EVE MUIRHEAD staged a stunning fightback to steer Great Britain’s women’s curling team into the Olympic final in Beijing today, with a thrilling 12-11 win over defending champions Sweden.

They joined Bruce Mouat and the men’s team in guaranteeing a medal after overcoming a nightmare start at the National Aquatic Centre.

Muirhead’s attempted draw with her last stone of the first end finished almost two metres short and gave Swedish skip Anna Hasselborg the simplest chance to roll in for a four.
