    GB women’s curlers have a shocker in the last end and it’s gone to an extra end 13-13
    Am enjoying watching it

    Going to be great for Eve Muirhead who has only been able to get a single Bronze Medal at the Olympics so far.

    Got a feeling the Mens Curling Final is edging towards Sweden

    Gone to an Extra end... Great shots from the Swedish to deny us the two

    Unfortunately Sweden have the end, so definitely have the advantage

    Westminster need to redouble their efforts to make sure Scotland don’t leave the UK!

    If I'm reading Wikipedia right, a gold and a silver makes this our second best games since the war, using the traditional method of ranking medals tables, or third best if you prefer to count total medals. We left it late, but we did OK. What put it into context for me was a guy from Belgium winning his country's first gold for more than 70 years.

    Now, can we get the powers that be to invest more in sports that award medals earlier on, so we don't have to have our nerves shredded by a string of near misses before the curling finishes?

    To be honest, we can't be expected to compete with nations who have ski resorts. We could open more ice rinks though and have programmes around speed skating etc...

    Not sure we should invest a penny of public money in winter sports to be honest.
