmer days.

Back outside,

0:53:050:53:09

it is much colder. That can make a

difference to the ice conditions. I

0:53:090:53:16

don't know if it has today. We have

very experienced ice technicians

0:53:160:53:23

here, two comedian and one from

Scotland. He had two weeks before

0:53:230:53:28

the Olympics began. Putting the ice

pad down, and making sure the

0:53:280:53:32

conditions were correct.

0:53:320:53:37

conditions were correct.

And how

thick is the ice?

Can you hear the

0:53:370:53:44

siren my voice? I've got no idea! A

couple of inches thick -- the

0:53:440:53:50

society in my voice. Perhaps an

inch? They do what they call a

0:53:500:53:59

flood, so a lot of water. As the

week progresses, they constant

0:53:590:54:04

pebble it, which is a quick dash of

water. Prepped before every game. As

0:54:040:54:11

the week goes on it will get more,

probably about an inch.

Just

0:54:110:54:20

watching

0:54:200:54:25

watching that one, it did not turn

at all. It had too much on it. It

0:54:250:54:29

does not take curl. Th what she

wanted to do was to catch the red.

0:54:290:54:36

Roll it across in behind her own.

You are between the devil and the

0:54:360:54:42

deep blue sea but it isn't a

disaster.

0:54:420:54:48

disaster. Vicki Adams coming after

her, hopefully she can

0:54:480:54:55

her, hopefully she can make up.

These two youngsters from Denmark,

0:54:550:55:08

it's an incredible experience for

them. Both are only 18.

0:55:080:55:16

them. Both are only 18. Julie there,

catching the guard there. Eve

0:55:160:55:23

Muirhead, wanting to try and move

these two, if she can, to clear

0:55:230:55:29

things out front.

They have the

hammer, the object is to keep that

0:55:290:55:33

four foot open. If she can remove

the two sculls, she will leave

0:55:330:55:40

herself two corners, something to

play with and create a two.

0:55:400:55:47

play with and create a two.

A

partial success there.

0:55:480:55:54

partial success there. Catching a

little thin.

0:55:570:56:02

little thin.

Denmark could have

chosen to take the corner guard off,

0:56:030:56:09

but they haven't.

0:56:090:56:15

but they haven't. They could have

taken the corner of there but they

0:56:150:56:18

haven't. They've chosen to put on a

centre.

0:56:180:56:25

Nicely done! CHUCKLES

0:56:340:56:42

I think whatever happens to Denmark

in this competition, he said that

0:56:440:56:49

more often in recent times, that mix

of experience and youth, if they

0:56:490:56:54

finish mid-table, they will go away

from these Olympic Games beating

0:56:540:57:00

Canada.

That's always a good one to

get. A lovely shot, there.

Vicki

0:57:000:57:10

Adams today, shooting and 90%s.

0:57:100:57:21

Adams today, shooting and 90%s.

We

have left a centre guard there,

0:57:210:57:25

given something for Denmark to come

around. It doesn't matter if it is

0:57:250:57:28

their stone or our stone. We will

use it as protection. It is always

0:57:280:57:33

hours, driving onto the red stone.

0:57:330:57:43

Good shots being played this end by

both teams.

0:57:470:57:59

Anna Sloan's turn, to remove the

front guard.

0:58:010:58:10

front guard. Primary concern for Eve

Muirhead, wanting to build a chance

0:58:120:58:16

to get two here. Tying it up at 2-2.

A chance...

A lovely shot!

They've

0:58:160:58:26

taken it away, nicely. Anna Sloan...

It finishes just above the T-line

0:58:260:58:36

there. The horizontal line just

above the house. That means if

0:58:360:58:42

Denmark coming, they will have two

pump it back a little.

That's what

0:58:420:58:47

they've got to do here.

0:58:470:58:53

they've got to do here. -- if

Denmark come in. Just taking a

0:58:530:58:56

little more ice. These two sisters

have played together for so long.

0:58:560:59:02

Their brother plays as well.

Yes, he

does.

0:59:020:59:11

does. Quite often, you will find

they are curling families. Much like

0:59:110:59:20

Eve and her two brothers this week

as well. Just sliding back...

Just

0:59:200:59:27

catching it a little on the way

through. That one not as accurate as

0:59:270:59:32

she would have liked.

Not an easy,

easy shot. She has been playing

0:59:320:59:38

mainly takeouts this morning. The

second draw.

0:59:380:59:47

second draw. For Madeleine Dupont.

0:59:470:59:54

The girls have got a couple of

options and I think anywhere in the

0:59:540:59:59

top eight is good to use as a

protector.

I think we will need

0:59:591:00:03

that.

It will be close.

1:00:031:00:13

I think I am there.

They have to be

careful, not go to the other side of

1:00:221:00:27

the sheet. A different type of

running. This said.

Line only.

1:00:271:00:34

Seven, eight.

The girls are calling

seven which means it is going to

1:00:341:00:39

come into the T-line.

Sit on there.

It is all about the angles.

That was

1:00:391:00:50

heavy. It really was.

Its load up

nicely in the end and took the curl,

1:00:501:00:58

and then just tapped it slightly.

Still got that Danish stone...

1:00:581:01:08

Acting as a bit of a backstop.

Yes,

she has finished nicely, let it

1:01:081:01:14

finish and come on to the top of the

yellow, there. It was all about the

1:01:141:01:19

angles. They did not want to sit too

far to the right-hand side of it

1:01:191:01:23

because you would have an easy hit.

-- you would have left. They're

1:01:231:01:29

being forced to come down with a

draw on the other side. -- Denmark

1:01:291:01:33

being. It is difficult because both

of the British stones are sitting T

1:01:331:01:39

high. Not easy to come and rest on

them.

1:01:391:01:47

So an opportunity for Great Britain,

Madeleine Dupont herself, her whole

1:01:521:01:58

tournament, not shooting

particularly well but she has

1:01:581:02:01

managed, certainly in the game

against Canada, Sam Powell --

1:02:011:02:07

somehow they got a victory after two

straightforward defeats, and when I

1:02:071:02:11

is a straightforward, they were

never really in the previous two

1:02:111:02:14

matches. -- when I say

straightforward.

1:02:141:02:22

Wherever she places this, she does

not want it too far back. Oh,

1:02:311:02:35

actually, that is a very nice stone.

We've got to do similar to what you

1:02:351:02:45

did.

Smiles all around for Denmark.

Try to move that do here. Similar to

1:02:451:02:54

what Anna did.

Not too bothered

about wanting to be shot rock at the

1:02:541:03:00

moment, she just wanted to make sure

she was in the house and making it

1:03:001:03:04

difficult for Eve to get a steel

microgram here. All more than two,

1:03:041:03:09

sorry.

I think the question, can she

make the double? It would jam

1:03:091:03:19

against the background, I think.

She's made life a bit more difficult

1:03:191:03:22

for Eve Muirhead.

Because we are

lying shot just now so she gets to

1:03:221:03:29

make a move.

She needs to play it.

I

didn't think of that until I saw you

1:03:291:03:34

saying it.

Let's just take it, just

the straight hand.

Like this?

The

1:03:341:03:44

double is always going onto the

back, isn't it?

They are taking the

1:03:441:03:48

top yellow off to give themselves a

chance to do something with Eve's

1:03:481:03:52

last stone.

It is always spitting it

anyway.

I think depending on how she

1:03:521:04:01

gets it, it could go across the top,

sorry, I'm talking about Denise

1:04:011:04:04

playing the next stone, she would go

for the yellows.

We are good.

Nice

1:04:041:04:16

release.

Good.

Eve Muirhead trying

to make sure that she has got a

1:04:161:04:25

clear run in.

Good.

Now, what do

Denmark do? Great Britain are lying

1:04:251:04:36

shot, but the two look tempting for

Dupont. Will it jam against the back

1:04:361:04:43

red? She only has one stone coming

year.

It really depends whether the

1:04:431:04:49

throwing stone finishes as well.

One

stone, here. What she is thinking is

1:04:491:04:57

if she comes in there and catches

the top yellow when it is inside, as

1:04:571:05:01

it were, half on that stone and half

of the red stone, it will then catch

1:05:011:05:06

the second yellow stone much more

thinly and we will be able to

1:05:061:05:10

squeeze it out.

Yes, squeeze it

sideways between the red stone 's

1:05:101:05:14

rather than back onto it. -- red

stones.

Might be changing her mind

1:05:141:05:21

again. Trying to work out the

angles. This could be a big shock to

1:05:211:05:29

them. Eve would still be in a

position to draw in for won. As you

1:05:291:05:36

say, it depends whether they shoot

the ends up.

She has to look at

1:05:361:05:41

where her shooter is going. This is

a big shot, here.

1:05:411:05:54

Go, go.

Oh, it has just sat in

there, Great Britain with a chance

1:05:571:06:08

of two, here. She changed her mind

at the last minute and went for the

1:06:081:06:11

double takeout on the yellow. At

least I think she changed her mind

1:06:111:06:15

or maybe that is the way it ended

up.

I think that is where she wanted

1:06:151:06:19

to go but she got too much of the

first yellow. She was opposed to

1:06:191:06:24

just catch the edge.

It was a good

attempt but good news for Great

1:06:241:06:29

Britain because with that yellow

stone that is just biting on the

1:06:291:06:32

four foot on the left, that is lying

second and Eve can move the Danish

1:06:321:06:36

stone and sit right there and pick

up two in the fourth end, exactly

1:06:361:06:42

what she wanted. Having said that,

we said that earlier and she did not

1:06:421:06:47

deliver the stone she wanted in the

very first end, remember, when she

1:06:471:06:51

gave away the steal.

Clean, clean!

Off, off, now.

Just needs to turn a

1:06:511:07:04

little bit?

Are we going to roll

comedy?

That is the second time at

1:07:041:07:13

Amadu Eve Muirhead, it is one when

it should have been two, a

1:07:131:07:16

straightforward shot, she is annoyed

with herself, slapping the eyes with

1:07:161:07:20

a brush, Great Britain lead but it

could have been so much better.

1:07:201:07:23

After four ends, Great Britain 3-2

Denmark. Hopefully you will stay

1:07:231:07:30

with the curling. This is going to

be a tense match but overall the red

1:07:301:07:34

button, I can tell you that

qualification continues in the

1:07:341:07:39

women's ski slope style, with Katie

Summerhays and Izzy Atkin going

1:07:391:07:41

there. Conditions a lot colder today

outside.

1:07:411:07:54

Frustration. The sun is shining.

There have not been too many days

1:07:561:08:02

when the sun has not been shining,

here, you look out the window in the

1:08:021:08:06

morning and you think it is a

beautiful day. We actually look out

1:08:061:08:09

onto a beach. We on the coast, here.

You could be forgiven for thinking

1:08:091:08:14

you are in a nice summer resort,

until you step outside!

Yes, if you

1:08:141:08:19

look at some of the pictures, it is

lovely and sunny but actually it is

1:08:191:08:23

bitterly cold out there.

1:08:231:08:28

Well, they have to let that not get

to them, particularly Eve Muirhead,

1:08:291:08:35

that was being set up nicely and

Eve, an two occasions now, as missed

1:08:351:08:39

fairly straightforward shots. They

are leading and again, you should

1:08:391:08:45

keep an eye on the scoreboard,

before you get too depressed about

1:08:451:08:49

things but it is frustrating if

nothing else.

1:08:491:08:55

Go, go.

Finish hard, keep going.

We

are saying that do, sells down.

She

1:08:561:09:03

is going off to visit the little

ladies room.

Years, Anna Sloan at

1:09:031:09:08

the head.

It is unfortunate because

these are the bread and butter shots

1:09:081:09:12

that you practice, day in and day

out, finishing the end of, so she

1:09:121:09:16

will be disappointed but it is early

doors at it is just a small

1:09:161:09:20

correction she has to do make for

the conditions for throwing on the

1:09:201:09:23

ice conditions.

Lauren Gray coming

up a tad short as well, quickly

1:09:231:09:31

bringing you up-to-date elsewhere,

Switzerland leading Sweden 4-2,

1:09:311:09:34

Sweden have had a good start to the

competition but down in that one.

1:09:341:09:38

And the USA have picked up two and

they are now leading against OAR,

1:09:381:09:45

the Olympic Athletes from Russia,

3-2 and Japan have picked up one to

1:09:451:09:48

go for- two up over China, Japan

heading the rankings at the moment.

1:09:481:09:54

-- 4-2 up. Great Britain would

dearly love to win this one to have

1:09:541:09:57

three wins and one loss after four,

the top four teams after the round

1:09:571:10:02

robin go to the semifinals and you

really want to make sure you don't

1:10:021:10:05

have any more than three defeats,

six wins and three defeats is

1:10:051:10:10

probably good enough to put you in

the top four, maybe five wins and

1:10:101:10:13

four. But then you are likely to be

in a tie and a tie-break. --

1:10:131:10:28

tie-break matches are played to

break the tie.

We are looking to

1:10:281:10:34

come right around behind these two

corners.

You need to go.

Get around

1:10:341:10:42

the head before Denmark do.

Hard!

Trying to work this in, trying to

1:10:421:10:48

pull it into the centre as hard as

they can.

As you can see, most of

1:10:481:10:55

that stone...

If there is anybody at

home, sitting and relaxing after a

1:10:551:11:03

nice evening out and watching the

curling, feeling inspired to have a

1:11:031:11:07

shot at the curling, I think you can

go to the website, try curling, pop

1:11:071:11:16

in your postcode and book a match or

again, have a try. I'm sure to night

1:11:161:11:19

using Hugh Pym do anything if you

have been out and had a nice

1:11:191:11:23

evening. -- tonight, you think you

can do anything. And if you are

1:11:231:11:27

inspired to do anything else

sporting wise, go to BBC Get

1:11:271:11:32

Inspired.

1:11:321:11:37

Inspired. Every little bit of

exercise is good for us.

We are

1:11:371:11:42

getting plenty, here, aren't we?

Walking through the site. It is a

1:11:421:11:47

big venue, the ice of course, down

here at the coast, the ice events.

1:11:471:11:51

Yeah, we're just sitting here most

of the day but I am still managing

1:11:511:11:58

to reach my walking target every day

and getting a gold star. I've got to

1:11:581:12:02

keep it up when I go back home.

Exacted, well done. Struggling on

1:12:021:12:06

this one, that one was hanging out,

very much the same as Lauren Gray,

1:12:061:12:12

Vicki Adams, having started well in

this match, asking what the wait was

1:12:121:12:15

like. A discussion going on between

Lauren and Eve.

Lauren will be

1:12:151:12:23

checking herself if she is throwing

it properly or if Eve thinks the

1:12:231:12:30

conditions have slightly changed

because that can happen in a game.

1:12:301:12:33

You really can't take your eyes off

the ball at all.

1:12:331:12:43

Of course, we don't have the hammer,

here, Denmark do. They are behind

1:12:461:12:54

the cover at the moment but quite

close to the four foot so an

1:12:541:12:57

opportunity for us to freeze one in

if we get the chance to finish the

1:12:571:13:01

end for Denmark.

Ended up tapping

that one in. Not really turning a

1:13:011:13:10

lot. The two youngsters have done

well here, for Denmark, helping keep

1:13:101:13:14

them in this, the skip is well

playing her part. Two 18-year-olds

1:13:141:13:20

playing lead and second and of

course, Eve Muirhead herself, back

1:13:201:13:26

in Vancouver, was just 19, her first

Olympic experience.

Do you like this

1:13:261:13:33

rather than trying to run?

OK.

Vicki

just checking, Eve was convinced,

1:13:331:13:40

there is a great opportunity if you

can get one, just sitting on top of

1:13:401:13:44

that red, it would help close out

the end, make it a bit easier for us

1:13:441:13:50

to force a single.

1:13:501:13:57

The wait is good.

This will be about

the weight, and they are saying the

1:13:571:14:01

line was good when she set.

Don't

want to be back T, that is for sure,

1:14:011:14:06

is better. They can leave it until

the last minute, no bounce, no

1:14:061:14:12

doubt!

It's going to get a little.

Nice try.

1:14:121:14:23

I think I've said it before as well,

it isn't always a race to get to

1:14:231:14:28

that first position, sitting on the

8-foot there, the high the Danish

1:14:281:14:33

team has been really good. They can

make a play, make a mistake.

1:14:331:14:45

make a play, make a mistake.

So,

Julie Hogh... I hope I am

1:14:451:14:47

pronouncing her surname right...

Spreading them apart.

What we have

1:14:471:14:55

to watch, she has made two errors

there. They are actually OK. She has

1:14:551:15:01

pushed her Danish stones into the

house, we have one yellow sat there

1:15:011:15:06

at the moment. We have been pulled

into the draw at this game here.

1:15:061:15:13

Sucked into the Danish strategy

here. You really need a guard on.

1:15:131:15:22

Eve right into it.

1:15:221:15:31

You can hear Eve Muirhead watching

it all the way. Deciding who sweeps

1:15:361:15:39

when.

That is a great shot there.

Excellent, and has found her shots

1:15:391:15:48

today, a little more. We are

leading. It has been two stones from

1:15:481:15:54

Eve Muirhead. They have put a little

cloud over the performance so far

1:15:541:16:01

this morning.

1:16:011:16:07

We were on about these shots that

you make your opposition play.

1:16:181:16:21

Denise Dupont has had varied

success. She hasn't had to play many

1:16:211:16:28

draws. Doing well with her takeouts.

Finding the tax year. -- touch here.

1:16:281:16:38

Great Britain's shop... Think

Denmark lying second. These will get

1:16:381:16:45

moved around a little here.

1:16:451:16:51

moved around a little here.

She

wants to hit and roll slightly but

1:16:511:16:53

not too far. She may have left...

Not a skinny double? Because it

1:16:531:17:00

would go on to a red. We see how we

catch this...

It could be a chance.

1:17:001:17:14

Red you want to sit close to the

yellow, the opportunity for a double

1:17:141:17:18

for Denmark. You want to go to the

right-hand side. They are not

1:17:181:17:24

bothered if they roll out the house.

The yellow is not lying in the shop

1:17:241:17:28

position. -- shop position. It

forces a one or a two. -- shot

1:17:281:17:38

position. This is coming up on the

inside...

1:17:381:17:51

Where it has finished is OK, the

girls are saying that it works or

1:18:041:18:09

so. She cannot get a double in

there. She will push her own red

1:18:091:18:14

out. Her only option is to hit the

red that she is touching with her

1:18:141:18:20

brush at the moment...

Her yellow?

Yes, sorry.

1:18:201:18:30

Denmark are hoping to respond,

having held Britain to having one in

1:18:321:18:37

the previous end. It was more of a

mistake from Eve Muirhead.

Forcing

1:18:371:18:41

the issue.

1:18:411:18:50

the issue. Nothing to choose,

really, between these two. Although

1:18:501:18:53

this is a match that Great Britain

would expect to win. Nine times out

1:18:531:18:57

of ten and that they will have

Denmark beaten. They don't want this

1:18:571:19:01

to be the one where they don't.

1:19:011:19:08

to be the one where they don't. Does

not get the role across... A little

1:19:091:19:14

flash on the nose, that gives Eve

Muirhead a chance to ask for

1:19:141:19:19

something similar. Not quite there.

She is playing the stone, of course.

1:19:191:19:26

Two left. You can hear what they are

after, they want it right on the

1:19:261:19:34

nose.

1:19:341:19:39

nose. Making it increasingly

difficult for Denmark to come in

1:19:391:19:42

with the last stone.

1:19:421:19:48

Intently watching, Eve Muirhead. It

is really important to get this

1:20:011:20:05

straight on the nose... Well done.

1:20:051:20:11

Things are looking pretty good for

Great Britain at the moment, to

1:20:381:20:41

perhaps try and force just a one

here. It depends how Madeleine

1:20:411:20:47

captures this top yellow.

1:20:471:20:56

captures this top yellow. She has

done quite well, not making many

1:20:561:20:58

mistakes. Eve Muirhead hasn't quite

managed to make those fairly

1:20:581:21:04

straightforward shots. Now,

Madeleine Dupont trying to rescue

1:21:041:21:08

something for her team in this end.

Great Britain still with the second

1:21:081:21:18

stone there. Getting increasingly

more protected. What does Eve do

1:21:181:21:24

here?

1:21:241:21:29

She is worried that there is only

one yellow in there. She has to be

1:21:371:21:44

careful that there isn't a raise, or

that Denmark could play. She may

1:21:441:21:49

want to get a second shot in the

house.

1:21:491:21:55

These are important discussions. At

the end of the day, Eve needs to be

1:22:141:22:19

comfortable with the shot that she

chooses.

If Madelyn tries a run on

1:22:191:22:27

the centre...

1:22:271:22:32

the centre... Eve's second shot,

they are quite critical, they could

1:22:321:22:40

get something in.

She needs to get

this right in, through the gap, on

1:22:401:22:45

the center line. The weight and the

line, as ever, a combination of the

1:22:451:22:53

two. Eve Muirhead needs to find a

good shot this time. A little look

1:22:531:23:04

back for Vicki Adams, as if to say,

what did you say? They need to know

1:23:041:23:09

what to do with this.

1:23:091:23:18

what to do with this.

They are

trying for the red...

Too much on

1:23:181:23:21

it. Catching the red.

1:23:211:23:31

it. Catching the red. Denmark have

one shot here. Do they try and draw

1:23:311:23:34

for two? It is a difficult shot. Eve

Muirhead looks as though she is

1:23:341:23:42

fuming with herself. This much is

fairly evenly poised. If Denmark tie

1:23:421:23:50

this appear, and even if they get

two, they will be one ahead but it

1:23:501:23:54

is the British skip.

She will want

to successfully execute a stone in,

1:23:541:24:01

and sit where she wants to sit. It

is a very difficult shot. The yellow

1:24:011:24:08

is, I think, going to jam on the

red. She is in danger of giving us a

1:24:081:24:16

shot. She needs to be careful here.

It is risk versus reward.

They are

1:24:161:24:24

one down, you wonder whether you can

take the one and not do anything

1:24:241:24:29

silly.

She could get it here. Paying

heavy there. Coming through that

1:24:291:24:36

line she needs to follow.

She has

been given the same ice by her vice

1:24:361:24:44

skip and they will be attempting a

better shot than Eve Muirhead

1:24:441:24:48

managed a moment or two ago.

1:24:481:24:55

managed a moment or two ago.

This

one is high...

Needs to move, and

1:24:551:25:02

begins to turn now. It's a chance,

it will catch... It didn't. Still

1:25:021:25:06

moving! They needed to catch, it

isn't good enough. It is one for

1:25:061:25:13

Denmark and in the end it didn't

work out badly for Great Britain. At

1:25:131:25:19

the end of five ends, we are halfway

through the match. One shot for

1:25:191:25:22

Denmark in the fifth end. 3-3, the

snacks come out. While they have

1:25:221:25:29

their snacks, we will go back over

to Radzi and see what is going on

1:25:291:25:32

elsewhere...

1:25:321:25:37

elsewhere... RADZI: Over on the red

button, we have the ski slopestyle.

1:25:401:25:48

The super-g is also starting at

1:25:481:25:54

3am. Bear with me here, Katie,

Christie, Izzy, Lizzie and Dizzy! We

1:26:001:26:12

have speed skating, ski, skeleton

and slopestyle, happening throughout

1:26:121:26:16

Day number eight, it will be a super

Saturday for Team GB. Get in touch

1:26:161:26:22

using our hashtag, many of you have

got in touch. Let us know and

1:26:221:26:28

recreate some of the Olympic sports

that you have seen. You have outdone

1:26:281:26:31

yourself! Dan says that this is his

uncle doing the skeleton! Fair play

1:26:311:26:37

to him... I spoke to Dom Parsons,

the brand-new skeleton men's bronze

1:26:371:26:44

medallist, he said he used to

practice in the kitchen with a bowl

1:26:441:26:47

on his head! Louise Cenk Tosun,

saying that her eight-month-old is

1:26:471:26:52

in practice for the future Olympics

while watching the skeleton. Look at

1:26:521:26:57

that former! We have a future

skeleton champion in the making. The

1:26:571:27:03

final two runs of the women's

skeleton take place at 11:20am on

1:27:031:27:08

BBC run. -- BBC One. These are the

boys in the North Sea crude, on the

1:27:081:27:16

night shift. Who needs a 20 kilo

stone when you have an electric fan!

1:27:161:27:24

That must be the manager there,

standing and observing while

1:27:241:27:28

everyone else does the hard work!

The action that has been taking

1:27:281:27:37

place on BBC One has been the

curling. It has been very close. It

1:27:371:27:42

is currently 3-3, lets talk to the

commentators now. Steve and Jackie.

1:27:421:27:47

What have you made of the GB women

so far?

It is a little indifferent.

1:27:471:27:53

They would have expected to win

against Denmark. Nine times out of

1:27:531:27:57

ten they think they have been

Denmark. They had a big victory last

1:27:571:28:01

night against Canada, their

confidence would have been picked up

1:28:011:28:04

by that. Eve has been a little off.

3-3, we shouldn't be despondent. It

1:28:041:28:14

is a full week. It is a marathon.

Our counterparts on the next

1:28:141:28:18

commentary position, the China match

isn't doing very well. Or she has

1:28:181:28:23

fallen asleep! You had to look at

the whole week, and don't get down

1:28:231:28:29

about how things are going here. But

even needs to pick up her game.

She

1:28:291:28:35

looked frustrated at points in that

match?

Yes, it is all down to Eve at

1:28:351:28:43

the moment. We saw her take yourself

off the ice. She may go to the

1:28:431:28:47

bathroom and have a word with

herself. She came on and overthrew

1:28:471:28:52

the draw. The break will be crucial.

She will use her fifth man, use her

1:28:521:28:58

team and use her coach to advise

her. How she starts this sixth end.

1:28:581:29:04

We have a lot of the game to go.

They can definitely pick it up.

We

1:29:041:29:09

need the top four to qualify, how

difficult will that be?

It shouldn't

1:29:091:29:15

be that difficult. The team have

come here with a real expectation to

1:29:151:29:19

get to the gold medal match. They

started OK. Two wins and one defeat.

1:29:191:29:27

The defeat was disappointing, but it

is going to happen. You will have

1:29:271:29:31

the odd game in the week that does

not go your way. You lose to a team

1:29:311:29:35

you may expect to beat but we are in

a better position to Canada. They

1:29:351:29:39

are the gold favourites, losing all

of their first three matches. A win

1:29:391:29:46

today, we play against Korea

tonight. They looked at picking up

1:29:461:29:50

two wins today. Then you have four

and one, sitting in a good position

1:29:501:29:55

but they've got work to do here...

And I suppose when we talk about

1:29:551:30:01

Eve, we think of someone very young

but she is very experienced, how did

1:30:011:30:05

she get into the gold medal match?

You are right, she is so

1:30:051:30:12

experienced. In her first Olympic

Games she was 19 but before that she

1:30:121:30:18

had Genia medals under her belt. She

needs to remember what got her here.

1:30:181:30:23

It was her talent and dedication. It

was her training and going home from

1:30:231:30:27

the game at night and settling down,

just positive thinking, all the time

1:30:271:30:32

and that will be enough for the

girls to believe in themselves, play

1:30:321:30:36

good shots, make the shot matter and

win some games here.

We can see the

1:30:361:30:42

action has started again. Thank you

to both of you for your insight.

1:30:421:30:45

Back over to you.

1:30:451:30:49

COMMENTATOR: They need to but the

first half behind them, it is like

1:30:491:30:53

0-0 at half-time and you think, OK,

let's go out and play our game, we

1:30:531:30:58

can win this by just making our

shots, not worrying about the

1:30:581:31:04

opposition and if they do that, they

will be fine, just put it behind

1:31:041:31:08

you, start again and there's been no

damage, you did not play well but

1:31:081:31:13

there's no damage.

We are very

critical sometimes and it is just

1:31:131:31:18

small, small margins but that is the

difference between winning and

1:31:181:31:20

losing at this Olympic Games. We

know Eve Muirhead can play these

1:31:201:31:25

shots with her eyes shut, day in,

day out. Let's hope the pressure is

1:31:251:31:30

not getting to her because that is

the big thing as an athlete, the

1:31:301:31:33

more successful you get, the harder,

the more pressure that gets put on

1:31:331:31:39

top of you but generally, at the end

of the day you're putting pressure

1:31:391:31:43

on yourself, no one else is doing it

to you and it is how you manage it

1:31:431:31:47

mentally.

Just to refresh your

memory, as it were, if you are

1:31:471:31:52

either coming in, and you are just

picking up some curling for the

1:31:521:31:58

first time during these Winter

Olympics, ten ends, Great Britain

1:31:581:32:03

with the hammer in the sixth end, if

it went that way right the way

1:32:031:32:07

through, great Brymer -- Great

Britain would have the hammer in a

1:32:071:32:13

sixth, eighth and tenth, does not

always happen that way but would be

1:32:131:32:15

good to have the hammer in the final

end, the way the match is playing

1:32:151:32:18

out, pretty tight. So important to

get a win coming year. Quickly,

1:32:181:32:23

scores elsewhere because we are

watching the other teams, it is

1:32:231:32:26

important for the round robin table,

Japan, who are top at the moment,

1:32:261:32:32

with three wins, leading 4-3 over

China, another close match, China

1:32:321:32:37

getting back into it, OAR and the

USA having a real puzzle, 4-3 in

1:32:371:32:41

favour of the USA and Switzerland

are leading Sweden, who will also be

1:32:411:32:44

a danger or could be, in fact, both

of those teams, both would have come

1:32:441:32:51

here with medal hopes and

Switzerland leading 4-2.

1:32:511:32:59

Switzerland leading 4-2.

I'm going

positive back there, let it run.

1:32:591:33:03

Julie Hogh. You have not read the

Danish way of life, you know, the

1:33:031:33:11

worklife balance, what it is called

-- what is it called, hygge?

I have

1:33:111:33:20

not.

Something about worklife

balance. -- it is all about. Rod

1:33:201:33:25

something I have got down to a T.

They are very into it in Denmark,

1:33:251:33:30

hygge, I think it is about cuddling

up with a warm blanket or something,

1:33:301:33:33

watch the telly and don't go to

work, I think that is what the

1:33:331:33:39

worklife balance is about.

You see,

I would love that.

No wonder you are

1:33:391:33:45

happy.

1:33:451:33:52

So we're going to try to come around

behind the guard that Lauren put on,

1:33:551:34:02

there. We just needed to stop. Sit

down on the T-line, would be good

1:34:021:34:07

now.

1:34:071:34:10

Yeah, just a bit of a heavy run and

that has brought it right out the

1:34:141:34:18

other side, so Denmark can see that

quite easily.

1:34:181:34:25

For the second time, Lauren coming

out the other side. The second from

1:34:251:34:34

Julie Hogh, here.

1:34:341:34:37

Somebody sitting at home who knows

how to pronounce this properly is

1:34:481:34:51

laughing. So is Jackie.

1:34:511:34:57

H-o-e-g-h, that is how the BBC

pronunciation department has it.

1:35:061:35:12

Vicki Adams, just trying to get

something going, here. Have not

1:35:121:35:18

really manage to, yet, in the sixth

end, Great Britain with the hammer.

1:35:181:35:27

This might be a bit better, just

squeezing past the guard, still

1:35:271:35:31

going to come in.

1:35:311:35:38

going to come in.

That is a good

attempt, that prevents...

Not easy

1:35:381:35:42

to shift that.

Hoping they have come

far enough up to try and force

1:35:421:35:48

Denmark to take the back one as

well.

1:35:481:35:52

So Denise Dupont, this is where she

has been excelling, actually, she

1:35:581:36:06

has been playing her take out very

well indeed.

1:36:061:36:10

Picks it away nicely.

Another chance

for Britain to replace that and

1:36:141:36:21

better it. If they can just get it

biting at the eight T high. Right

1:36:211:36:30

round in behind the guard. -- at the

8-foot, T high. It would make it

1:36:301:36:36

hard for Denmark to follow.

We have

had two, now three attempts to come

1:36:361:36:44

down, here, Anna Sloan, trying to

get it right.

No line and wrong

1:36:441:36:50

weight at the moment.

The line is

close.

But this turns the end.

And

1:36:501:36:58

the weight comes off it, it really

is turning.

It has got a chance but

1:36:581:37:02

it is going to slide by.

Actually

it's dug in, not bad.

Just about

1:37:021:37:08

hung in.

The girls had to wait a

long time for that one to come

1:37:081:37:13

across the line.

1:37:131:37:16

So we are lying in second shot at

the moment. Denmark are going to try

1:37:191:37:25

to follow that in an better it. --

and better it. They want to lie two

1:37:251:37:32

shots to make it difficult for Great

Britain to pick up a two.

She took a

1:37:321:37:37

lot less ice, there.

And much more

running budgie has the opportunity

1:37:371:37:42

of April... Actually, it won't pull.

Just a bit more weight, you see.

1:37:421:37:47

That has worked out well for Great

Britain.

1:37:471:37:54

Britain.

Yeah, good call, I think,

come round that again, sit on the

1:37:551:37:59

8-foot, where we were going to sit

the first time. The eight foot being

1:37:591:38:04

the white part of the circles in the

house.

1:38:041:38:14

Answers on a postcard if you know

what a smidge this is.

I use that

1:38:151:38:20

word a lot, smidgen, actually. A

smidgen is even less than a smidge!

1:38:201:38:32

So these two sweepers are

controlling, well, they are not

1:38:331:38:36

controlling the weight, they are

just keeping an eye on what it is

1:38:361:38:39

doing. If they can just finished

this fully into the 8-foot, if they

1:38:391:38:43

can get it to bite on the eight

foot, I can't see through Vicki

1:38:431:38:48

Adams...

1:38:481:38:49

foot, I can't see through Vicki

That is a great shot.

In line with

1:38:491:38:52

the guard, come in just enough, well

swept, says Anna Sloan, good bit of

1:38:521:38:56

teamwork.

We have got the hammer. We

are setting up the end well, it is

1:38:561:39:02

not a rush to get the centre one, it

is about setting up stones in behind

1:39:021:39:06

guards, waiting for a mistake from

Denmark so you can capitalise on the

1:39:061:39:11

centre red.

It would be a good time

to get a two, in the sixth. This

1:39:111:39:21

match is much closer, well, closer

than it should be, really. Certainly

1:39:211:39:25

closer than they would want.

So the

yellow guard is really high is so

1:39:251:39:32

Madeleine Dupont can play a nice,

controlled weight, as long as she

1:39:321:39:37

gets past the top guard, she should

be able to hit the yellow in the

1:39:371:39:41

house.

Much tighter line, it has

obviously got the weight but has it

1:39:411:39:45

got by?

She hasn't!

It looked much

tighter, we have got a good look

1:39:451:39:51

coming down this side, they are on

the far rink and we are sitting

1:39:511:39:54

mooring line, well, almost halfway

between the two sheets of ice,

1:39:541:40:02

letter a and B. -- we sitting more

in line. Well, that was mistakenly

1:40:021:40:07

said force a mistake, we have not

seen many from the Danish skip up

1:40:071:40:10

until this point, it is more Eve

Muirhead who has been slipping up

1:40:101:40:13

but an opportunity, here. This is

when you want your skip to really...

1:40:131:40:22

Yeah, so the guys are looking for

this on the nose and I would have

1:40:221:40:25

been tempted to roll a little bit...

Behind.

Actually, no, don't bring

1:40:251:40:30

them to the left-hand side because

then it is much easier for a hit,

1:40:301:40:34

hit, hit on the yellows, take it to

the other side, keep the separation.

1:40:341:40:41

Great Britain lying second and third

shot come here but Eve Muirhead will

1:40:411:40:44

want to make it lying three, with

one more stone for Denmark. Of

1:40:441:40:50

course, even with the last stone.

Just nice, as long as it lies for

1:40:501:40:59

third shot, we are in a pretty good

position.

Hitting it right on the

1:40:591:41:03

nose, this. She could try and take

those two but it would not improve

1:41:031:41:10

things that much. She obviously

wants to try to limit Britain to a

1:41:101:41:16

single, make Eve's job as difficult

as possible, she would like to lie

1:41:161:41:22

shot, and if you can tuck it in

behind.

There is no easy double for

1:41:221:41:27

her to lie, definitely at this

stage, it could be a nice two, for

1:41:271:41:31

Great Britain, here.

1:41:311:41:40

She can play be sent a yellow and a

little role in behind the yellow at

1:41:431:41:47

the top of the house.

Yes... Looked

as though she was... Not quite sure

1:41:471:41:59

she would do what...

I think she has

chosen to take the top yellow and

1:41:591:42:03

maybe the back...

And the back one.

Will that change things?

It could

1:42:031:42:09

jam, actually.

It seems a strange

choice of shot, here.

1:42:091:42:21

Getting caught betwixt and between.

Again, a double, a skinny double.

1:42:211:42:26

She did well, there. I'm not sure

that was what she calls. But it

1:42:261:42:35

worked out well. However,...

We have

a simple hit on the nose for a two.

1:42:351:42:43

We said that before, remember she

had the chance for that and she

1:42:431:42:46

rolled out? On two occasions, Eve

has had a very straightforward shot.

1:42:461:42:54

Once it was to take two and she lost

the steel Micro, gave away the steel

1:42:541:42:59

Micro in the first end as well. --

the steal. Gave away the steal in

1:42:591:43:07

the first end as well. Determined

look from the British skip to get

1:43:071:43:12

this right, straightforward shot,

get your two. This looks better.

It

1:43:121:43:19

is very straight down that side of

the sheet, that was a nice row, just

1:43:191:43:23

what we were looking for.

Well, Eve

gets heard two which will make her

1:43:231:43:28

feel a lot better and it's a much

better situation for Great Britain,

1:43:281:43:31

it was a good shot and we will say

it was a good shot from Madeleine

1:43:311:43:34

Dupont to take out two British

stones but nothing she could do

1:43:341:43:37

about the other one which meant that

Eve Muirhead, with a straightforward

1:43:371:43:42

hit, picking up two and Great

Britain leading 5-3 after six ends.

1:43:421:43:48

Elsewhere, Japan 5-3 over China,

still a close match, the other two

1:43:481:43:53

matches, also close. Switzerland

leading Sweden 4-3 and the USA

1:43:531:43:56

leading OAR, Olympic Athletes from

Russia, 4-3.

1:43:561:44:06

It is about half full in here

today... A great atmosphere. There

1:44:121:44:17

was a lot of hollering last night,

the USA had a good performance in

1:44:171:44:22

the men's competition. Saturday

morning, it has been a holiday

1:44:221:44:28

period here yesterday.

1:44:281:44:38

period here yesterday. Looking down

the seats, I can see a youngster who

1:44:381:44:40

is fast asleep. Brought out to watch

the curling. He has a blanket. He

1:44:401:44:49

has fallen asleep... Just dozing.

Anyway... Exciting here, it depends

1:44:491:44:57

on which match you are watching.

They are all close, the USA have

1:44:571:45:06

tidied up, Great Britain now, they

need to concentrate. They have got

1:45:061:45:09

the lead. The tenth and the eighth,

it goes where the scoring goes at

1:45:091:45:16

each end. No more mistakes.

1:45:161:45:30

Mathilde Halse. This may have extra

on it.

1:45:351:45:42

Not what she wanted...

She would

have wanted to have stopped outside

1:45:481:45:51

of the house. We are playing the

three guards own rule.

1:45:511:46:01

three guards own rule. Not in the

house, they cannot be removed.

1:46:011:46:06

Lauren is allowed to take it out. A

nice hit and stick, that is what we

1:46:061:46:13

are looking for.

Good line, it stays

there. A good start at this end.

1:46:131:46:22

Plenty of stones left. A mistake at

the beginning. Sometimes people

1:46:221:46:29

think that the leads are not doing

much there but if you lead, make a

1:46:291:46:33

couple of mistakes... And it could

make life very difficult, especially

1:46:331:46:39

as you are trying to score. Always

an option as well, for skip or blank

1:46:391:46:46

and end. That was just about

catching it. Always an option. Carry

1:46:461:46:54

the hammer through. You can retain

the hammer. If you weren't watching

1:46:541:47:01

any of the mixed doubles, the new

competition, Canada won the gold

1:47:011:47:06

medal in it. It is new to the

Olympic Games. One man, one woman.

1:47:061:47:13

It ends, more time taken between the

shots.

1:47:131:47:22

shots. One of the features there is

that the hammer does not go with

1:47:231:47:25

you. It just misses.

1:47:251:47:34

you. It just misses. Just wanted to

take the Danish stone away.

1:47:391:47:45

1-1 in terms of the mistakes here.

1:47:511:47:57

Nothing out the front... They are

putting a corner guard up? I love

1:48:011:48:17

the dynamic between the players.

When we talked about mixed doubles,

1:48:171:48:21

it was fascinating. We had married

couples, engaged couples, brothers

1:48:211:48:26

and sisters, with only two people.

It was interesting. And watching

1:48:261:48:30

this, the young vice skip,

1:48:301:48:39

this, the young vice skip, Mathilde

Halse Krakow is contributing a lot.

1:48:401:48:52

I think nowadays... Probably just

top 12? They seem to be running a

1:48:521:49:03

little bit further than anticipated.

All of these players have two be

1:49:031:49:12

aware of the strategy that you are

going to play.

1:49:121:49:19

going to play. Quite often, many

years ago, if you were down the

1:49:191:49:21

bottom, you do not see it is all

down to the team. The skip and the

1:49:211:49:29

vice skip. Everybody should be

aware, know what they are doing and

1:49:291:49:32

speak their mind of possible. It is

about the team dynamic.

1:49:321:49:41

about the team dynamic. So, we are

on the first and the third shot

1:49:411:49:44

there. It is critical to have two

in-house. Keep Denmark away from the

1:49:441:49:52

other yellow stone. Which is in the

centre.

This needs to move a bit...

1:49:521:49:58

Yes.

It just turned enough at the

end. We were watching, I think it is

1:49:581:50:05

close. I bet she was worried for a

short while.

1:50:051:50:14

Easy, normal, that is what we heard.

They have a time that they play

1:50:231:50:29

constantly for. An easy hitting

shot.

1:50:291:50:41

That is excellent.

Good!

1:50:421:50:55

Great Britain keeping a bit of

control of this end here. Denmark

1:50:571:51:02

having to follow through each time.

Ooh...

1:51:021:51:16

Ooh... Does not take it out.

Catching it thin.

1:51:171:51:28

Catching it thin.

Make sure that you

are wide enough... That is good. We

1:51:281:51:35

know it is up to speed.

1:51:351:51:41

know it is up to speed.

Denise

Dupont, in particular, she is

1:51:411:51:47

playing takeouts with some weight

and things. Doing well in the draw,

1:51:471:51:55

or shot with a little less weight

there.

1:51:551:52:07

This looks like it had a lot of

running on it. Wanted to be on the

1:52:071:52:12

T-line. They are going to try and

take this as far back as possible.

1:52:121:52:19

They don't want to leave it... That

is a shame. They left the nest

1:52:191:52:25

there. Indicating that she wants to

sit between these two stones. Making

1:52:251:52:29

it difficult to move. That is a

shame.

It was building well.

You are

1:52:291:52:35

never guaranteed of not losing one

that three stones in the house would

1:52:351:52:40

be a good opportunity. You need to

keep a separation from them. They

1:52:401:52:43

could have chosen to put one in the

centre and say I have one in the

1:52:431:52:47

wing and one in the centre and one

in the other wing, what will you do

1:52:471:52:51

now?

1:52:511:52:56

now?

They tried to hold the line on

it... Not wanting to bounce too

1:52:561:53:02

much.

She is just over... Catching

it there. Squeezing it out.

1:53:021:53:14

Overcooking it.

1:53:141:53:20

Overcooking it. She wants to push it

right through between them. Come on

1:53:201:53:25

now... Catch enough of the red to

squeeze it out.

1:53:251:53:39

She will be watching it from that

end. Eve Muirhead, trying to be

1:53:431:53:48

superbly accurate here. This would

be a cracking shot. She manages to

1:53:481:53:56

catch the red. Away it goes. What

shot from Eve Muirhead! A sigh of

1:53:561:54:03

relief... That is a beaut, that one!

Clean as a whistle.

Left both of the

1:54:031:54:14

yellows as well.

1:54:141:54:20

yellows as well. They are still

there to come and rest on. Can

1:54:211:54:24

Madeleine Dupont better the shot of

her sister?

1:54:241:54:32

Apart from anything else, Eve making

absolute confidence. Could get one

1:54:391:54:47

or even two here.

1:54:471:54:57

This could be losing line, going

right through the middle. Catching

1:54:591:55:05

it on the inside... Just sitting in

the middle.

She has just played this

1:55:051:55:13

shop... Same shot, you just heard

her say that. Still got that stone

1:55:131:55:25

on the other side, whatever happens

with her own here.

Don't worry about

1:55:251:55:29

the yellow shops, you would hope the

opposition draw away but they get

1:55:291:55:39

one here.

Lets get rid of this

one...

1:55:391:55:50

A straightforward task here. Eve

Muirhead wanting to move the Danish

1:55:551:55:58

stone. An opportunity for one, it is

nicely done. So, the Danish skip

1:55:581:56:09

with one stone left.

1:56:091:56:15

with one stone left. That would put

them within a shot of Great Britain.

1:56:171:56:20

But again, as we've said earlier on,

to have the hammer in the eighth and

1:56:201:56:24

tenth, things are looking an awful

lot better. Smile, laugh!

1:56:241:56:39

Madeleine Dupont, trying to draw in

here. Needs to be right with this

1:56:391:56:44

too. Looking straightforward and

easy. It is. It is the Olympic

1:56:441:56:49

Games. Should be OK, I think. I'm

not too worried about it.

1:56:491:57:00

not too worried about it. A little

bit of juice on it.

1:57:001:57:07

bit of juice on it. Anna Sloan,

sweeping...

It was lucky.

Three or

1:57:071:57:11

four inches more, it would have been

a steal for Great Britain. In the

1:57:111:57:16

end, it is one for Denmark. They

have a deficit of just one. Great

1:57:161:57:21

Britain leading five, four, -- 5-4.

Britain with a hammer in the eighth,

1:57:211:57:28

and this is looking better.

Stringing a lot of shots together.

1:57:281:57:33

That is good. A really good end,

they forced the one.

Everybody

1:57:331:57:41

played a part. Nice shots, a couple

of mistakes from Denmark. But that

1:57:411:57:46

is changing things around a little

bit. Britain, they made more

1:57:461:57:49

mistakes up until this point. Just

hanging in there.

1:57:491:57:59

hanging in there. Like a magnet,

pulling it towards the hole there.

1:57:591:58:03

The Danish girls were caught between

the devil and the detail, sweeping

1:58:031:58:07

to hold the line. You need your

sweepers to shout, only for the

1:58:071:58:12

wait. You could have left it as a

normal draw.

1:58:121:58:22

normal draw. A

1:58:221:58:24

. Another great chance for

Scotland... Sorry, Great Britain, to

1:58:291:58:34

lift their chances. They are

representing Great Britain at the

1:58:341:58:39

Winter Olympics, although they are

all from Scotland. The Academy, it

1:58:391:58:48

is a centre of excellence.

I was up

there to visit them in September,

1:58:481:58:56

and a good setup they have got

their, the men and women.

All of

1:58:561:59:01

these girls, full-time athletes, on

the ice every day I think. At least

1:59:011:59:08

six days a week the army ice, and

they are in the gym, training as

1:59:081:59:13

well. Done at power of preparation

to get here.

It is a long week, you

1:59:131:59:24

have to have endurance and strength,

and recover quickly. A lot of work,

1:59:241:59:29

particularly for the sweepers.

1:59:291:59:36

particularly for the sweepers.

They

have decided not to put the corner

1:59:381:59:42

on, they have decided to put one in

the house. Denmark just choosing to

1:59:421:59:46

ignore it.

1:59:461:59:51

ignore it.

They will be wanting to

do the same, if they can limit Great

1:59:521:59:56

Britain to one, maybe even force a

steal. That would mean Great Britain

1:59:562:00:03

would carry the hammer on to the

night, if they can manage that. But

2:00:032:00:06

they are up against it now. Still

very tight elsewhere. 4-4, USA and

2:00:062:00:18

OAR, that is just coming to an end.

Switzerland 4-3 over Sweden, Japan

2:00:182:00:24

5-3 over China. And in fact USA just

picked up one, they did have the

2:00:242:00:30

hammer there. So it is 5- 40 USA.

That one is a very tight affair. --

2:00:302:00:39

5-4 to USA. Sweden have just gone

6-4 up against Switzerland. They are

2:00:392:00:48

continuing their good form.

2:00:482:00:50

Denmark have put the two centres on,

but Great Britain already have a

2:00:552:01:01

shot in the house, they have decided

they have got to get round about

2:01:012:01:06

this first.

Well slapped.

That is a

really good shot. Top half of the

2:01:062:01:12

circles is where you want to place

it -- well swept.

2:01:122:01:22

it -- well swept. Denmark can then

come up and raced the top of it. A

2:01:222:01:26

lovely shop there.

2:01:262:01:32

lovely shop there.

They are making

their shots now, and forcing the

2:01:322:01:35

issue with Denmark, putting the

pressure on them.

2:01:352:01:45

It could bounce off, it depends if

it finishes there.

Just a single!

2:01:462:01:54

Eve does have the hammer, she has

two in the house, she has to clear

2:01:542:02:00

these guards at front. You had had

just seen, take the top one.

2:02:002:02:11

It will be four games in after this

session, not all the teams playing

2:02:182:02:22

every session, Canada not playing,

Korea not playing in this session.

2:02:222:02:28

The way the scores are at the

moment, if they were to continue,

2:02:282:02:32

still a few ends to go, Japan and

Sweden would be undefeated if they

2:02:322:02:37

held on to believe that they have at

the moment. Great Britain would be

2:02:372:02:43

3-1 if they were to win this as

well. It starts to make it even more

2:02:432:02:50

difficult for the favourites,

Canada. Just catching that one on

2:02:502:02:54

the way in, it was almost good. You

can't get ahead of yourself, but you

2:02:542:03:03

do keep an eye on how things are

developing.

You have always got one

2:03:032:03:07

eye on teams that you are going to

be playing later in the week to see

2:03:072:03:12

how they are progressing and have a

gameplay has been happening. The

2:03:122:03:16

coaches watch the other games at

all? Very good question, I was just

2:03:162:03:20

about to say, on the bench, Kelly

Schafer, as much as she practices

2:03:202:03:27

that night, she has her little spy

glasses and watches the other teams,

2:03:272:03:33

the numbers that they play, a tech

to see the running order of the

2:03:332:03:39

opposition, all of that happens.

Rush Creek they check to see. --

2:03:392:03:44

they check.

A little bit too much

there from Vicki Adams.

2:03:442:03:56

there from Vicki Adams. Team sports,

you want to know as much about the

2:03:592:04:01

opposition, they all know each other

very well, these teams play each

2:04:012:04:05

other regularly. Just how things are

going through the week, and as you

2:04:052:04:10

said, it is always useful to know

who is playing what shops, what they

2:04:102:04:18

are favouring. -- shops. -- shots.

Denise Dupont now.

Just playing a

2:04:182:04:33

nice control tap on a read on to

yellow I think she is trying to do

2:04:332:04:40

here. Trying to keep that centre

four foot.

She did indicate it was

2:04:402:04:50

wide out there.

A nice weight she

played, but just not the right line.

2:04:502:05:00

And has played better today as well.

She has missed one or two, Anna.

2:05:062:05:19

Anna, the only left-handed player in

the team. It would be nice if she

2:05:192:05:29

can catch this in stay in the house.

She has just overthrown that, that

2:05:292:05:34

is a shame.

Look to heavens for Anna

Sloan. That really was not a good

2:05:342:05:41

shot. Not only did it catch that

Stone, but it took her own out and

2:05:412:05:47

the other one that was lying at the

back.

2:05:472:05:54

back. On normal ice I would be quite

happy, she said.

We watch the mixed

2:05:552:06:00

doubles last week and it was suing

in, 6-foot if not more. -- swinging.

2:06:002:06:08

But the team event came on and they

came on with a different set of

2:06:082:06:13

stones, that must be a regulation

that they had, that the mixed

2:06:132:06:17

doubles played with one set and the

individual teams played with

2:06:172:06:19

another. This is not swinging as

much as the mixed doubles were.

2:06:192:06:25

Overcooked that as well. Just a

couple of errors they are. Both

2:06:252:06:30

teams struggling now. The favour is

back with us. And just needs to...

2:06:302:06:41

Let's get this one right, Anna

Sloan.

2:06:412:06:47

Sloan. Just needs to do what she

normally does. Set things up nicely

2:06:502:06:55

for Eve Muirhead.

2:06:552:07:02

for Eve Muirhead. This one is

looking a bit better.

2:07:022:07:08

They have got their two in. Just

this gets left. -- just the skips

2:07:152:07:22

left.

There is an opportunity here

for a Skinny double. If she gets it

2:07:222:07:33

wrong she can hit and maybe roll

just to the top of the face of it,

2:07:332:07:39

but we have set ourselves in a good

position here. We have two in the

2:07:392:07:44

house, they are separated.

Even if

you get one here, you are 6-4, two

2:07:442:07:51

and is left, hammer in the final

end.

The key is just to score.

2:07:512:08:03

end.

The key is just to score.

Try

not to leave the double here if she

2:08:072:08:10

can, or at least make it difficult.

Eve Muirhead has played a lot down

2:08:102:08:22

here, she has performed well in the

last couple of ends. Anna Sloan just

2:08:222:08:30

holding the room at the edge of the

stone.

2:08:302:08:41

You sort of hold your breath at

times.

On normal international ice I

2:08:452:08:53

would expect that await to move move

a lot. Well controlled there.

Just

2:08:532:09:02

having another look. If you

2:09:022:09:11

having another look. If you -- is

she just going to draw in.

Even if

2:09:112:09:15

she tried to hit that top one, she

would not get that shot at the

2:09:152:09:21

yellow, it would still be closer to

the house.

Is she looking at it

2:09:212:09:26

again? That is dangerous.

2:09:262:09:32

again? That is dangerous. Coming

down the centre here is not easy to

2:09:342:09:36

judge this.

2:09:362:09:41

Here we go, Denmark trying to take

both British stones out here, it is

2:09:442:09:50

a risky shot. Maybe she thinks it is

time to play a high risk strategy.

2:09:502:09:58

It has got a chance. Good curling.

It is right on the nose. Fairly

2:09:582:10:07

straightforward, there is only one

Danish stone in there and just a

2:10:072:10:11

little shake of the head, it was

never really close, that one. Eve

2:10:112:10:15

Muirhead, once more chance for them

to put some real distance between

2:10:152:10:20

themselves and Denmark, she just --

just

2:10:202:10:33

just on the nose, absolutely. Just

needs to play a straightforward shot

2:10:352:10:42

come hit it right on the nose, take

it clean.

The line looking very

2:10:422:10:50

good. And Eve Muirhead looks as

though she has done the job here.

2:10:502:10:57

Taps that one out of the house,

Great Britain take their two, and

2:10:572:11:02

now they would lead this 17- four

over Denmark, just two ends to go,

2:11:022:11:07

that is much more like it, and since

the break, they have had this match

2:11:072:11:11

under control, limited Denmark to

one in the seventh and now in the

2:11:112:11:19

eight, things looking much better

Great Britain. 7-4 after eight.

2:11:192:11:29

Great Britain. 7-4 after eight. Some

close matches here going on this

2:11:302:11:33

morning. Sweden picked up three in

the seventh and their match against

2:11:332:11:37

Switzerland after having trailed

most of that one, they are now 6-

2:11:372:11:41

for a head. -- 6-4 ahead. The USA

and OAR having no real tussle, --

2:11:412:11:54

having a real puzzle, 5-4 at the

moment, it USA leading. In Japan and

2:11:542:12:00

China, also a nice friendly rivalry,

that is the one in front of us

2:12:002:12:07

actually, and 5-3 to Japan at the

moment. China just blanked the

2:12:072:12:16

previous and an got the hammer in

this one, they have the advantage of

2:12:162:12:20

the eighth and the tents, same as

Great Britain. -- 10th.

2:12:202:12:28

Great Britain. -- 10th.

All these

girls are coming from Scotland, they

2:12:292:12:33

are very fortunate as well, they

have a lot of ice rinks up in

2:12:332:12:37

Scotland in comparison to down

south. Because these girls are out

2:12:372:12:46

here, the winner of the Scottish

Championships this weekend will have

2:12:462:12:54

a play-off against Eve

2:12:542:13:02

a play-off against Eve Muirhead and

Smith in the men's, to see who will

2:13:022:13:05

represent Scotland at the World

Championships at the end of March,

2:13:052:13:08

beginning of April.

All those

curlers in Scotland can't watch

2:13:082:13:14

this, they are all curling.

They

will be tired if they are watching

2:13:142:13:21

the Olympic Games, and then have to

play themselves. That will be a

2:13:212:13:26

tightly contested competition, what

time are we at, it is Saturday...

2:13:262:13:32

The championship was after she came

back to be plentiful championship

2:13:402:13:43

with her, I had to play her in the

final in a best-of-3 and it was a

2:13:432:13:49

tight game at we managed to win that

one and that was here.

So Scotland

2:13:492:13:54

are the world champions.

It was

agreed years of Scotland. --A great

2:13:542:14:02

year for. Olympic and world

champions way back in 2002. My

2:14:022:14:07

goodness, a long time ago.

I can go

a lot further. Let's not go there!

2:14:072:14:15

But really, they wouldn't be worried

about that, they would be focused on

2:14:152:14:19

the game here. They have got a

middle round the deck or not, it

2:14:192:14:24

will have to concentrate when they

get home if they want the chance to

2:14:242:14:27

represent their country at the World

Championships.

Well, if you are just

2:14:272:14:34

coming him from a night out, well

done, you, you have turned the TV on

2:14:342:14:43

before you go to bed, we are in the

late stages of this important match

2:14:432:14:47

for Great Britain to win. On paper

they would be seeing this as a

2:14:472:14:51

victory but they struggled early on,

very much in control now, though, to

2:14:512:14:55

make ends to go. Eve Muirhead

herself would probably say she was

2:14:552:14:59

the one struggling the most. She

missed a few shots in the first five

2:14:592:15:04

ends but since the halfway point,

has been much better. If you have

2:15:042:15:09

been with us from the start, sitting

in bed maybe, watching this, hanging

2:15:092:15:15

on, a little bit more, keep hanging

on. That has rolled into a nice

2:15:152:15:20

place.

She was keen to get the stone

and roll it right at the house

2:15:202:15:26

itself but the girls have swept well

and it went across and tucked in

2:15:262:15:31

behind the Danish red. You have to

be careful here. We have to play the

2:15:312:15:39

scoreboard. We are three up. If we

lose the two here it is in the

2:15:392:15:45

disaster to go into the last end

with the hammer one up. Always a

2:15:452:15:49

good position to be in. But at the

moment we are sitting a few shots in

2:15:492:15:56

the house so that is good.

Just get

a feeling with Denmark as well, they

2:15:562:16:03

have missed a fair few shops in the

last two or three ends. -- shots. A

2:16:032:16:09

massive wind to them yesterday

against Canada. -- win for. Everyone

2:16:092:16:16

was talking about the fact that the

Canadian skipper lost three and the

2:16:162:16:24

Danish didn't get much credit to the

wind. It was all about Canada

2:16:242:16:28

losing.

The Danes were right in

there at the end, it was a tight

2:16:282:16:35

game. It his OK, a little heavy, it

would have been nice to her to keep

2:16:352:16:44

the shooter in the house. What we

have done now is given an

2:16:442:16:48

opportunity to Denmark to come in

behind the red and the yellow and

2:16:482:16:53

the left-hand side there, and be

buried.

2:16:532:17:01

Again, it is all about setting up

the stones, but always rushing to

2:17:052:17:09

the centre. Macca for not always.

She can get this all the way. She

2:17:092:17:18

has done well. She will sit back a

little bit. Good shot. It is not

2:17:182:17:25

sitting shot but it is in a perfect

position.

2:17:252:17:35

Can't jam, she says.

She doesn't

want to jam the red on the yellow

2:17:512:17:59

and leave it sitting there, either.

2:17:592:18:06

Anna Sloan.

Nice shot!

Nicely done!

2:18:082:18:23

It would have been nice if the other

red had gone right out. She got too

2:18:232:18:27

much of it. But it has opened a bit

more.

2:18:272:18:36

I think the way that Eve is playing

right now, she would fancy her

2:18:362:18:42

chances of limiting Denmark to one.

Even better.

2:18:422:18:51

Got a lot of handle rotation. It

will go right up the back, I think.

2:18:542:18:59

Eve is trying hard to help it on its

way.

Just hanging on. They are the

2:18:592:19:07

ones that annoy you the worst.

We

have won just hanging on as well at

2:19:072:19:12

the back, a little better than that.

So Britain lying second and third

2:19:122:19:17

shop here. -- shot.

2:19:172:19:21

Let's ensure we sit this one and we

stay in the house. -- hit.

A fair

2:19:252:19:34

few mistakes starting to creep into

Denmark. A little bit of pressure

2:19:342:19:41

applied so let's not loosen up on

that.

This is not moving much at

2:19:412:19:45

all.

Really skinny here.

Get the

back one.

Just nudges it out. A

2:19:452:19:55

little bonus there. They still have

to make in. -- two in. That will go

2:19:552:20:05

down as a double take out.

That did

the job, actually, because these

2:20:052:20:11

little ones that are biting on at

the edge, if we don't make the right

2:20:112:20:16

spots and we get away with a double,

they are making easy shots after

2:20:162:20:22

that.

2:20:222:20:24

OK, so now it is down to the skips.

2:20:402:20:49

Eve Muirhead has been producing her

shots in a way in which she would

2:20:552:21:03

expect, she seemed to go off and

have a little word with herself

2:21:032:21:06

and...

I think the fifth and break

is always good, you get the chance

2:21:062:21:12

to speak to your coach, you get to

deal with your frustrations and then

2:21:122:21:17

they are the ones who will tell you

put them away, come out and play

2:21:172:21:21

what you can play. All she needed to

do was catch it.

Just got enough.

2:21:212:21:31

Well done. Still with the two there.

Phew! Sometimes, it works, sometimes

2:21:312:21:46

it hits the right way and sometimes

you just get enough there.

2:21:462:21:54

you just get enough there.

Denmark

are now going to try to freeze on

2:21:542:21:57

the back yellow.

As you said, even

if Denmark get two here it is 7-6.

2:21:572:22:05

Should not be a worry.

Elsewhere, I

will tell you that Sweden have

2:22:052:22:13

jumped out to 8- for now, they have

turned the match around, China have

2:22:132:22:20

gone ahead of Japan 6-5 and the USA

and OAR are tied. You can see there,

2:22:202:22:28

her accuracy, the draw isn't great.

2:22:282:22:35

Just trying to come right in on top

of this British stone.

2:22:422:22:53

of this British stone.

A nice

attempt which it has come up score

2:22:532:22:57

-- short.

She doesn't even need it,

she will sit there, she has two.

2:22:572:23:06

Giving up the one here. Absolutely

fine.

2:23:062:23:13

fine. Just make sure this goes.

You

heard her bare saying she doesn't

2:23:202:23:26

want to jam in the back read either.

It was just biting the circle for a

2:23:262:23:32

little while until it was took out

my Anna. -- by Anna.

2:23:322:23:43

Looks a little concerned with that.

It is always good when you hear a

2:23:432:23:48

yes, no. Always close. Lovely.

That

is interesting. This is really good

2:23:482:23:57

play from Eve Muirhead.

2:23:572:24:03

play from Eve Muirhead. Ends six,

seven, eight and 90 has been back to

2:24:032:24:05

her best. Nicely done.

I think in

those hit here would be good for

2:24:052:24:13

Madeleine Dupont but she has to be

careful she doesn't jam it onto the

2:24:132:24:18

back and give away a one here.

2:24:182:24:26

A great end Great Britain. Three

shots in the house, Denmark with the

2:24:262:24:34

last stone, having two through this

and hopefully get a one.

2:24:342:24:42

Again, you know, it looks fairly

straightforward shot but Madeleine

2:24:432:24:48

Dupont has missed a few. Needs to

shift.

She hasn't, she has got the

2:24:482:25:03

shot.

Just, again, by two or three

inches, she gets the shot. I don't

2:25:032:25:09

know what they are waiting for.

Just

for Anna to doublecheck.

The vice

2:25:092:25:17

skips have to agree before anyone

moves the stones. Even though we can

2:25:172:25:21

clearly see. 1-4 Denmark and it

means Great Britain have a handy

2:25:212:25:27

lead, they leapt by two, 7-5 after

two ends, but will have the hammer

2:25:272:25:32

in the final end and things are

looking good for Eve Muirhead 's at

2:25:322:25:36

this point. No mistakes now. A nice,

clean final end and they walk away

2:25:362:25:44

with a good victory.

2:25:442:25:51

Yeah, Great Britain have really

stepped it up in the second half of

2:25:512:25:55

the game, 10% higher in their

shooting starts against Denmark. --

2:25:552:26:01

stats.

This is a stat for you, it is

about minus five degrees in the

2:26:012:26:13

commentary booth.

Even in the

audience, no one looks very warm.

I

2:26:132:26:18

think they have their cold blow was

on again. -- blowers. I know we have

2:26:182:26:26

mentioned this so many times, it

just feels odd, with city well

2:26:262:26:31

wrapped up and watching people in

the same building who are in

2:26:312:26:36

T-shirts. -- we sit here well

wrapped up. They are obviously

2:26:362:26:43

playing, though, and well wrapped up

there.

2:26:432:26:52

there. The young skipper, Mathilde

Halse, will be hoping to at least

2:26:522:26:55

set things up.

We need to see the

tech shot being, it isn't allowed to

2:26:552:27:01

move the stone from the play because

it is in the Freegard zone but they

2:27:012:27:06

are allowed to kick the edge of it

to open up the foot for you. The big

2:27:062:27:11

shop at the Leeds have to practise.

Yes, delicate, finesse shot. Very

2:27:112:27:17

accurate. We heard that, heavy,

right from the beginning. It isn't

2:27:172:27:25

going to catch that at all.

2:27:252:27:32

Teams can choose furious ways to

play the shot, they can play out to

2:27:352:27:40

end to try to catch it, like, sweep

it before it catches the outside

2:27:402:27:44

edge or play it tight and it slides

across the face and catches the

2:27:442:27:48

other side of it so the running, the

speed is taken off the running as it

2:27:482:27:53

hits it. -- various ways.

If you

don't take them, why would you, you

2:27:532:28:01

wouldn't always, but...

? It is

worth a try, in some instances he

2:28:012:28:07

would push the stone through the

back and try with Vicki who can hit

2:28:072:28:12

the double take out. I think you

have to try

2:28:122:28:19

the double take out. I think you

have to try.

2:28:192:28:28

have to try. So we are going to try

the same shot again and that is what

2:28:282:28:32

she said, if you are a little heavy

you will come on to the one in the

2:28:322:28:37

house.

2:28:372:28:43

It hasn't taken the front stone. It

will go straight through to this

2:28:472:28:51

one.

OK, plan B, but that was

perfect.

2:28:512:29:05

We should see Denmark trying to put

on another... I think they want is

2:29:132:29:21

in the house but I would have

attempted to put it just outside the

2:29:212:29:25

rings.

If you are to down, final

end, you busily not going to force

2:29:252:29:31

the issue. -- two down.

I would have

stopped it just there are, and she

2:29:312:29:37

did ask for it to come right in.

Eve

just wanting to shift this guide.

2:29:372:29:44

Can do that now. Vicki Adams, they

have all played their part today.

2:29:442:29:56

Good team performance. They have

probably all also had the odd little

2:29:562:30:04

error, but that is expected, ten

ends, you are not going to play

2:30:042:30:10

every shot perfectly. But as you are

saying, the stats are pretty good.

2:30:102:30:18

Oh! She almost, the little green

lights that are on the stone would

2:30:182:30:32

have turned Red Hat she not let go.

-- turned red had she not let go.

2:30:322:30:39

There is a little mechanism inside

the handle of the curling stone, and

2:30:392:30:43

if it crosses like that there is a

metal line under the ice, and if you

2:30:432:30:50

haven't released it before it

reaches that line, the red lights

2:30:502:30:55

will flash and that is a violation,

and the stones have to be removed.

2:30:552:31:00

So you want to see green lights on

the front.

This is working out

2:31:002:31:07

pretty nicely, straightforward to

Great Britain. There are four stones

2:31:072:31:13

left, don't forget Denmark would

need to score a steel of two here.

2:31:132:31:19

Which would be remarkable. For them

to tie it up. Even if they did

2:31:192:31:28

steal, I don't think it's going to

happen, but we would go to an extra

2:31:282:31:33

end. If they stole two, one is not

good enough.

They have only got one

2:31:332:31:43

in the house at the moment, they are

putting short guards on but they

2:31:432:31:46

would have to bring another one to

house at some point, and there is

2:31:462:31:51

always going to be another one there

for Great Britain to remove.

2:31:512:31:59

Great Britain are going to be back

again this evening, the match

2:32:412:32:46

against, it is Korea, isn't it?

Yeah.

That will be a good

2:32:462:32:55

atmosphere, Great Britain against

Korea in here. It could be a very

2:32:552:32:59

good day for them, we expect them to

wrap this one up here and then they

2:32:592:33:05

are certainly capable of beating

Korea, but Korea have already done

2:33:052:33:09

some damage themselves.

2:33:092:33:15

some damage themselves. Just

clearing up here.

2:33:152:33:23

Denmark only have two more stones.

This could well be finished in the

2:33:292:33:35

next minute or two.

2:33:352:33:45

next minute or two. All very relaxed

now, all very happy. A little bit

2:33:452:33:50

tense earlier on, we were tied up at

halfway, 3-3. She still hasn't taken

2:33:502:33:59

her jacket off. Madeline Dupont, the

Danish skip.

2:33:592:34:12

She is looking for this just to come

up short. At this stage of the game,

2:34:182:34:23

she is looking forward to clean

misses from Great Britain, and that

2:34:232:34:27

is not going to happen.

2:34:272:34:33

is not going to happen.

Not going to

go to double here?

No, you heard

2:34:362:34:41

Vicky that, if you don't make the

double and you leave your shooter in

2:34:412:34:44

the top there, you get the chance to

get to in behind the guard, and that

2:34:442:34:49

this makes it harder to you. You

just have to remove one with your

2:34:492:34:53

last stone.

Eve Muirhead, who has

had a very good second half of this

2:34:532:35:01

match, is looking to remove one of

these. Nicely done, avoid her own as

2:35:012:35:08

well. So Denmark and then, they had

to force the two here in this final

2:35:082:35:17

end, Great Britain with that hammer

means that whatever she does here,

2:35:172:35:23

Britain can just move one of their

stones and that will be it. A really

2:35:232:35:28

good, solid all-round performance.

You want that consistency, all four

2:35:282:35:32

players playing their part, playing

well. If you keep building during

2:35:322:35:38

the week, hit your best form at the

back end of the week, a week

2:35:382:35:43

tomorrow, the women's final, a long

way off, a lot can happen between

2:35:432:35:48

now and then.

2:35:482:35:51

They will be able to go off after

this match this morning and chill

2:35:542:35:59

out this afternoon, they should be

able to chill out happy with their

2:35:592:36:05

performance.

2:36:052:36:13

Madeleine choosing to just separate

these stones rather than hold them

2:36:192:36:24

together, but Eve is just going to

go to that left Hama, as long as she

2:36:242:36:31

aims at the target, the girls should

be able to hold it.

It doesn't

2:36:312:36:35

matter if Denmark do get one here,

Eve Muirhead's job is simple,

2:36:352:36:41

straightforward, just to remove that

Danish stone from the house, sit

2:36:412:36:44

dairy she wants to. -- sit there if

she wants to. To shot advantage,

2:36:442:36:52

sofa Eve Muirhead, a look of

determination, one which has been

2:36:522:36:57

evident in this second half in

particular. Really got her form back

2:36:572:37:02

together again. Hit it right on the

nose, Denmark will take a shot

2:37:022:37:06

there, but that doesn't matter, it

is a victory for Great Britain, only

2:37:062:37:10

by one shot in the end. Denmark, as

steel of one in the 10th. But that

2:37:102:37:18

means our win of 7-6 per Great

Britain, and they now have three

2:37:182:37:23

victories and one defeat after four

matches.

matches. Thank you very much indeed.
