Nerveless Eve Muirhead produced a brilliant comeback to secure her place in the women's curling final with a win over Sweden, guaranteeing Team GB's second medal at the Winter Olympics.
Muirhead and her rink, Vicky Wright, Jennifer Dodds and Hailey Duff, were looking for revenge against defending Olympic champion Anna Hasselborg, who beat Team GB in the semi-finals four years ago.
She had won their round robin game in Beijing but the match started with the Swedes seizing four in the very first end.
But Muirhead and team have shown amazing resilience throughout this tournament, edging their way in the semi-finals by the barest of margins and never being more dangerous than when in a tight spot.
They mounted a determined comeback and a brilliant take out in the penultimate end gave them a three point advantage heading into the tenth.
However, a precision shot by Hasselborg forced an extra end, which Muirhead and rink bossed, securing the 12-11 win with a stone to spare.
Muirhead had lost her two previous Olympic semi-finals and the victory secures a British team in the women's final for the first time since Rhona Martin's famous Stone of Destiny triumph 20 years ago.
And she urged the British nation to set their alarms for her first final with the first stone being thrown at 1.05am back in the UK.
"I’m buzzing to know people are going to be up watching us and that gives us an extra boost to make everyone proud back," said Muirhead, 31.

"I remember 20 years ago staying up to watch Rhona win that medal. You dream of doing the same and I know the other girls here did exactly that, let’s hope we have the whole of Britain behind us again.
"I’m not sure it’s really sunk in just yet but I’ve got every gold medal, apart from the Olympic one. Of course, there have been times when you doubt whether you’ll get the chance but here we are.
"We fought for our spots here, we showed we’ve got so much talent as a team, we’ve got so much drive and fight, it’s an absolute dream come true.
"The strength of the field here is incredible, I remember looking at the draw and you couldn't tick anyone off, it was scary.
"We've proven we can be the best team in the world and now we get the chance to play for that Olympic gold medal."
