Britain's skip Eve Muirhead

GREAT BRITAIN missed out on a place in the Olympic women’s curling final after being easily beaten 10-5 by Sweden today at the Gangneung Curling Centre.

A short final shot from skip Eve Muirhead in the seventh end gifted the Swedes a three against the hammer and effectively ended the semi-final contest.

In a repeat of their experience in Sochi four years ago, Muirhead’s team must now pick themselves up for a bronze medal play-off against Japan tomorrow.
