Team GB win curling thriller against South Korea

Great Britain's women's curling team win three on the bounce at the Sochi Games by getting the better of South Korea 10-8.

Great Britain's women's curling team have clinched their fourth win in six matches at the 2014 Winter Olympics with victory over South Korea.

Team GB registered a 10-8 victory over their Asian opponents at the Ice Cube Curling Center in Sochi on Saturday to retain their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals.

Eve Muirhead's side struggled at the start of the contest and went down 2-0 in the first end, but recovered thereafter to build a 7-4 advantage.

The Koreans, though, stepped up their game and went 7-6 behind into the last two ends and then sneaked 8-7 ahead.

However, the British women staged a comeback of their own in the 10th and last end, securing a final stone and winning the match 10-8.

It is Team GB's third successive victory in the league phase and places them joint-second in the round-robin standings, with a clash against Switzerland to come later on Saturday.

In the two other games in the morning session, China edged past Sweden 7-6 and Canada got the better of Japan 8-6 to maintain their 100% record.
