Putin's fully understood the decision. In fact he's so delighted that he's arranged a long holiday for the referee to Sibera. (I hope that the short track referee will be sent there as well)

The key game for the GB women curlers against Switzerland and unfortunately they were defeated after an erratic display. This means they have lost to all three of the best opposition teams i.e Sweden, Canada and Switzerland.
GB are not certain to qualify for the semi finals either .
Russia and Denmark are the last two opponents in the round robin phase.

in their own hands though cos 2 teams with identical records to gb china and the swiss have to play each uva last game so 1 of them has to lose so if gb win both their games then they r ok if i have my maths rite which i probably have not, but i think if they win their last 2 it will take them to 6 wins and 3 losses so still in their own hands

Meanwhile, down on the beach in Sochi today, the temperature hit 24°C.


Winter Olympics ?

Sweden 5-2
GB, China & China all 4-3

The GB women's curling team have a crucial match against the already knocked out Russian team. The Russian's are captained by lovely Anna Sidorova

The Jamaica bobsleighers' helmets look like watermelons :

Switzerland women lost to Japan today to drop to 4-4, Russia lost to drop to 3-5 record,Denmark won to get to 4-4 . All means that 2 wins guarantee Eve's team progress. Any thing less will lead to tie breakers to decide who progresses.

In Men's comp David Murdoch's team lost again to fall to 5-3 and need to beat China to ensure progress
