Dave's lads are gifting the gold medal to the Canadians

Painful viewing isn't it.. such a shame after all the build up this morning. Too many mistakes and against the best in the world it's a bit pathetic to be honest. Struggling to even get any when we have the last stone. At least make them earn it guys, don't just chuck it to them on a plate.

The winner had a better technical mark.
Sotnikova's technical score of 75.54 dwarfed Kim's technical score of 69.69.

pressure looks like it got to them and its not just 1 of them whos played badly either team gb must be happy with 2 medals from the curling team though and i dont care what any1 says on here that they were disappointed that eve never had the chance to go for gold against the canadian women cos that canadian team was unbeaten for a reason and no team wud have beaten them at this olympics plus they beat us twice, jennifer jones wud hav found a way to beat gb in the final if she had to. really surprised about the men though, and agree with regen, they just gave it them but be interesting to hear the interviews after the game, see if they complain about the stones, but hope they dont cos i think a silver for the men is a great achievement.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, the silver medal is a great achievement. I was just hoping for a close competitive final and to me it looks like they've come out here and not delivered, the mistakes have been too frequent and Canada's men haven't really had to do anything. The GB women wanted to be in the gold medal match but the Canadian girls have been unbeatable throughout the tournament.

I'm looking forward to the US-Canada men's ice hockey semi final tonight. The women's final yesterday was excellent. I wish I had the opportunity to watch this game more often because there's nothing like it to get that adrenaline flowing.

3rd end mistakes killed off any chance for team GB in curling. They were never coming back from that

Usa V Canada in the mens ice hockey has just got underway also elise christie has got through to the semi's of the 1000m short-track speed skating. I am team Canada for this game as the captain of team Canada is Sidney Crosby, who is the captain of the ice hockey team I follow in the usa, Pittsburgh Penguins

i just watched a bit of womens skiing while short track skating was havin a break and if any1 saw it the 18 yr old american mikaela shiffrin wow, how did she stay on her feet? i never watch skiing to be honest but very impressive how she never fell over, must have amazing strength to hold on like she did and win gold!

fucking shocking how elise christie has been treated by the officials in these olympics!

That fucking Ref at it again !!!
