Great Britain’s women’s curlers ended Thursday on a high as they beat defending Olympic champions Sweden 8-2 to recover from an opening loss to Switzerland earlier in the day.
Eve Muirhead, Vicky Wright, Jen Dodds and Hailey Duff took an early lead and never look threatened in the round-robin match.
It came after the men’s team – Bruce Mouat, Hammy McMillan, Bobby Lammie and Grant Hardie – recorded a 7-5 win over Italy.
Meanwhile, 15-year-old Kamila Valieva practised as usual amid a swirl of allegations concerning a doping offence that could cost the Russian Olympic Committee gold in the team figure skating competition and ignite a major controversy at these Games.
Here the PA news agency provides a quick guide to what happened on Thursday in Beijing – and prospects for tomorrow.

What’s on tomorrow
Weston and Wyatt face an almost impossible task as they start the final two runs of the men’s skeleton competition well off the pace in Yanqing (0105 UK). Laura Deas and Brogan Crowley face the first two runs of the women’s event (0605). The men’s and women’s curling teams are back in action in the round-robin phase, while Andrew Musgrave, Andrew Young and James Clugnet go in the 15km classic cross-country (1205).
