well done Lizzie Yarnold if she does as well tomorrow its hers for the taking
Didn't see the women's game live, but caught the last two ends on the replay. So, although the result was already in, it was still nerve wracking stuff when you don't know what the result was.
On to the men's now!

Watching the men`s match now.
It was very tight, 7 all going into the last end. We had the hammer though and were able to make it pay and won the match 8-7,
So 2 wins and 2 losses in four matches. Leaves us equal 5th at the moment. We need to be in the top 4 to get into the next stage. 5 matches still to play in this Round-Robin stage.
The men are 3-1 up (in matches) and lying third (on the table). The current match is their 5th and they're leading 3-0 after 3 ends....and looking good for winning the 4th!
But USA (having the hammer) just managed to scrape a 1 shot win, 3-1 GB.
America may have the strategy, but their execution (or lack of) is letting them down badly!
Two stones to go and GB are lying with 4, but USA have the hammer, so GB probably wom't have 4 in the end.....it's only 2 now.
Last GB stone and it's 4 again!
Last USA stone and they manage to steel the end by one shot. 5 - 3 GB....and we have the hammer in this last end!
Well, an easy win for GB there. They didn't even finish the last end as it got to the point where USA could only have got 1 shot at best and as they were 2 shots adrift there was no way they could win or force an 11th end.
Watching the mem's ice skating. Ome guy's retired after falling twice in practice and most of the rest are falling during their performances!
Is it tomorrow that Torvill and Dean recreate the Bolero? if so what time ,cheers in advance.

Cheers ,must go and find it .
Hmmm....I think it might just have been a rehearsal and the official performance will be tomorrow, but I can't find a time....or confirmation.

Torvill and Dean recreate 'Bolero' in Sarajevo 30 years on

Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean have celebrated the 30th anniversary of their historic Olympic gold medal with an emotional performance of their legendary Bolero routine in front of 5,000 adoring spectators in Sarajevo.
The ice dancing legends arrived in the Bosnian capital this week in order to mark their record-breaking feat three decades on.
The pair performed the routine which won them gold on St Valentine's Day 1984 on Thursday, the eve of the anniversary, in front of a sold-out Olympic Hall Juan Antonio Samaranch, the scene of their greatest triumph.
"It was emotional but very uplifting," said Torvill.
The pair performed their routine flawlessly for a delighted audience in the Bosnian capital, resplendent in modernised versions of their famous purple outfits from 1984.
As the routine ended the crowd unanimously rose to their feet in applause, holding aloft cards bearing the perfect mark of '6.0' in recognition of their Olympic achievement.
Torvill and Dean made history in 1984 when their gold medal success saw them earn full marks from all nine judges, a feat never achieved either before or since, three decades on.
The duo were invited back to the city by the mayors of Sarajevo and East Sarajevo and will perform Bolero on the exact site of their triumph 30 years ago.
The Olympic Hall Zetra was destroyed in the Bosnian War but rebuilt in 1999 and renamed Olympic Hall Juan Antonio Samaranch in honour of the former International Olympic Committee president.
The performance also acts as the launch of a campaign to build a permanent ice rink in the city ahead of the 2017 European Youth Winter Olympic Festival.
Visibly choked when meeting media in the city on Thursday, Dean said:
"Today we had a very emotional moment when we met the flower girl who was picking up the flowers from the ice just before we were going out to skate 30 years ago.
"To personally hear her story really brought it home for us."
I am not sure it was actually shown TBH - will keep a look out for a vid on it
The only thing I could find was an article alluding to a live RADIO commentary.

Denmark burn the first end and take 2 from the second end, but we now have the hammer for the third end.
Two stones each played and Denmark are lying one and are trying to close GB out.
Four stones to go and it's now lying one to GB
4th last - 2 to Denmark
3rd last - 1 to GB
2nd last - 2 to Denmark
Last stone - Denmark steal one against the hammer.
However GB retain the hammer for the 4th end - and it's ony 0-3.
An untidy end and GB ony win it by 1 shot.
3-1 Denmark
Looking like Denmark are going to take 2 from this 5th end and go into the break 5-1....and they do!
6th end - Denmark fall and burn a stone and GB are gifted with 3.
5-4 Denmark.
7th end, Denmark have the hammer, but I think GB have the upper-hand!
4 stones played each and GB are lying 3.
Two more stones down and GB are still lying 3.
