- GB beat Sweden 12-11 in extra end to set up final with Japan
- Men’s quartet also go for gold on Saturday against Sweden
Great Britain have set up the chance of a golden weekend at the Beijing Winter Olympics after the women’s curling team joined the men’s quartet in sealing passage to the final of their competition with a dramatic 12-11 extra-end win over Sweden.
Eve Muirhead’s team fell 4-0 down to the reigning champions in the opening end but bounced back with three points of their own in the second. That wild opening presaged a cagey contest which saw Sweden lead 8-7 going into the ninth end.
