And the "so nearly"s and the "not quite"s of the Winter Olympics continue into the Winter Paralympics for Team GB.
The Mixed Doubles curlers, despite being 4-10 down with only 2 ends to go, battled back with two 3s to force an extra end against Italy. Unfortunately Italy scored the winner in the extra end. If Team GB had come out on top, they would have qualified because of a better record amongst the tied teams. Ah well!
The Semi-finals are China v Latvia and Korea v United States at 1.35pm tomorrow.
It was even worse for the Mixed Team curlers after losing 6-7 to Korea, then 5-6 to Sweden. They are now in the unenviable position of having to win their remaining 4 games and hope that other results go their way. Looks gloomy to me. Ah well
To continue the hard luck stories, Neil Simpson finished 4th in his event, with Fred Warburton in 12th. Menna Fitzpatrick has struggled with injuries this season, resulting in her 6th place finish. All of these skiers return tomorrow to take part in their respective disciplines.
