After the Team GB women’s curling rink secured bronze today, tomorrow is the turn of the men as they face Canada in the gold medal match. Team GB will have six athletes in action in total with Elise Christie and Jon Eley taking to the ice in the last short track speed skating session.
CURLING, GOLD MEDAL MATCH Ice Cube Curling Centre Team GB men v Canada 17.30-20.55 (local) 13.30-16.55 (UK)
Exactly 12 years to the day that Rhona Howie won Britain’s last curling gold medal at the Olympics, Team GB men’s skip David Murdoch will look to follow suit.
His rink of Olympic newcomers Greg Drummond, Scott Andrews and Michael Goodfellow face Canada, who have lost just twice in the tournament.
Canadian skip Brad Jacobs inflicted a 7-5 defeat on the men in the round-robin stage in which Murdoch was forced to play a double takeout with his last stone and missed by a matter of millimetres.
