Olympic gold medallist curler on BBC Two

Great Britain just need to sharpen up a couple of things and then they will be in it. They need to find that fight.

Busy, busy night and in the arena, the atmosphere is outstanding.

Right, keep the heid everyone. Still plenty curling to go...

Sweden, with a stone in the middle of the tee and two more in the house, use their penultimate throw to set up a guard (putting a stone in front of the house as protection).

Bruce Mouat knocked it - and Sweden's central stone - out of the way but Isabella Wrana responded with a stone onto the inner green ring.

Jen Dodds, with the hammer, managed to knock two of Sweden's stones out of contention but just overcooks her throw and Sweden steal a point.

Olympic record!

Femke Kok of the Netherlands, who has won three consecutive titles in the 500m, flies round in a time of 1:12.59 to top the women's 1,000m standings with two pairs to go.

Alongside her, American Brittany Bowe's 1:14.55 puts her second.

1. Femke Kok (Ned) - 1:12.59
2. Brittany Bowe (USA) - 1:14.55
3. Erin Jackson (USA) - 1:15.00
4. Suzanne Schulting (Ned) - 1:15.46
5. Lee Na-Hyun (Kor) - 1:15.76

Great work by Team GB's Ellia Smeding.

She comes home in a time of 1:15.834, putting her fifth in the standings with three pairs to go.

The best ever performance by a British woman is Smeding's 23rd in this event four years.

Her pair, Lee Na-Hyun of South Korea, slots in third with 1:15.76.

We have a new leader!

Erin Jackson, gold medallist in the 500m in Beijing and out in the 11th pair, sets a new best time of 1:15.00 to go top of the standings.

1. Erin Jackson (USA) - 1:15.00
2. Suzanne Schulting (Ned) - 1:15.46
3. Nikola Zdrahalova (Cze) - 1:15.83
4. Yin Qi (Chn) - 1:15.87
5. Han Mei (Chn) - 1:15.97

We have four pairs to go, with Great Britain's Ellia Smeding up next.

Hiya Sally,

The power play is a newer rule. It is a tactical option that a team can use to try and score more points, when they have the hammer (the last stone).

Essentially it is the change in the setup of pre-set stones.

Normally:

• Two stones are placed as centre guards (one for each team)

During a power play:

• Those two guard stones are moved to one side of the sheet

This allows the centre to stay open which creates more space for scores.

Heading into the final throw for each team, Great Britain had two stones queuing up behind the two Swedish stones parked side-by-side on the inner green ring.

Jen Dodds obliterated one of Sweden's stones but Isabella Wrana made no mistake with the final throw.

Sweden lead 2-1 after two ends.

Resurfacing the track means one thing: Bring out the Zambonis! This one was smoothing the surface before the event. Is Zamboni driver the coolest job at the Olympics? Maybe!

We're almost ready to go with the second half of the women's 1,000m.

Not as many as the GB duo would have craved from that opening end, but let's consider it a wee settler.

Great Britain, with the red stones, had the hammer in the first end, meaning they threw last.

Jen Dodds did the honours for Great Britain, knocking the Swedish stone off the tee to collect one point.

Sweden will be happy limiting GB to just one in this end.

It’s time! Great Britain’s Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds against Sweden’s Isabella and Rasmus Wrana for a spot in the gold medal match.

The winner will face either Italy or USA.

A reminder of the curling basics…

There are eight ends, with each team playing five stones.

A team scores one point for each stone located in (or touching) the house (the big blue and green circle they’re aiming at) that is closer to the tee (the middle) than any stone of the opposition.

The team with the most points after eight ends wins.

Great Britain’s Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds came out on top in the round robin, winning eight of their nine matches. No other team managed more than six wins.

Switzerland were the only team to get the better of the British duo, who registered wins over fellow semi-finals Italy (9-6), USA (6-4), and Sweden (7-4).

Swedish brother-sister duo Isabella and Rasmus Wrana won five of their nine matches, bouncing back from losing three consecutive matches to win three of their past four and secure a top-four finish.

Team GB's men's and women's rink arrived in Cortina late on Sunday and will make their first visit to the rink to support their pals in this semi-final.

Aside from a brief meeting over the breakfast table this morning, they've mainly left Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds in their mixed doubles bubble, but they've been watching all the matches and cannot wait to sample the atmosphere.

"It's got the excitement flowing, definately," says Bobby Lammie. "I can't wait to get out on the ice now."

Actually, they've just arrived and I can see them all filming the scenes on their phones

Eight pairs down, seven to go.

We've reached the break in the women's 1,000m with Suzanne Schulting of the Netherlands still setting the pace.

The track will now be re-surfaced, before the top-ranked athletes race after the interval.
