And that is me done for the night as another day ends at the Games. But what a day! What a lovely day! Team GB’s greatest ever in the history of the Winter Olympics. A mixed bag but not in the usual sense as Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale won the mixed snowboard cross then Matt Weston and Tabby Stoecker followed suit in the mixed skeleton relay. Team GB’s gold tally sits at a wondrous three now. Buona notte!

Curling: So at 5-5 in this men’s round robin match between GB and Switzerland we are down to the final three stones each. The house looks very light as another two go by. It is anyone’s game. Switzerland lie with one. GB pop one in the house behind their blocker. I can’t see what the plan is but that is hardly surprising.
The Swiss unleash a bomb with their penultimate go but it bumps GB’s blocker into that one they just threw leaving the blocker in the house. The final shots on the way. Team GB will look to nudge the Swiss stone out while rolling across behind the red stone at the top of the house to lie one. Mouat lets fly but doesn’t get the roll. They are lying one though after knocking the Swiss out. The final yellow is on it’s way. And it is a perfect shot. Switzerland beat Team GB 6-5.
What a battle that was. The Swiss remain unbeaten at 5 wins and no losses while Team GB pick up a second loss with four wins and two defeats. Next up for Team GB is Norway tomorrow at lunchtime.
