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

    Accusations of cheating. Swear words being hurled across the ice. Counter-claims of a sting operation with illicit filming.

    Then changes to how games are officiated. Protests from teams. Another alteration to the protocols.

    It's been quite the few days in the Cortina Curling Stadium. But what has actually gone on? And what happened now?

    I’m not doubting Team Mouat’s track record but they always seem to play very tentatively. Other teams seem more prepared to fill the house with stones especially when they don’t have the hammer. What is the best strategy?

    Bruce Mouat, with his final stone, sizes up a triple takeout. It would be an incredible shot, especially in these circumstances.... agh, he gets two of them and levels the scores going into the final end.

    Norway have the hammer, though, so it's advantage to them...

    So, we had a question yesterday from Diane Rogers in Langho. Her granddaughter was wondering if the athletes have to wash their own clothes when they are at the Olympics and who cooks for them.

    I've done some digging and have the answer...

    For food, there is a sizeable canteen in which all manner of different types of food is available for free. Plus there are vending machines - again free - dotted around the place.

    The clothes washing is very much on the athletes, though. They have to take their own gear to the on-site laundrette. It's worth a look at Canadian curler Tyler Tardi's Insta to see how it all works...

    Bruce Mouat is showing signs of fatigue for me. I thought 4 years ago the Mixed doubles would be an issue as the disappointment has to have a negative effect on you. I hope I’m wrong but he’s way off his best.

    Norway had played it brilliantly in terms of keeping it as tight as possible for as long as possible and hoping they might get a mistake from the British side.

    Oh my, that's not what Team GB wanted. Bruce Mouat has a shot for one but it clips the guard and skites through, giving Norway a steal of two. They're now two up with two ends left and very much in the box seat.

    A wee swear slips out from Bobby Lammie there. Actually spoke to the Team GB second about being mic'd up last week and the risks that brings.

    “You forget it about it a lot of the time," he told BBC Sport. “Then you say something you shouldn’t…”

    As the team’s alternate Kyle Waddell is unlikely to make it on to the ice, but he had some advice for his pals. “You just drop a Scottish slang swear word. You’ll get away with a few more of them.”

    It’s great to see that the pathway for Team GB is really starting to produce. We may not be a Winter Olympics powerhouse, but we know how to inspire. Athletes like Ryding, Muirhead & Yarnold amongst others gave us those moments that gave aspiring athletes the courage and platform to continue building something special.

    There's more to this curling caper than you might expect, you know. It's not just rocking up, throwing some stones and having a bit of a brush. These are seriously fit athletes with a seriously impressive infrastructure around them.

    You might have heard Bruce Mouat describe himself as "a hot mess" after one of his mixed doubles matches. That's because the rink in Cortina is warmer than most venues. When British Curling became aware of that, they started sweat testing the players to make sure their could get their hydration right. Yip, that level of detail.

    Team GB's Dave Ryding, who is set to retire at the end of the 2025 season, speaking to BBC Sport after making his final appearance at a Winter Olympics: "I was proud, I really tried everything right until my last turn.

    "I was quoted on the BBC as saying I would ski until my legs fell off, and I kind of feel like they have this year.

    "One season maybe too many, but I had to give it a go. I really went in as always and I’m proud.

    "It feels right, I feel ready and I’m looking forward to the future.

    "I honestly think the next 15 years of British skiing are taken care of, it will only get more and more exciting."

    How decisive might that prove to be? A couple of minor Norwegian errors open the door for the British rink and they walk right though, without even pausing to wipe their feet.

    That's a two-shot lead for Bruce Mouat and his boys as we go into the sixth end.

    Why all Olympic curling stones come from a Scottish island

    Did you know that every curling stone used in the elite game comes from one Scottish island?

    The rocks - which weigh around 20kg each - are all made from granite hewn from Ailsa Craig off the coast of Ayrshire and cost about £750 each to buy.

    Teams don't have their own set of eight which they travel around with. Instead, each rink will have their own stones and, at the Olympics, each ice sheet has it's own particular set of eight yellows and eight reds.

    They should all be identical but, being natural materials, they can deviate a little. That is why every team's alternate - or substitute - tests the stones the evening before every game to assess which ones react in which way.

    Curling question - when can the other team sweep the ice on their opponent’s stone?

    Brian, Truro

    Hi Brian, happy to help! You can sweep an opponent's stone once it has fully crossed the tee line, which is the line that goes through the centre of the house.

  17. Team GB need to lay down the lawpublished at 14:20 GMT 16 February

    This week GB have been really strong.

    Last night, they had such a strong game against Switzerland which came down to an extra end last shot. So for the boys, it's just about building on that, and today this on paper is a team they should beat but anything can happen.

    They need to have another strong performance, lay down the law and keep pushing on.

    So there's a school of thought here that Team GB are doing better in Cortina with the yellow stones than with the red ones.

    It might sound like nonsense, but the women's rink won using yellow earlier today and BBC Sport pundit Vicky Wright suggests it's harder to see the yellow ones so it's more difficult to hit them.

    And, not to alarm you, but the British lads are playing with reds here...

    Talking of headwear, someone asked the other day why Bruce Mouat wore a cap for all of his mixed doubles matches last week, but has not for any of his games in the men's competition.

    So BBC Sport asked the Team GB skip. Turns out it was down to a combination of bad-hair days and the increased heat of the arena in the more heavily-populated men's matches.

    Don't say we're not fearless pursuers of truth...
