I watched wee Susan having a shot at curling. At first sight, it looks as though she played a really good shot at the end, but I'm certain the film editor should get more credit than her. It's obvious to me that there was more than one stone played in that sequence. You'd better not mention to SCO about Eve Muirhead being included in the excerpt.  

Also I'd like to put a word in for Team GB winning the Gold Medal in the Mixed Curling at the European Youth Olympic Festival, featuring Border Ice Rink's very own Angus Bryce.

However, back on topic, Scotland's Men preserved their unbeaten record by beating Canada 8-7 after an extra end last night and then this year's surprise packets, New Zealand, 6-2 this afternoon. Scotland now sit on top of the table on 5 wins with Canada, Norway, New Zealand, Switzerland and USA on 3 wins. There are still 4 games to go, including Italy and Switzerland tomorrow, but the Scots must be strong favourites to go through to the Semi-finals.

The Scottish Women continue to struggle as expected, losing 4-5 against Norway, despite leading 4-2 at one stage and have only 1 win out of 4 games. They play USA later tonight and Russia tomorrow.
