Team GB curlers see off Switzerland

Great Britain's men's curling team secure their third victory from four games at the Winter Olympics as they beat Switzerland 4-2.

The Great Britain men's curling team have defeated Switzerland 4-2 in their fourth game of the preliminary round at the Winter Olympics in Sochi.

There was no score after the opening two ends at the Ice Cube Curling Centre, but Team GB broke the deadlock in the third end with the hammer.

David Murdoch's side extended their lead with a steal at the close of the fourth end, before Switzerland pulled one back in the fifth.

With the score at 3-1 to Britain, skip Murdoch clattered the guard with the penultimate shot of the eighth end, which allowed the Swiss the opportunity to make it 3-2.

Murdoch secured victory in the final end, though, as he used his final stone to dislodge the Swiss and give Britain a third win from four games.
