Well, the cat's really amongst the pigeons now. After GBR defeated Canada this morning by 7-5, the Canadians got all nervous and lost 6-8 to minnows Estonia.

Again after losing 4-6 against GBR the good ol' USA lost 5-6 to winless Korea after an extra end. Perhaps the self-inflated ego of Korey (with a K) Dropkin is not as deflation-proof as he thinks it is. He cost USA a chance of victory against Bruce and Jen with a rush-of-blood-to-the-head shot in the final end. I'd better not say too much just now as I'm sure both Canada and USA will probably qualify and be dangerous.

In the big picture, GBR have definitely qualified for the Semi-finals. Instead of having 4 teams fighting out for the other 3 places as expected, there are potentially 7 teams in with a chance of making it to the Semi-finals. All of the remaining games are important but the final session on Monday morning features Italy v USA and also Switzerland v Canada, both of which could see at least one of the favourites miss out.

In other sports, Kirsty Muir has advanced to the Women's Freeski Slopestyle Final in 3rd place.
