Well, what can I say? I really don't know which swear word would fit best, but suffice to say that a shocking 6th end put paid to GBR's chances of Gold or Silver. There were 4 abysmal attempts from Bruce and Jen, with only 1 half-hearted one. All the while, Sweden just kept rolling them in without any resistance. Although one end proved our undoing, nobody could argue against Sweden being easily the more composed team and thoroughly deserved their victory. To give you an idea of how bad it was in the 6th end, I think I could have made a better job than Bruce and Jen!

Anyway, it's already all in the past and the 3-9 defeat with an end to play should be the kick up the backside needed to come good in the Bronze Medal game against Italy at 1pm tomorrow. United States beat Italy in the other Semi-final by 9-8 and play in the Gold Medal game at 5pm tomorrow.

In other news, Kirsty Muir finished 4th by 0.41 points in her Final and Mia Brookes also finished 4th in her Final. I hope it's not catching for Bruce and Jen!
