Brilliant Bruce Mouat kept his cool once again to see off the Russian Olympic Committee 8-6 and put his men's curling rink on the verge of topping the round robin stage.
A win against Canada on Thursday would secure the vital final stone in the semi-final later that day but their female counterparts suffered a blow as Team Muirhead went down to hosts China, losing control of their own destiny.
Here's what happened on Day 12.
Team Mouat continue supreme round robin progress
Team Muirhead slip up but hang on to semi hopes
Dave ready to keep Ryding after slalom showing
Clugnet and Young team up but miss out on sprint final
Day 13: Mouat's semi and time for halfpipe
MAGIC MOUAT SWEEPS ALL BEFORE HIM
Bruce Mouat's men's curling rink marched on towards topping the round robin standings with an 8-6 triumph over the ROC.

Team Mouat will secure the hammer in tomorrow's semi-final if they beat Canada but are not getting too far in front of themselves ahead of a medal match.
Mouat revealed Team GB sports psychologists helped him park the disappointment of losing the bronze medal in the mixed doubles with Jen Dodds, before unleashing hell on the ice for the other men's teams.

MUIRHEAD MUST RELY ON OTHER RESULTS
Eve Muirhead was left cursing the curling Gods and searching for her calculator as her Olympic ambitions teetered in Beijing.
The European champion and her rink slipped to a narrow 8-4 defeat to China in another game that went to the wire.
They could still advance but need to beat ROC in their final match and hope other games go their way, with Switzerland beating Japan and Korea losing one of their two remaining games.

SUPER DAVE TO KEEP RYDING THE WAVE
Dave Ryding fell short of his Olympic ambitions at the fourth attempt but confirmed he’ll ride on at the top of alpine skiing for at least another year.
The 35-year-old was left to rue a first-run mistake for finishing 13th in the slalom in Beijing, 0.78 seconds shy of the medal he coveted.
But Ryding, who became the first Brit to strike World Cup gold at Kitzbühel last month, harbours no regrets and after getting married in May will crack on with summer training before next season.

CLUGNET AND YOUNG OFF THE PACE IN TEAM SPRINT
Team GB's cross country skiers James Clugnet and Andrew Young were unable to keep pace in the team sprint, finishing tenth in their semi-final and missing out on the final.
An unfortunate incident led to Clugnet breaking a pole and with Young still feeling the after effects of Covid, the British pair were unable to qualify.

DAY 13: HELLO HALFPIPE AND SEMI-FINAL TIME
Bruce Mouat will lead his men's curling rink into their semi-final on Thursday as they go for gold in Beijing.
Team Mouat may even have the advantage of the hammer if they beat Canada in their last round robin match earlier on Day 13 but will be confident of securing a medal with a win after six consecutive round robin triumphs.
Smiling into the semis 😀@TeamMouat have now won 5 on the spin in the round robin.

Team Muirhead also need to win against the ROC and keep their fingers crossed that other results go their way if they are to join their male counterparts in the top four and bag a medal shot.
The long wait to compete is over for freestyle skiers Gus Kenworthy and Zoe Atkin as the halfpipe competitions finally get underway.
Kenworthy won silver when competing for the USA in slopestyle at Sochi 2014 and is dedicating his appearance at this Games to his British mum.
While fans did not get to see 2018 slopestyle bronze medallist Izzy Atkin in action in China after she failed to recover from a broken pelvis in time to compete, they will be treated to a dazzling display from younger sister Zoe.
Zoe, 19, won bronze at the 2021 Freestyle Ski and Snowboard World Championships and will be making her Olympic debut.
