Italy defeat puts GB’s men into curling semi-finalsImage source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Team GB’s men are through despite only winning five of their nine matchesByRichard WintonBBC Sport in CortinaPublished16 minutes ago21 Comments
Team GB’s men’s curlers are now just two victories away from a remarkable Winter Olympic gold after sneaking into Thursday’s semi-finals in Cortina.
Bruce Mouat’s world champions were on the brink of a shock early exit in Italy after losing their penultimate round-robin match to Canada.
However, a comprehensive victory over the United States on Wednesday – coupled with favourable results elsewhere – revived their hopes.
And Italy’s defeat by Switzerland on Thursday morning ensured the British rink would advance to the last four at 18:05 GMT. Their opponents are still to be determined.
Should the Scottish quartet win that, they will play in Saturday’s final (18:05) and would be guaranteed to at least match the silver they won in Beijing four years ago.
Lose, and they will go for bronze on Friday (18:05).
The women’s rink must win a third game in a row – against the Italians on Thursday (13:05) – and hope Switzerland beat the US if they are to make Friday’s semi-finals.
