You know it's a momentous occasion when Bobby Lammie is as chatty as that...

Watching the boys, there was a clear sense of satisfaction but also a tone of 'right, now the final' from them. Bruce Mouat referred to it as "our gold medal" and that is what these lads are here for.

Team GB's Bobby Lammie, speaking to BBC Sport: "I think we all played better in the second half. I think that was the hardest-fought win we've had and the hardest we have had to work in the curling game.

"Proud of the way we fought back and glad we brought our best when it really mattered."

Team GB's Hammy McMillan, speaking to BBC Sport: "In the ninth end, it was one of those ones. We were kind of happy being one up without rather than chasing the game.

"Last time we played them in a round-robin, it was the other way round and we lost. We felt we could control the game better if we kept one up."

My French teacher used to sing this to us in class ... childhood memory unlocked.

Now we have three time world champion Kaori Sakamoto in her final routine before retirement.

She is performing to Non, je ne regrette rien by Edith Piaf. Hopefully she leaves with no regrets.

Liu is in a gorgeous gold dress and now she's in the golden spot!

She is given a huge score of 150.20 to guarantee her an Olympic medal.

Ilia Malinin in the crowd is on his feet! So are the rest of the spectators!

That was stunning. Alysa Liu will win an Olympic medal for sure - but what colour?

Liu flicks her ponytail knowing she absolutely smashed that routine.

I didn't want it to end! A real feel-good performance.

Alysa Liu is an absolute superstar.

I can't help but have a big smile on my face when I watch Alysa Liu.

The ultimate performer.

Team GB's Grant Hardie, speaking to BBC Sport: "We have had struggles with technique all week, and it was the same again in the first half. The coaches gave us a drilling of what we needed to change.

"We adapted well in the second half. The shot from Bruce in the seventh, hopefully we will talk for a long time. That was incredible and gave us a chance to win."

On the final: "It will be the biggest match of our life. I don't know who it is against. We probably are going to play a better game than we did there. Excited to get the opportunity to go for gold again."

World champion Alysa Liu is the only person now who can put a stop to a Japanese clean sweep.

A truly beautiful routine by Mone Chiba, she deservedly moves into first place.

Whether it is enough for a medal, that is down to the next three women on the ice.

We have a new leader. Mone Chiba scores 143.88 to push Amber Glenn into second.

Canada win the extra end against Norway so it is they who will face Great Britain in the men's curling final on Saturday.

Canada won the round-robin meeting 9-5 but, as we've discovered already this evening, those round-robin results count for very little now.

The light and shade in Mone Chiba's routine is what makes it so good to watch.

It's effortless. She's effortless.

Team GB's Bruce Mouat, speaking to BBC Sport: "What has happened? Crazy, so much fun to play in that atmosphere again.

"Our supporters were incredible there. All of us continue to say thank you to everyone back home for sending messages and buying your lottery tickets. It does really add up to what we are going to hopefully achieve and win a gold medal."

Great Britain will face either Canada, who have been involved in some controversy during these Winter Olympics, or Norway in Saturday's final.

Their game has gone to an extra end with the scores tied at 4-4, and Canada have the hammer.
