With that all sorted, time for me to say goodbye. Another fantastic night session - we’re been spoiled so far this week. To catch up on the day that was, take a look at the Daily Briefing and sign up for it to be emailed to you each afternoon of these Beijing Games. Bye!
Curling: Handy penultimate stone from ROC, putting them into two shots. But still, so much space for John Schuster. But instead, he drives hard and straight to knock both of those aforementioned shots away. Played. Sergei Glukhov buys some time to stop the clock but it’s far from the perfect stone, just clipping the edge of the four foot ring. So, over to Schuster with loads of space and he makes no mistake, right alongside the button it lands. USA, the defending champions, win their tournament opener 6-5 after an extra end.
