    That's all the GB interest in the curling for today - with two excellent wins to celebrate.

    Six of those from the nine matches should be enough to clinch a semi-final place in both the women's and men's events - the men have three and the women one so far with four and three games played respectively.

    The men will face Germany (08:05 GMT) and Switzerland (18:05) on Sunday, while the women will look to continue their unlikely revival against another fancied rink, Sweden (13:05).

    Third win for Bruce Mouat and his team. A match that they fully expected to win and they have delivered in a style that they are finding their form. The blip against Italy is completely forgotten.

    Czech Republic did well to keep going into the final end but GB were just too good for them.

    Another block of ice hockey matches are just getting under way in Milan.

    Reigning men's Olympic champions Finland are taking on Italy in their final Group B match.

    In the women's, Canada face Germany in the quarter-finals.

    It's never really been in doubt since the third end, when Team GB went 4-1, but the Czechs have kept Bruce Mouat's rink honest and made them work for their victory.

    That's three wins from four, and an excellent way to bounce back from Friday's loss against Italy.

    The best way for Czech Republic to get three is by using GB's stones. Similar to the last end - attacking GB's stones to the end of the back and they need to do the same here.

    Come up, freeze on them or place small bumps - just have something that GB could potentially jam on.

    Tensions rise in the curling after Sweden accuse Canada of double-tapping their stones

    The fallout from the curling row between Canada and Sweden continues.

    If you missed it: Sweden accused Canada of 'double-touching' during last night's round robin match - releasing the handle at the appropriate time but then giving the stone another little prod with his finger to correct its course.

    Canada's Marc Kennedy and Sweden's Oskar Eriksson got into an argument, featuring swearing, which was broadcast on the television feed.

    The International Olympic Committee said earlier today that Canada's 8-6 win will stand, while governing body World Curling says it will monitor for rule violations for the rest of the Games.

    Now Nolan Thiessen, Curling Canada's chief executive, has been asked if there was a rule infraction.

    “I find it interesting," Thiessen said. "There's a ton of debate, to your point, of whether it was or wasn't, and everybody has an opinion. At the end of the day, that's the officials' job.

    “It's strange because we don't have that culture of officials on the ice making subjective calls."

    Thiessen added that Kennedy's row with Eriksson has got people talking, saying: “I've got friends from back home who aren't huge curling fans. They're like, 'What's going on?' I got my daughter texting me, going: 'Marc's getting spicy out there.’

    "But at the end of the day, it shines a little extra light on the sport. Sometimes that's not a bad thing."

    It's very hard for Czech to get back into this.

    The GB boys just need to keep their focus. One last end, make their shots well, try not to complicate things and keep things simple.

    Lukas Klima dips back into his box of tricks and pulls out another belter... it limits Team GB to one, but they still lead by three with one to play.

    There was a moment of controversy during the earlier game at Santagiulia between Sweden and Slovakia.

    Slovakia were denied a goal by millimetres, with the puck clawed back from right on the line.

    The Slovaks eventually got the result they needed to stand in a good position of reaching the quarter-finals, despite defeat.

    Imagine the controversy if this was the decisive factor!

    Sweden went on to win 5-3 while Latvia beat Germany 4-3 in the other lunchtime men's group match.

    Canada start slowly but pick up speed on every lap. With a big sprint, which they open up from the final corner, they take top spot! What an effort!

    Canada will face USA in the semi-finals while Japan will take on world champions Netherlands. Those races will take place on Tuesday.

    Final standings

    1. Canada - 2:55.02

    Canada have a slightly unusual set up, given their front rider Isabelle Weidemann is six foot two.

    The clink of granite doesn't quite come off as Bruce Mouat makes a double takeout attempt. That gives Lukas Klima the chance to take two and he gladly does to give the Czechs a lifeline with two ends to play.

    USA and Germany currently occupy the other two spots but reigning Olympic champions Canada will surely knock Germany out of the top four. But what can Belgium do?

    1. Japan - 2:55.52

    Members of Speed Skating teams often place their hand on the rider in front of them...

    It has only been since 2018 or 2022. Norway started [the trend] pushing skaters from behind. You generally find the skater at the back is pushing the 'train' going forward.

    This is the new faster, and efficient method.

    Unlike in cycling team trials, where riders peel off and take turns at the front, these teams of three stay in the same order for all six laps, only breaking the chain as they dart for the line at the end.

    As things stand:

    1. Japan - 2:55.52
    2. Netherlands - 2:55.65 (+0.13)

    China and Japan are next up. Japan - gold medallists in 2018 and silver medallists in 2022 - are expected to finish in the top four.

    Remember, it's not the winner of each heat who will qualify for the semi-finals but the four fastest overall.

    It's a little bit of a case of keeping things clean as you can through here.

    Any score is fine if limited. You're four points ahead, three ends to play.

    One of the Kazakhstan skaters goes down. She slammed into one of the side walls on the final two laps. That's Kazakhstan's hopes of qualifying as one of the fastest four teams over.

    It looks like she clipped her team leader. After a lengthy delay, she gets to her feet quite gingerly.

    Netherlands finish with a time of 2:55.65.

    And we're off! World champions Netherlands will be hoping to lay down a marker as they chase down Kazakhstan.

    Remember, this race is over six laps.
