Scotland still in this semi final after a pretty poor start.

Yep, from 4-0 down after the 1st end to currently 5-5 after the 5th end. Doing well!

Wow! We just got 4 stones in the 9th end and we're leading 11- 8 going into the final end. Another potential gold match final.

Eve Muirheads a legend!

That was pretty epic but curling is still rubbish.

Blackjack Davy · 18 Feb 2022 at 14:47

We're guaranteed a medal, a silver one at that! Our only medal of the entire olympics! The curling teams are bloody heroes as far as I'm concerned! :eek:

edit: two silvers! :eek:

Zero sympathy

Yep. Should not have been even allowed to step on the ICE, The ICO itself is killing the Olympics with its pathetic weak stance.

She's a minor she can hardly be blamed for what her coaches/organisation get up to.

Oh blimey, all tied at 11-11

marc2003 · 18 Feb 2022 at 14:53

I don't get that. Surely you'd be smashing them all over the place when you've got 3/4 stones left just to make sure they can only score 1/2 max.

would have thought so...

Merlin5 · 18 Feb 2022 at 15:04

This is tense, last 2 stones. :eek:

Merlin5 · 18 Feb 2022 at 15:05

Omg, we won!!

marc2003 · 18 Feb 2022 at 15:05

2 silver medals then.

Daaaaaaaaammmmnnn!

Azza · 18 Feb 2022 at 15:12

Are they playing Auld Lang Syne in the arena?!

turbot1984 · 18 Feb 2022 at 15:13

Curling .... its the new Giant Slalom :cry:

Terminal_Boy · 18 Feb 2022 at 15:13

Yup. Chinese hosts probably thought “****, the Jocks have won! Play something Scottish!”

Yeah - I didn't get that just keep smashing them out the back - opponents were going last so they would get 1pt but who cares when you had 3 in hand.

Lets hope that we dont have one taken away from us, I see in the news that we've had our Silver medal from the 2020 games in the 4 x 100m relay removed because one of the Team GB runners failed a drug test. Seems that its not only Russia that cheats

Maybe it was his granda's drugs

Good day for the curling teams. Thought the women had blown it with their earlier losses in group stage.
