A very good afternoon to you once again and welcome back to Sochi on

:00:41.:00:45.

the day when Great Britain's curlers begin their quest for medals right

:00:46.:00:48.

here in the Ice Cube Arena. This is the Iceberg Skating Palace, the

:00:49.:00:51.

scene of Russia's first gold medal last night in the presence of

:00:52.:00:56.

Vladimir Putin in the figure skating Championships. Overnight, it was

:00:57.:01:01.

transferred into an arena for short track speed skating.

:01:02.:01:17.

They have all gone! That leaves Steven Bradbury crossing the

:01:18.:01:25.

finishing line! He lost it on the line!

:01:26.:01:33.

Great excitement for Great Britain because Jack Whelbourne has made the

:01:34.:01:40.

final, no British man has done that. This is how he did it. Our

:01:41.:01:43.

commentary team describing the action.

:01:44.:01:50.

Come on, Jack, show us what you are made of here, if he can skate as

:01:51.:01:59.

well as he did in the heats, then he has a very good chance. It is all

:02:00.:02:03.

about jostling for position, Jack Whelbourne wants to stay out of

:02:04.:02:07.

trouble. He did very well in the first heat. Charles Hamelin of

:02:08.:02:18.

Canada in second place. Changing of the guard at the front as the

:02:19.:02:27.

Italian tries to come through. But the Canadian is having none of it.

:02:28.:02:32.

He is the current World Cup leader, Charles Hamelin, he is the man of

:02:33.:02:38.

the moment, keeping it high. The Netherlands are up in third. Russia

:02:39.:02:43.

coming down the side. Jack Whelbourne at the moment, back in

:02:44.:02:48.

fifth position. Jack Whelbourne has work to do, he is slipping away.

:02:49.:02:53.

Eight laps to go and the speed is starting to lift up. Canada moving

:02:54.:03:08.

into first place. Jack Whelbourne is skating well. At the moment, he is

:03:09.:03:14.

right in the pace of Russia. Jack Whelbourne moves down the inside. So

:03:15.:03:20.

confident. I is cool. Jack Whelbourne in third place, he needs

:03:21.:03:25.

to get past the Netherlands. Charles Hamelin is in the lead. Jack

:03:26.:03:29.

Whelbourne with the inside pass and he is losing confidence. Down the

:03:30.:03:34.

back straight, and it is Charles Hamelin come to the front. Jack

:03:35.:03:44.

Whelbourne is skating out of his skin here, up to the start of the

:03:45.:03:49.

ultimate loop. Critical to hold position. There goes the bell. It is

:03:50.:04:00.

time. Come on, Jack, you can do it! Charles Hamelin is still leading.

:04:01.:04:04.

They come off the bend. Canada takes it, Great Britain second, history is

:04:05.:04:10.

made, the first time we have had a finalist in the 1500. Make a note of

:04:11.:04:15.

the name, Jack Whelbourne! A superb race, lots of pushing and shoving.

:04:16.:04:23.

Jack is not 100% convinced he has made it, he is still looking

:04:24.:04:28.

around. I think Charles Hamelin is quite clear that he has made it. He

:04:29.:04:35.

skated superbly. Look at this in slow motion, look at the technique

:04:36.:04:41.

here, the Italian in all sorts of trouble. He went down and just about

:04:42.:04:49.

recovered. Alvaro Vazquez through. This is where he might have been

:04:50.:04:54.

worried about it. He pushed Charles Hamelin right out. Not sure how he

:04:55.:05:04.

stayed upright. The clench of the first by Jack Whelbourne. The

:05:05.:05:09.

referees have made their decisions. They are skating across. Jack

:05:10.:05:20.

Whelbourne has made the Olympic 1500 metres final. Eduardo Alvarez has

:05:21.:05:31.

been penalised, Jack Welbourne is through to the medal contest. The

:05:32.:05:41.

British skater. The Russians had Vladimir Putin, we

:05:42.:05:46.

have got Princess Ann, she has just rushed by to support Jack

:05:47.:05:51.

Whelbourne. Let's return out for the B final of this event to the

:05:52.:05:54.

commentary team. This is absolutely compelling

:05:55.:06:05.

stuff, this is the B final, seven in the gold medal rush, these skaters

:06:06.:06:12.

are skating for the A 's position on Word and then they are classified in

:06:13.:06:14.

their Olympic position order. The Frenchman, coming around the

:06:15.:06:41.

outside, taking over the front from the Netherlands. Smart skating from

:06:42.:06:49.

the Koreans, they always wait until the last minute. This race is for

:06:50.:07:05.

eighth place. The Dutchman getting ahead of the contest, right in the

:07:06.:07:13.

pace. Down the inside comes Russia, the Europeans and for this.

:07:14.:07:18.

Immediately, he is denied the sharp end of the contest as the next

:07:19.:07:25.

skater comes to take through. Six laps left to go. The Netherlands in

:07:26.:07:36.

second place. A battle for second place. France are still in first

:07:37.:07:42.

place with five laps to go. France on the front, the Netherlands, then

:07:43.:07:49.

Russia in third place. The pace is really starting to ramp up. This is

:07:50.:07:55.

where mistakes can occur. France trying to come down the inside, a

:07:56.:08:00.

big move down the inside from the world champion. Park Je-Yun from

:08:01.:08:11.

Korea, on the line with two to go. Korea and China coming through on

:08:12.:08:15.

the inside, the door has been closed, it is the Netherlands that

:08:16.:08:20.

is swinging around into the back straight. Here comes the world

:08:21.:08:23.

champion, and coming down the inside and he has gone down, and it is the

:08:24.:08:29.

Netherlands that has crossed the line... Will we be hearing more

:08:30.:08:37.

about this? Letters have a look the Slovo. He was taken down in the 1000

:08:38.:08:47.

metre European file and again now, in this B final. Have a look at what

:08:48.:08:59.

happened? This is that the incident we were referring to, I think it is

:09:00.:09:08.

coming here. With half a lap to go, there it is, goes right the way

:09:09.:09:19.

through, 44... It was 240, look at where the skate is, he took the

:09:20.:09:27.

Dutchman out. There was no room, the problem with this sport is, when

:09:28.:09:31.

something like this happens in the last lap, they will disqualify the

:09:32.:09:34.

Korean skater, but unfortunately, the Dutchman who should have been

:09:35.:09:40.

first, he will end up being last. And then the Frenchman cruised over

:09:41.:09:46.

the line, he would be qualifying as a in the race. And Sebastian Hamlin,

:09:47.:09:57.

he came second in the race. His brother is in the a race. The

:09:58.:10:03.

dynamics of this contest, even when they crossed the line, they have to

:10:04.:10:07.

look at the screen and have a chat about it. What about this final,

:10:08.:10:11.

Jack Whelbourne is an imperious form, skating out of his skin. He

:10:12.:10:16.

has not been phased out all by the reputations of any of the

:10:17.:10:20.

opposition, and that is why he will be skating off for podium position

:10:21.:10:24.

in this contest, and we cannot wait. Let us take at the line-up, he will

:10:25.:10:28.

be fearing them all at this stage of the competition. This is where the

:10:29.:10:32.

big guns come out to play, but Jack Whelbourne has got prodigious

:10:33.:10:36.

talents to get through to this stage. He had to deal with the

:10:37.:10:45.

Chinese, one of them is 17 years of age, Lee Hamed bin of Korea, he is

:10:46.:10:49.

lucky to be here, he is here on an enhancement. The one to watch as to

:10:50.:11:07.

be Russia, Viktor An. History could be made here, they have never won a

:11:08.:11:15.

medal in short track. He has got to be my favourite read this distance,

:11:16.:11:18.

he has been skating incredibly well through this season. I think Jack

:11:19.:11:23.

will be very good, and we can see this again here... This last bend

:11:24.:11:32.

when the Netherlands was taken out. We're still waiting for the official

:11:33.:11:38.

results. A nice gift for the Frenchman! Take another look at

:11:39.:11:45.

this, look at where the right foot goes. There is absolutely no room to

:11:46.:11:54.

go through. And he summed the eyes with his left knee, he might be

:11:55.:11:55.

paying the price for that in this with his left knee, he might be

:11:56.:12:02.

competition. -- and he thumped his left knee on the ice. And this is

:12:03.:12:15.

the confirmation. So, the announcements have been made that

:12:16.:12:22.

the gladiators that will line up next for the 13 and a half laps

:12:23.:12:30.

around the ice rink here. It is very tight here. But what I love about

:12:31.:12:33.

this, you can pass on the inside, but you have got to get around those

:12:34.:12:44.

blocks on the bend. Absolutely. If you are underneath them, you are

:12:45.:12:48.

out. There is no going inside the blocks. I think Jack Whelbourne is

:12:49.:12:53.

an imperious form, the 23-year-old British competitor, a former world

:12:54.:13:04.

junior competitor. Elise Christie will be cheering him on. I was so

:13:05.:13:13.

impressed with her speed, we will be hearing a lot from her when the 500

:13:14.:13:17.

metre competition continues to unfurl on Wednesday. Let's get ready

:13:18.:13:26.

for the introduction is no. It is like two boxers coming in to fight

:13:27.:13:29.

in the ring, they bring them in in the order that they line up.

:13:30.:13:36.

Position one, this will just be introduced now, this is the

:13:37.:13:42.

29-year-old Canadian, here he is, his third Olympics, Charles Hamelin,

:13:43.:13:46.

he races with a lot of facial hair. Eight times the world champion.

:13:47.:13:56.

Position to, that would be Jack Whelbourne. -- position two. He is

:13:57.:14:01.

the former junior world champion for the 1000 metres. Position number

:14:02.:14:07.

three representing the Republic of China, 17 years of age, this fellow.

:14:08.:14:21.

Alongside of him, stand-by for the here, it will resonate around the

:14:22.:14:27.

arena, here he comes, the man that won this title into Reno. -- in

:14:28.:14:42.

Torino. Coming up next, the 23-year-old American, JR Celski, he

:14:43.:14:49.

won the Bronze event in Vancouver. At completing the line-up, position

:14:50.:14:53.

number six from China, an 18-year-old. He is fifth in the

:14:54.:15:00.

World Junior Championships in 2013. These are the six men that have made

:15:01.:15:06.

it through for the first medal contest in the short track

:15:07.:15:12.

disciplines here in Sochi. Now, is it going to be the fourth gold-medal

:15:13.:15:15.

for the Russian? We are away. What is important to

:15:16.:15:50.

remember, seven skaters in this final. You don't want to get stuck

:15:51.:15:55.

at the back. We saw the Koreans had difficulty coming through too late

:15:56.:16:00.

and I think it is important for Jack Welbourne in fourth place at the

:16:01.:16:04.

moment to not get too far behind in this group of seven skaters. Amylin

:16:05.:16:08.

already comes to the head of the contest. The business end of this

:16:09.:16:21.

medal race. -- Hamelin. The Frenchman is down there and the

:16:22.:16:25.

British skater... Not the Frenchman, I should say the British skater,

:16:26.:16:33.

Whelbourne, is in fourth. Victor An And is sitting right behind

:16:34.:16:42.

Whelbourne. And at the moment, Victor An is in sixth place. Jack

:16:43.:16:47.

needs to be careful that he doesn't get stuck at the back. Yeah, Jack

:16:48.:16:52.

Welbourne sees the danger comes down the inside. The holes for the

:16:53.:17:00.

position. It is JR Celski in second spot. Up to the line, with six more

:17:01.:17:07.

lines to go. But the head of the race, we have JR Celski from the

:17:08.:17:13.

USA. Coming through is Charles Hamelin, 29-year-old Canadian. Five

:17:14.:17:18.

to go. Charles Hamelin is looking very comfortable. He is being pushed

:17:19.:17:24.

back third place. And Victor An hasn't made a move whatsoever. He is

:17:25.:17:30.

making a move now. Jack Welbourne has gone down! He has gone down.

:17:31.:17:35.

That was because of the move by Victor An. He has moved up into

:17:36.:17:42.

third. In second position is Han Tianyu from China. Charles Hamelin

:17:43.:17:52.

is turning the screw at the front. Charles Hamelin is at the front,

:17:53.:17:56.

igniting the burners now. The Canadian take said. Victor An Is

:17:57.:18:04.

second and third, Han Tianyu. Or was he second? But Charles Hamelin gets

:18:05.:18:11.

the gold. Brilliant staking dasher skating by Charles Hamelin to win

:18:12.:18:15.

the 1500 metres they are. It's his third gold medal in the Olympics.

:18:16.:18:19.

What a scared that was. He is celebrating already. I would like to

:18:20.:18:23.

see that lunge for the line. I thought maybe Han Tianyu just about

:18:24.:18:32.

got it from Victor An, from Russia. A magnificent race from Charles

:18:33.:18:36.

Hamelin of Canada. He came here to get gold and that is what he got.

:18:37.:18:41.

There he is, the man with three gold medals and with a number of

:18:42.:18:47.

distances still to go. Interesting to see that Jack Welbourne may very

:18:48.:18:51.

well be injured. It was at about three laps to go. You may have been

:18:52.:18:56.

kicked in the shin. A great shame for Jack Welbourne. He was skating

:18:57.:19:01.

so magnificently. The... It was caused by the move of Han Tianyu.

:19:02.:19:06.

It'll be interesting to see that when they play it back. The

:19:07.:19:10.

celebrations are spilling over here for the winner, the great Canadian,

:19:11.:19:15.

Charles Hamelin. What a sensational short track he is. Now then, three

:19:16.:19:21.

gold medals for Charles Hamelin of Canada. There it is. The court JR

:19:22.:19:43.

Celski, I think. -- he caught. Yes, he was third, so the Chinese skater

:19:44.:19:48.

did get second. Charles Hamelin timed his efforts to perfection.

:19:49.:19:53.

Let's bring him over the line and then we will tidy up the Whelbourne

:19:54.:19:58.

incident. There is a victory salute. We need to wait for that official

:19:59.:20:04.

result. I would say Charles Hamelin has spent so much time... There he

:20:05.:20:10.

is, with his girlfriend. She was a bronze medallist in Vancouver. We

:20:11.:20:18.

are just waiting for the official result.

:20:19.:20:27.

Well, the official scoreboard is up. Here is the official result. The

:20:28.:20:35.

Olympic champion is Charles Hamelin. It's his third Olympic gold medal.

:20:36.:20:44.

In second, Han Tianyu. And Victor An from Russia gets bronze. Jack

:20:45.:20:47.

Welbourne didn't finish, unfortunately, due to that incident.

:20:48.:20:51.

What a shame that was. But it was a sensational final. Charles Hamelin,

:20:52.:20:58.

what a skater. The eclipsed -- he could eclipse the record... In fact,

:20:59.:21:06.

he has equalled the other Canadian's record. Three men now

:21:07.:21:13.

have three gold medals and looking at the former Charles Hamelin has

:21:14.:21:16.

got, when you get the 500 metres, which he is probably best outcome he

:21:17.:21:20.

could win that as well. Absolutely. Is interesting is that there was not

:21:21.:21:26.

a Korean skater in the top three at the 1500 metres. Astonishing that,

:21:27.:21:35.

isn't it? There is news coming up to us that Jack Welbourne, as you

:21:36.:21:39.

rightly said, is injured and he has had to go away for medical

:21:40.:21:43.

treatment. Let's hope that his injury is not going to derail his

:21:44.:21:47.

chances in the other events. Remember, there is the 1000 metres

:21:48.:21:51.

and 500 metres still to come. What a sensational final it was. We waited

:21:52.:21:56.

for it and it certainly did give us some fireworks. Sadness for just

:21:57.:22:02.

Whelbourne -- Jack Welbourne. Jubilation for Charles Hamelin, who

:22:03.:22:07.

wins his third Olympic gold medal. Unbelievable action from the

:22:08.:22:08.

Iceberg. Disappointment for Jack Welbourne.

:22:09.:22:18.

We hope he is OK. We hope to speak to him later on. What a great race

:22:19.:22:22.

it was. Princess Anne has been watching that and also his governed.

:22:23.:22:27.

She was in action earlier in the 500 metres. We will catch up with those

:22:28.:22:32.

races later but let's hear more about police. -- Elise.

:22:33.:22:43.

Elise Christie, British short track. To be at the top of your game, you

:22:44.:22:50.

need to sacrifice everything. Just before the race, I sit in the heat

:22:51.:22:56.

box and I think about things that could go wrong and things that could

:22:57.:23:01.

happen. I put a lot of pressure on myself for those things not to

:23:02.:23:05.

happen. I start to become a bit panicky. It is easier to get rid of

:23:06.:23:11.

the pressure and think, you know, I haven't done it before. I've never

:23:12.:23:16.

won an Olympic medal. I've never made an Olympic final. Anything I

:23:17.:23:21.

can do above quarterfinal level is going to be an achievement because

:23:22.:23:24.

it is the first time I will have done it. That is how I am handling

:23:25.:23:28.

it. Everyone is saying that I may medal hope but I could fall over in

:23:29.:23:32.

that first round and that could be my Olympics over. Unfortunately,

:23:33.:23:36.

there is that and not not always the strongest people wing. -- win.

:23:37.:23:44.

Elise Christie playing down her chances but she really is a hope for

:23:45.:23:47.

the medal in the 1000 metres, where she is the European champion. Wang

:23:48.:23:55.

Meng China has broken her child -- ankle, is that increases had

:23:56.:23:56.

chances. -- her chances. Elise Christie is on the outside. He

:23:57.:24:19.

has made that she has made a smart move. A good move in by Christie.

:24:20.:24:26.

She is up to third. Remember, it is the top two that will go through. We

:24:27.:24:32.

are into the last two and a half maps -- laps. The Russian has come

:24:33.:24:38.

straight into the fund. Two laps to go. Christie cannot get through at

:24:39.:24:46.

the moment. At the moment, it is the 16-year-old Russian at the front.

:24:47.:24:52.

Here comes Christie. She has ignited the burners. She will take it on the

:24:53.:24:58.

line. What a cool delivery thereby Elise Christie. She showed the way

:24:59.:25:07.

to the rest. The 16-year-old Russian was second. What an impressive skate

:25:08.:25:13.

by Christie. A superb race by Christie. She didn't panic at all.

:25:14.:25:17.

She drew a live band lane position and to go around the outside, kept

:25:18.:25:24.

her cool, kept her head and managed to come through clearly. Here is the

:25:25.:25:31.

result for you. Her performance director will be absolutely rapt

:25:32.:25:36.

with that. We move onto heat is number three. Right on the inside is

:25:37.:25:45.

a skater from Japan. On the outside, Charlotte Gilmartin.

:25:46.:25:51.

A good start right on the front from the Italian. Look at her speed. She

:25:52.:26:06.

has distanced herself from the rest. The Dutch skater, the European

:26:07.:26:14.

champion is coming through. Good skating. It is still the Italian.

:26:15.:26:30.

Here comes the Dutch skater. Gilmartin, I think of Great Britain

:26:31.:26:35.

with the final lunge to the line, gets second. Let's wait for that to

:26:36.:26:42.

be confirmed. Great Britain with two skaters through to the next round.

:26:43.:26:48.

Superb skating. A flying finish by Gilmartin, coming throughout of the

:26:49.:26:53.

last turn. Of course, we have two rate for the official result. -- to

:26:54.:26:58.

wait. I don't think there was anything untoward, where the

:26:59.:27:02.

referees would decide that they wouldn't make it. A superb piece of

:27:03.:27:07.

skating by Charlotte Gilmartin. It was an incredible injection of pace

:27:08.:27:13.

from the Italian. Right on the far side, Gilmartin, keeping a cool

:27:14.:27:18.

head, and at the right time, although she did collide, she came

:27:19.:27:23.

through. Do you think that will still stand? I do think that will

:27:24.:27:26.

still stand. Escapes there from Charlotte and

:27:27.:27:38.

Elise. I can never get my head around them coming around the

:27:39.:27:41.

corner. You always think they are going to come off the track and they

:27:42.:27:45.

don't. Sometimes they do, and when that happens, you can get lucky!

:27:46.:27:55.

In 1994, in Lillehammer, Steve Bradbury was part of a team which

:27:56.:28:04.

won bronze. It was Australia's first-ever Winter games medal. Here

:28:05.:28:09.

he was in 20-2002, in Salt Lake City, in the short track 1000

:28:10.:28:14.

metres. By his own admission, he was not the fastest skater in the

:28:15.:28:15.

semifinal. It could be any two from these

:28:16.:28:27.

three. He has gone! And what a race! There are only two standing at the

:28:28.:28:33.

end. He was through to the final. His tactics there? Not to lead from

:28:34.:28:40.

the front. Away first time. This, the battle for the medals. Canada

:28:41.:28:47.

lead. Nobody putting in a great injection of pace at the start. He

:28:48.:28:54.

makes a great move. Into second place. China are third, Australia

:28:55.:29:00.

are fifth. China is in second, career third. -- Korea. China are

:29:01.:29:12.

ominously placed. He goes around the outside. Oh, there is a fall! They

:29:13.:29:18.

have all gone! That has left Steven Bradbury to cross the finishing

:29:19.:29:22.

line. The most aiding gold medal of any Olympic Games! And Australia's

:29:23.:29:28.

first-ever gold medal at the Winter Olympics. A reward for being this

:29:29.:29:35.

far back. And willing the entire field to tumble at the last turn.

:29:36.:29:44.

The power of Aus, as in positive thinking. He is still shaking his

:29:45.:29:51.

head. Australia's first medal of these games. He gets generous

:29:52.:29:58.

applause. I wonder if he has bought a lottery ticket!

:29:59.:30:07.

you have to smile when you watch that. If you are a curling fan,

:30:08.:30:14.

today is the big day at the Winter Olympics. Just behind us, the Ice

:30:15.:30:18.

Cube, this is where the curling will be starting today, the British women

:30:19.:30:23.

were up against Sweden, but first, at five o'clock this morning, it was

:30:24.:30:31.

the man up against Russia. This is what happened. We join it in the

:30:32.:30:32.

end, number six. He can afford to get this on the

:30:33.:30:54.

nose or to roll it a little bit. He wants to be sitting first and second

:30:55.:31:02.

shot after this. They are sweeping very hard, it must be getting close

:31:03.:31:09.

to the guard. They tried to hold the line, they did their best. Just

:31:10.:31:21.

about lying shot. Just get past the first, but not the second. Tapped

:31:22.:31:28.

back against their own stone, so this lying shot, and it is shaping

:31:29.:31:38.

up well for Britain. You might miss this, if you lock it, it is good.

:31:39.:31:44.

They can make fat, then we have a /43. You can see half of the red

:31:45.:31:54.

stone when you get to the other end, and they will try to pick the stone

:31:55.:32:00.

out. They do not want to live. It seems like a special shot that they

:32:01.:32:12.

have got. He could potentially play straight down here and hit the

:32:13.:32:19.

yellow on the nose and lie six, two, three, four, lie five. They have

:32:20.:32:31.

decided for the easier shot here. Just has too get it anywhere. Always

:32:32.:32:39.

good to hear the boys calling. Well played. He has been on top form,

:32:40.:32:48.

David Murdoch, on this first match. This is shaping up well here.

:32:49.:32:58.

Now, he might hit that, maybe try and get on the first stone. This

:32:59.:33:11.

potentially looks like the guys are asking for him to draw, sit right on

:33:12.:33:16.

the face of that yellow sitting on the blue four foot. They do not

:33:17.:33:26.

necessarily need to... They want to just come in and sit right here, try

:33:27.:33:36.

to make it much harder for David to get a big end here.

:33:37.:33:50.

Once again, he's being asked to come up with the shot for his team. They

:33:51.:33:55.

are in a bit of bother here. He is asking them to sweep this

:33:56.:34:14.

early. And they are working very hard on this. Has this got a knock

:34:15.:34:22.

on it? They will have to work hard to get it past the first stone and

:34:23.:34:34.

they are doing well. That is actually a well drawn shot.

:34:35.:34:48.

But I think it should be a pretty simple and straightforward shot for

:34:49.:34:55.

David Murdoch to hit his yellow right onto the back, onto the top of

:34:56.:35:04.

the red. He can see all of his yellow shots there. This is

:35:05.:35:11.

potentially a match-winning end here for Great Britain.

:35:12.:35:25.

Yes, the Russian shot, it was overdrawn on the mark. You can hear

:35:26.:35:34.

the instructions. That was nearly five, but it is going to be four.

:35:35.:35:48.

Well executed and from Team GB. That has made things very difficult for

:35:49.:35:52.

the Russians, that is a 6-1 lead for Great Britain, four in that end.

:35:53.:35:57.

Excellent from the British team, especially David Murdoch playing

:35:58.:36:04.

well. Could not be going any better. That proved to be the crucial end of

:36:05.:36:08.

that match with Britain going on to win 7-4, and they play Sweden live

:36:09.:36:14.

at 3pm. The women are in action shortly, but first, we can hear from

:36:15.:36:20.

Jack Whelbourne who has made the final of the 1500 metres, he has

:36:21.:36:23.

been to the medical team after falling, but then he's speaking to

:36:24.:36:25.

Ollie Williams. He written in thing badly, tell us

:36:26.:36:36.

what happens. -- you are limping badly. I fell over, twisted my ankle

:36:37.:36:44.

and a bit, I hit the blade, it is very sore, but hopefully I will come

:36:45.:36:50.

back and do the other distances. Do you think you will be OK for it? I

:36:51.:36:57.

will definitely be OK, I have two Olympic distances, I will give it my

:36:58.:37:01.

best go. That is the best I have raced, some of those guys that we

:37:02.:37:05.

had to go through to get to the final, they are some of the guys

:37:06.:37:09.

that could have been on the podium right now, but maybe I could have

:37:10.:37:13.

been on the podium if I had not fallen away a little bit, but I came

:37:14.:37:18.

out here trying to get to an A final, and I have done that, so I am

:37:19.:37:25.

pleased. The black blockers underfoot, you twist your ankle, and

:37:26.:37:29.

they say anything happen, and it did, didn't it. -- anything can

:37:30.:37:37.

happen. Yes, with the final, anything can happen, we keep saying

:37:38.:37:41.

it, but you can run it again, and I think there would be a different

:37:42.:37:46.

result, I am pretty sure, so I am not unhappy, and if anything, I got

:37:47.:37:51.

a win under my belt, and going into that final, I was ranked 26 in the

:37:52.:37:58.

world, so, there you go. Your girlfriend, Elise Christie, looked

:37:59.:38:03.

in great form today, happy for her? Yes, absolutely, everybody that

:38:04.:38:07.

skated to date, they did their very best, but we are very happy, and

:38:08.:38:13.

that is definitely a move forward for GB short track, Tivoli they can

:38:14.:38:18.

do just as well. We hope that your ankle heals up quickly, well done.

:38:19.:38:26.

Thank you. Keep supporting! 158! We will return now for the curling, Eve

:38:27.:38:32.

Muirhead is in action, great hopes for a medal for them, they are up

:38:33.:38:38.

against Sweden, the double Olympic champion, we join it in the final

:38:39.:38:42.

stages, Jackie Lockhart and Steve Cram your commentators.

:38:43.:38:49.

This is where Eve Muirhead needs to be decisive, she

:38:50.:38:51.

This is where Eve Muirhead needs to be decisive, needs to be sure of

:38:52.:38:53.

this shot that she chooses. I think we have decided on a high

:38:54.:39:06.

guard. They have been given an

:39:07.:39:24.

opportunity, at Eve Muirhead needs to grasp it, and she has not studied

:39:25.:39:32.

in the match so far. -- not done it in the match. She seems happy with

:39:33.:39:38.

where this is going. You and I are sitting almost right

:39:39.:39:55.

behind these stones looking down on the sheet, and we're talking about

:39:56.:40:06.

how they seem to be drawing a bit better with the take-out. What shot

:40:07.:40:15.

would you want with her? 88% on drawers, 73% on the take-out one of

:40:16.:40:24.

these centre guards of if she is to open up. I would personally,

:40:25.:40:28.

probably, be driving the shot we see here on the left. She has too

:40:29.:40:39.

remembered that she has got the last stone, so she needs to make sure

:40:40.:40:47.

that she can see the four foot. That one that she is looking at in the

:40:48.:40:51.

front, just left of the center line as we look at it, to drive that back

:40:52.:40:55.

into the centre two, or at least one of them, hopefully two. Well, from

:40:56.:41:09.

their point of view. A fair bit of distance between those two stones.

:41:10.:41:16.

Yes, but she has two make sure that she clears it, anyway, to give a

:41:17.:41:22.

view of the four foot and try to replace it.

:41:23.:41:41.

Partial success. Yes, she has opened up four foot there.

:41:42.:41:55.

They had to hold onto that one well. Eve Muirhead just wanting to... She

:41:56.:42:12.

will block her way in here. Yes, guard that shot, possibly setting on

:42:13.:42:23.

the 12 foot. Just and is indicating. -- just where Anna is indicating.

:42:24.:42:30.

Another crucial shot, I knew I would be saying this quite a lot! And how

:42:31.:42:39.

that end has changed, Sweden had two really bad shots and it completely

:42:40.:42:44.

flipped earlier on in the end. Eve Muirhead's shoulders were down, now

:42:45.:42:51.

this is her opportunity here. She was thinking about the previous

:42:52.:42:55.

end, then all of a sudden the door opened and she was on it. Where is

:42:56.:42:59.

this one going? They want to start turning it in. They need to move as

:43:00.:43:15.

far as they can. Again, she's not with that. She has left a bit of a

:43:16.:43:23.

shot for Maria to see. But even if she has guarded that, she still left

:43:24.:43:33.

a shot for Maria to draw to the four foot. This probably isn't a bad

:43:34.:43:43.

shot. She still has a chance to draw into the next end. If she doesn't

:43:44.:43:46.

get this right, she can still get the steel. -- steal.

:43:47.:44:08.

You see, I am learning. A pat on the belly from the weight. Half weight

:44:09.:44:16.

there. Successful. Mission accomplished, I

:44:17.:44:43.

guess, in just one shot. 6-4 to Sweden a lens. The Hammer transfers

:44:44.:44:49.

to Great Britain. They are still in this, they have to finish this game

:44:50.:44:52.

off really well. It has been topsy-turvy, up and down and they

:44:53.:44:57.

need to come up with the big shot in this final end and maybe hope that

:44:58.:45:01.

this little mistake from Sweden as well, who knows...

:45:02.:45:18.

We always thought these games would be close between Britain and Sweden,

:45:19.:45:24.

even when the one or other of the teams are not playing well. They

:45:25.:45:29.

still have the opportunity to make the big shots. They have the players

:45:30.:45:34.

to do that. This one has not quite gone Britain's way but they are

:45:35.:45:37.

still in it. You could argue we didn't play well and we were right

:45:38.:45:43.

all the end. I was going to say that neither team has been dominant but

:45:44.:45:46.

they are still in the game and that is what you have to remember. They

:45:47.:45:51.

are going to go back after this game and analyse how they played, and how

:45:52.:45:54.

the strategy went. They will learn from it and move on, win or lose. I

:45:55.:46:05.

don't think she particularly likes that first stone. She was shaking

:46:06.:46:11.

her head. I'm not sure why. They don't want this to be short. They

:46:12.:46:22.

wanted to be in the house. Even your house needs to put up some

:46:23.:46:26.

protection on the signs if she wants to pick up a two here. Once again,

:46:27.:46:38.

Claire Hamilton played a storming first game here. She's sitting on

:46:39.:46:47.

89%. I think are parents will be sitting at home watching this,

:46:48.:46:50.

butterflies in their stomach. They don't come out until Wednesday.

:46:51.:46:59.

Hello, mum and dad Hamilton! There may be a few mums and dads

:47:00.:47:03.

supporting the Russian team as well. A lot of noise. It is very tight in

:47:04.:47:08.

the game between Russia and Denmark. Very tight indeed, sitting 4-4 at

:47:09.:47:13.

the moment. The shot of Margarita didn't quite

:47:14.:47:44.

find the line this time. Eve will ignore these two reds at the top of

:47:45.:47:45.

the house and draw in behind her. Get one in behind that guard and

:47:46.:48:03.

that should start the end of, for you to go down the end to get a two.

:48:04.:48:22.

Claire Hamilton has done really well. Yes, she has. Great management

:48:23.:48:29.

of her shots and histones. She controls at where it's going to go.

:48:30.:48:36.

She's had a good, strong start to this competition. Are they going to

:48:37.:48:49.

remove that front guard? Yes. That is the one shot that could cost them

:48:50.:48:52.

the two, corner guard. Unusually, playing across the face

:48:53.:49:19.

of that, to take the guard out there. I think that is what she

:49:20.:49:29.

asked for but it came across, moved their own stone towards the back of

:49:30.:49:31.

the house as well. Vicki Adams, has just been asked to

:49:32.:49:51.

play a frieze here, sitting on the edge of the red at the back of the

:49:52.:49:57.

house. She has spun it just a little bit fast. Oh, unfortunate.

:49:58.:50:03.

She has had two of them now. Early on, one went through as well. That's

:50:04.:50:15.

unfortunate. We really needed... Even short would have been good

:50:16.:50:16.

there. Her sister will be at home watching

:50:17.:50:35.

this, probably with butterflies in her stomach. I hope you are OK,

:50:36.:50:45.

Kaye. Your sister has gone a long way. This game was always going to

:50:46.:50:51.

go one way or the other. The same shot again. Yes. It's definitely

:50:52.:50:58.

possible. I think that's probably the best shot. You could get a

:50:59.:51:03.

mistake out of Sweden if you can place one right on top of that red.

:51:04.:51:07.

They then try and hit it out, and jam, and then you can go for a shot

:51:08.:51:15.

on the other side of the house. She has just played the shot before and

:51:16.:51:19.

knows the mistake she has made. She should be able to correct that. She

:51:20.:51:23.

was still looking a little anxiously at it. They are having to work this

:51:24.:51:27.

hard to get it there this time. It's looking OK.

:51:28.:51:38.

She probably overcompensated a little bit. Just a little bit. I

:51:39.:51:50.

guess if that had been her first shot, you would have been reasonably

:51:51.:51:54.

happy with it. But she needed to sit right on top of that red shop there.

:51:55.:51:58.

-- shot. Again, it is still sitting there.

:51:59.:52:04.

All we need is one frieze. She is just talking herself through

:52:05.:52:33.

what she wants to do. Just make the line good.

:52:34.:52:48.

We really need this to be round, behind the guard. Eve is trying to

:52:49.:52:57.

encourage them to sweep this in. It's going to get past it,

:52:58.:53:35.

they've got. Christina Bertrup, she will be hoping to play some better

:53:36.:53:42.

hots -- shots in her last end here. I think the problem is it has ended

:53:43.:53:47.

up being a very straightforward and for Sweden. We've not been able to

:53:48.:53:52.

put the stones where we want. Stone placement is key at this level of

:53:53.:53:55.

the game. However, we still have our chances. We still need to get one

:53:56.:54:00.

around, buried. They make one mistake, give us the opportunity to

:54:01.:54:07.

try to capitalise and get two here. They've got to get in here and make

:54:08.:54:09.

sure this counts. They are trying to pull it in. This

:54:10.:54:33.

has not got the line. It is not hidden. That is unfortunate, that

:54:34.:54:38.

one. It has not given Eve a lot to work

:54:39.:54:48.

with, has it? This should have been straightforward.

:54:49.:54:58.

It's probably half covered from the other end, when Maria Prytz looks

:54:59.:55:01.

down the ice. She is just happy with a chip. That

:55:02.:55:19.

will be find more cash for Maria. -- that will be fine for Maria.

:55:20.:55:34.

A steadying hand going up from the skipper, saying this looks OK. And

:55:35.:55:38.

it is. That's a shot that a skipper often

:55:39.:55:56.

has to pull out of the back pocket. A nice draw, right behind, onto the

:55:57.:55:58.

one foot. Not looking so good for Great

:55:59.:56:22.

Britain here. They are still two behind. The last two stones. I am

:56:23.:56:33.

not sure she took a knife ice there. Maybe it is just how she is laying

:56:34.:56:37.

these shots. Eve turned her back on it right away. It just started going

:56:38.:56:49.

right from when it's left her hand. That is unfortunate. And because we

:56:50.:56:56.

are sitting right behind it, we could see that.

:56:57.:57:08.

Do you ever feel like the game is just not for you? The both of us

:57:09.:57:14.

have said, if you are going to have a bad game, put all your bad shots

:57:15.:57:18.

in one game. Get it all done with, dealt with. The important thing is

:57:19.:57:22.

not to dwell on it, not to look back on it too much. I know you said they

:57:23.:57:27.

will analysed. But we almost want to say, let's put this to bed and

:57:28.:57:29.

forget about it. There was a period in the middle,

:57:30.:57:50.

where things went Britain's way. And there is a handshake. So, Sweden and

:57:51.:57:58.

are victorious. -- end up victorious.

:57:59.:58:05.

These fountains are pretty good. Disappointment therefore Eve

:58:06.:58:11.

Muirhead. She is back in action tomorrow against the USA. There were

:58:12.:58:16.

celebrations earlier on, when Britain had their first finalist in

:58:17.:58:21.

this short scat -- short track speed skating. Jack Welbourne came through

:58:22.:58:24.

and it was an outstanding performance by the young man. It

:58:25.:58:28.

ended up in disappointment with a fall and a slight injury but he

:58:29.:58:31.

spoke to us afterwards. We hope he will be fine to compete in the rest

:58:32.:58:35.

of the competition come during the course of the next 1450 days or so.

:58:36.:58:43.

We are back on air on BBC Two very shortly, when we will be watching

:58:44.:58:47.

the men up against Sweden. That is in the curling. Hopefully they can

:58:48.:58:51.

do well against one of their main challengers for a medal. For now,

:58:52.:58:53.

goodbye.
