One day catch-up for the curling teams as both Men's and Women's competitions get underway. The GB Men started their campaign with a strong 7-5 win against Italy, where Bruce Mouat got revenge of sorts over Amos Mosaner, Gold Medallist in the Mixed Doubles. After 6 ends GB stood 1 down, but won 3 of the last 4 ends to win. The GB Women had a mixed game against World Champions Switzerland and a bout of over-sweeping led to a 5-6 defeat after an extra end. Their 2nd game this afternoon was totally different with everyone playing at the top of their game, which resulted in a convincing 8-2 win after only 7 ends over reigning Olympic Champions Sweden.
Tomorrow has the Men playing United States and Norway and the Women playing Korea.
It's a two day catch-up for everything else, starting with Farrell Treacy reaching the Final of the 1500m Short Track Speed Skating and finishing 9th. As is normal for chaotic Short Track, his appearance in the Final was due to various penalties dished out to other competitors in the Semi-final, where he was in a challenging position at the time.
Charlie Guest was in a creditable 15th position in the Women's Slalom in Alpine Skiing after the 1st run, but slipped to 21st after the 2nd run. Alex Tilley did not finish the 1st run.
GB Medal Hope Charlotte Bankes was eliminated in the 4th Quarter-final of the Women's Snowboard Cross and Kathryn Thomson failed to qualify in the Women's 1000m Heats of the Short Track Speed Skating.
Earlier today Matt Weston qualified for Heat 3 tomorrow in 13th place in Men's Skeleton, along with Marcus Wyatt in 17th position. The top 20 after Heat 3 progress to Heat 4 later in the day. Neither are likely to medal, being over 2 seconds down on the leader, which is a huge margin in this event.
Huw Nightingale was eliminated at the Eighth-final stage of the Men's Snowboard Cross.
Laura Deas and Brogan Crowley take part in Heat 1 of the Women's Skeleton at 01.30 tomorrow and in Heat 2 at at 03.00. The final 2 Heats are at lunchtime on Saturday.
