Magical Eve Muirhead issues stirring Olympic rallying cry after completing Miri-curl on Beijing ice

Eve Muirhead urged the nation to set their alarms as she booked her place in the Olympic curling final with a victory even her coach admitted defied the odds, a true Miri-curl on Ice.

It's two decades since 5.6 million viewers stayed up past midnight to watch Rhona Martin deliver her 'Stone of Destiny' to claim curling gold in Salt Lake City.

Muirhead's final with Japan - a revenge match after a last-ditch defeat in the bronze medal game four years ago - will start at 1am. So, perhaps, just don't bother going to bed.
