And we have a United States comeback!

They picked up three in the fifth end to draw themselves level at 4-4 with Great Britain.

It's going to be a big sixth end for Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds.

The measuring stick is back out!

I'm reliably informed it's called a micrometre but you know what I mean ...

Before arriving at his second Winter Olympics, Team GB curler Bruce Mouat spoke to BBC Sport about his LGBTQ journey in elite sport.

I've taken a trip this afternoon to one of the hubs of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Cultural Olympiad, an arts programme which runs alongside the Games.

The MEET Digital Culture Center in the middle of Milan last week hosted the Visioni D'Alta Quota, which saw young Italian creatives reinterpreting Lombardy's sporting heritage into contemporary video art.

And throughout the remainder of these Games, MEET will host the 2026 Pride House - a series of events to shine a spotlight on sports and LGBTQIA+ rights.

Bruce Mouat - currently helping GB storm the mixed curling competition - is an official Pride House ambassador at Milan-Cortina 2026.

Don't forget that Great Britain's match against the United States is currently live on BBC Two.

Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds have just started their fifth end and are leading 4-1.

Previously what we have seen is Jen Dodds playing the big shot to get the scores, but Bruce Mouat is helping here and his performance is really coming on.

I would say Team GB have controlled the ice, they are managing the weight and managing the stones.

So that's the first qualifying run done in the men's freeski slopestyle.

No one was able to better the 81.75 score that Norway's Ruud Birk set down in the very first run of the afternoon.

Team GB rider Chris McCormick's 33.90 left him 21st but he'll get another go shortly, with only the best run counting.

Only the top 12 go through and that 12th space is currently occupied by Frenchman Matias Roche on 54.50.

The halfway perspective for Team GB is looking good. They have controlled this from the off.

What's happened so far on day one?

• Switzerland's Franjo von Allmen wins first gold of Games in men's downhill
• Swedish one-two in women's skiathlon, with Frida Karlsson claiming gold
• Team GB's Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds beat Canada to maintain 100% mixed curling record
• Mouat and Dodds currently facing USA, who are also unbeaten
• GB medal hope Kirsty Muir through to Monday's freeski slopestyle final
• USA skier Lindsey Vonn completes second practice despite saying her ACL is "100% gone"

What's to come on day one?

There are three more gold medals to be won on the first official day in Italy:

• 15:00-16:00 - Women's 3,000m speed skating - Dutch world champion Joy Beune among favourites following snub for 1500m event
• 17:45-20:00 - Women's ski jumping - normal hill - Slovenia's Nika Prevc is favourite and vying to become youngest woman to win an Olympic ski jumping title
• 18:30-20:30 - Men's snowboard - big air - four Japanese riders in final 12 with Hiroto Ogiwara finishing top in qualifying

Looks like that chat worked well as Great Britain lead at the half-way point 4-1.

Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodd had a good discussion about what to do with their next stone with Great Britain's national coach before taking their next shot.

Really interesting to hear how they analyse their next move!

You know that Team GB are doing well because some of the American support have certainly gone a bit quiet.

Jen Dodds is getting her first throw in a really prime position, so far.

I thought the Winter Olympics opening ceremony festivities were over but clearly not in Livigno.

We've been treated to this musical parade with teddies in hot air balloons making their way through the streets of the ski resort to the bemusement of locals.

United States have been given one, but they still trail Great Britain 3-1.

Into the fourth end we go.

This measuring stick caper is great fun...

Korey Dropkin demands a recount but the official sticks with his initial verdict.

We have a slight pause in play here as they measure the proximity of the stones.

It's close.

The Cortina Curling Stadium is a curious wee place.

Originally built to host the 1956 Games, much of the original structure has been preserved, with wooden bleachers around the sides of the arena. It looks magnificent.

But whose names might appear on a plaque outside like this one after these Games?

Jen Dodds and Bruce Mouat's performance has gone straight up. Bruce this morning had 85% [accuracy] against Canada.

He is getting better and better. He has so much more confidence, and it is great to see.

Chris McCormick gets off to a stellar start on the first rail section, but he comes off the rainbow rail early and then comes up short on the next jump.

He gets a score of 33.90 which leaves him outside of the top 12.
