  1. 'GB playing a wonderful game'

    Great Britain's Sophie Jackson, Jennifer Dodds, Rebecca Morrison and Sophie Sinclair following the Women's Curling match against the ItalyPA Media

    At the moment, GB are playing a wonderful game.

    GB have come into this game with their A game and that is all they can do.

    They can't watch what is happening with Switzerland, and they have got to put all the effort into this game. When they came to the Olympics, they were the underdogs.

  2. 'Morrison gets GB out of trouble'

    Vicky Wright
    Olympic gold medallist curler on BBC Two

    That was a great shot by Rebecca Morrison. It was so well controlled, she gets GB out of trouble, once again.

  3. Women's curling - GB 4-1 Italy (five ends)

    Richard Winton
    BBC Sport Scotland in Cortina

    Another fabulous Rebecca Morrison shot - through a gap that barely looked like it existed - puts the pressure on Italy, and Stefania Constantini cannot respond. That's a steal for GB and a three-point lead.

    Only problem is that the US are beating the Swiss, which would ruin everything...

  4. 'USA, USA, USA'

    Women's curling - Switzerland 1-3 USA

    If we're hearing 'USA, USA, USA' in the stadium then it is not going our way.

  5. Get Involved

    Use 'Get involved' to have your say

    @Richard Winton at 14:21. As did Rhona Martin's team in 2002. Sometimes you wonder if there might be a guardian angel on the shoulders of the curlers this year.

  6. Women's curling - GB 3-1 Italy

    Richard Winton
    BBC Sport Scotland in Cortina

    Getting heavy Last Night of the Proms vibes in here today. A significant number of red, white and blue flags are festooned over the barriers. The owners of those are not as noisy as the Italians with their bells, mind...

  7. Women's curling - GB 3-1 Italy

    Vicky Wright
    Olympic gold medallist curler on BBC Two

    Today and last night, Great Britain have been fully focused and it is nice to see the smiles back for the GB girls.

  8. Watch: GB women win twice to keep medal bid alive

    Women's curling round robin

    'How on earth have they done that' - Morrison's miracle shot steals win for GB

    It's all very nervy today with GB needing to win and hope that Switzerland beat the USA.

    That's preferable to the alternative we were facing yesterday morning: that this match would mean very little.

    It took a moment of brilliance from Rebecca Morrison against the US to prevent that and GB's women followed that incredible win with a more convincing victory over Japan yesterday evening.

  9. Women's curling - Switzerland 1-2 USA

    Steve Cram
    Curling commentator on BBC Two

    USA are in the fourth end and they have managed to pick up one. It is still a very tight match.

  10. Women's curling - GB 3-1 Italy (four ends)

    Richard Winton
    BBC Sport Scotland in Cortina

    Stefania Constantini, that is unlucky. The Italian skip's final stone glances a guard and skites all the way through, leaving Rebecca Morrison the chance to draw for two, which she gladly takes.

    Over on the other side of the rink, the US are leading Switzerland 2-1. GB need that to change.

  11. Gaffe-ridden Olympic commentary prompts Italian TV boss to resign

    Paolo PetreccaRai

    He was the opening ceremony commentator who confused Mariah Carey with Italian actress Matilda De Angelis, and the San Siro (in Milan) with the Stadio Olimpico (in Rome).

    Now Paolo Petrecca, whose gaffe-ridden commentary for Italian television went viral, has handed in his resignation.

    Petrecca, the head of Rai Sport, made a litany of on-air errors broadcast to an audience of 9.2 million viewers, prompting a brief strike by news journalists.

    His tenure will end at the end of the Games, and he will not be commentating on the closing ceremony.

    Petrecca had been a last-minute stand-in, because the original commentator was dropped for revealing a "sensational surprise" element of the ceremony by mistake.

    His performance was described one reviewer as one of Rai's bleakest ever live broadcasts, when its flagship Rai 1 channel had an audience share of more than 46%.

  12. Women's curling - GB 1-1 Italy

    Richard Winton
    BBC Sport Scotland in Cortina

    Worth bearing in mind here that, when Team GB won gold in this event four years ago, they squeaked into the semi-finals with a 5-4 record, which is what Rebecca Morrison's rink are aiming for.

  13. Ice Hockey - Switzerland 0-0 Sweden

    Thea Johansson fights for the puck with Lara ChristenGetty Images

    It's 0-0 at the end of the first period in the women's bronze medal match between Switzerland and Sweden.

    It's been a fairly cautious opening 20 minutes from both sides in Milan.

    We're back under way for the second period shortly.

  14. Women's curling - GB 1-1 Italy

    Vicky Wright
    Olympic gold medallist curler on BBC Two

    It was a good end, and good shots by Rebecca Morrison to turn that around.

  15. Women's curling - GB 1-1 Italy

    Steve Cram
    Curling commentator on BBC Two

    It was well played by GB to limit Italy's scoring opportunity.

  16. Women's curling - GB 1-1 Italy

    Richard Winton
    BBC Sport Scotland in Cortina

    Rebecca Morrison is statistically one of the best-performing fourths here this week and she's maintaining that standard here. A composed takeout restricts the Italians to one to level the scores.

    It's poised at 1-1 between Switzerland and the US, too. GB need the Swiss to win that, remember.

  17. Women's curling - GB 1-0 Italy

    Richard Winton
    BBC Sport Scotland in Cortina

    BBC Sport pundit Vicky Wright reckons Team GB don't want to "get into a guddle" with Italy and that if they can stay a shot or two ahead they will be able to control the contest.

    Given Vicky won gold in this event four years ago, I'd say her advice is worth listening to...

  18. Men's semi-final start time put back

    Men's curling - GB v Switzerland, semi-final (18:35 GMT)

    Organisers have put back the start time of GB men's semi-final against Switzerland later today.

    It will now start at 18:35 GMT and you can tune in to BBC Sport coverage to see if Bruce Mouat's team can reach the final.

  19. Women's curling - GB 1-0 Italy

    GB will have to take the one, and take their medicine.

  20. Women's curling - GB 1-0 Italy (second end)

    Richard Winton
    BBC Sport Scotland in Cortina

    That's the first point on the board for Team GB, who take one with the hammer in the second end. Good enough.

    Meanwhile, the United States are 1-0 up on Switzerland at the same stage. Remember, GB need the Swiss to win that one.
