So the Swiss take the lead, but the British rink will be content that they restricted them to just one point with the hammer. Now, what can Bruce Mouat and his boys do..?

As it stands with three pairs to go:

1. Freya Tarbit/Marcus Wyatt (GB) - 1:59.65
2. Dan Zhao/Wenhao Chen (China) - 1:59.93 (+0.28)
3. Alessandra Fumagalli/Amedeo Bagnis (Italy) - 2:00.04 (+0.39)

Oh yes, Marcus Wyatt! Another clean start and a smooth run!

He posts a time of 59.18 to take their overall time to 1:59.65.

New track record. New leaders!

Still to come:

• Susanne Kreher/Axel Jungk (Germany)
• Jacqueline Pfeifer/Christopher Grotheer (Germany)
• Tabby Stoecker/Matt Weston (GB)

That was a near perfect start from Freya. I thought she twitched too soon, but she is fine.

And this is what we want to see from Freya, nice and smooth down the bottom.

No red lights for Freya Tarbit as she gets her run under way! She posts the second-fastest start among the women and finishes with a time of 1:00.47 - the best women's run.

Over to you, Marcus Wyatt.

Game over for Austria. Janine Flock picks up a 1.06 second penalty for her false start. There's nothing Samuel Maier can do.

Austria slot into fifth, trailing leaders Dan Zhao and Wenhao Chen (China) by 1.08 seconds.

The leading time is 1:59.93.

And now - GB II and Freya Tarbit/Marcus Wyatt.

Flashing red lights! Janine Flock's is under review. It's not looking good for the women's Olympic champion!

There won't be a gold medal for Italy. China's Dan Zhao and Wenhao Chen take the lead with a time of 1:59.93.

Naturally, it's another track record but it wasn't a perfect run from Chen.

Next up, it's women's Olympic champion Janine Flock and Samuel Maier for Austria. And then, it'll be time for GB's Freya Tarbit and Marcus Wyatt.

With 24 athletes having jumped, and a further three not starting, we're beginning to see the first few competitors qualifying for the final later tonight.

30 of the listed field of 50 go through, and seven jumpers have already made it.

They're still led by Lisa Hirner of Austria.

Italy's Alessandra Fumagalli and Amedeo Bagnis were silver medallists at January's European Championships.

With six pairs to go, they're in the lead at their home Olympics, dethroning world champions Mystique Ro and Austin Florian (USA) with a new track record.

As it stands:

1. Alessandra Fumagalli/Amedeo Bagnis (Italy) - 2:00.04
2. Mystique Ro/Austin Florian (USA) - 2:00.39 (+0.35)
3. Yuxin Liang/Qinwei Lin (China) - 2:00.66 (+0.62)

Just to warn you, this might be an absolute belter...

It's a repeat of last spring's World Championship final, in which Bruce Mouat's Saltire-swathed rink saw off Switzerland 5-4.

The Swiss are unbeaten so far in their four games here, while GB team have won four of their five. It would be significant surprise if these two were not in the semi-finals but this is a chance for one of them to set down a marker.

Let's have it...

BBC One

If you're watching on TV, coverage of the mixed team skeleton has now moved to BBC One.

The two British pairings are still yet to come, and there's a chance of another medal or two to celebrate!

Sujung Hong takes a big chunk of wall before corner one and can only post the sixth fastest run among the women - 0.76 slower than leader Mystique Ro.

Despite delivering a clean run, Seunggi Jung can't overturn the deficit.

South Korea slot into fourth place. USA's Ro and Austin Florian - the world champions - remain in the lead with a track-record time of 2:00.39.

That was two good runs from the Americans, which were probably better than their runs in the indavidual event.

This is what the mixed team event brings; a different dynamic, a little bit of fun. You're working with a team mate, when they are normally individuals focussing on themselves.

This whole thing is a really good competition, the riders are fighting for something more than just themselves.

The world champions go to the top of the standings!

Mystique Ro and Austin Florian (USA) nip ahead of Yuxin Liang and Qinwei Lin's track record, posting a new gold medal time of 2:00.39.

As it stands with eight pairs, including two from GB, to go:

1. Mystique Ro/Austin Florian (USA) - 2:00.39
2. Yuxin Liang/Qinwei Lin (China) - 2:00.66 (+0.27)
3. Kelly Curtis/Daniel Barefoot (USA) - 2:01.43 (+1.04)

Romania's Delia Anamaria Folea has the first ever jump in Olympic women's large hill, scoring 42.6 points.

Three of the first 10 athletes listed to jump have not started, while Lisa Hirner of Austria leads the way with a score of 111.3.

Bruce Mouat: The skip or captain, he throws last and dictates the tactics. Calm, thoughtful, but fiercely competitive. Considered by many to be the best player in the world.

Grant Hardie: Mouat's deputy, he will throw third. He's the analytical one in the team and not afraid to speak his mind. Also drank champagne for the entirety of the 13-hour flight home from Beijing after winning silver.

Hammy McMillan: As the lead, he throws first. He's the lively one of the team and one of the best sweepers in the world. Loves a carry on. He and Hardie are cousins.

Bobby Lammie: The quiet one but an "absolute freak of nature physically" according to those who train alongside him. Along with McMillan, he has reinvented the role of the sweeper.

There's another big evening of curling up ahead, with Bruce Mouat's GB among those in action:

• China v Canada
• Norway v USA
• Italy v Czech Republic
• GB v Switzerland
