 South Korea won though and move onto 5 wins- as there are 4 teams now at 5 wins or more and we can only reach 4

wins, it means our womens team go out. 

unless ive miscalculated how it works!

Stunning shot by Rebecca Morrison to nick it! 

Richard Winton at 10.51:

Until about five minutes ago, it looked like GB's meetings with Japan later on Wednesday (18:05 GMT) and Italy on Thursday (13:05) were moot. Not any more...

A couple of wins against two teams below them in the standings might just squeek [sic] them into the semi-finals. Dearie me.

Looking at the schedule, tbf our women maybe actually have a better than my calling it "a very outside chance".

GB's last 2 matches ( clearly they still have to win both and hope ) are against low in the table Japan and Italy While the 3 teams on 5 wins ( Sweden are on 6 ) have on paper tougher looking matches to play including 2 of them meeting, USA ( 1 match left ) vs Switzerland ( 2 matches left ).

We could still win 2 curling golds.

I wish... 

This is how the Beeb sees it:

GB still with work to do

If you missed it earlier, Team GB's women's curling team claimed victory from the jaws of defeat against the USA to keep alive their hopes of reaching the semi-finals.

Rebecca Morrison's rink head into another must-win meeting with bottom-of-the-table Japan later on Wednesday (18:05 GMT) before facing second-bottom Italy on Thursday (13:05).

And there's a four-way fight for the final two semi-final places. Italy, Norway, United States and Great Britain are scrapping it out. Each have four wins, but the latter two have one fewer game to play.

All Bruce Mouat and his boys can do is beat the US on Wednesday and see what happens elsewhere, with the final round-robin matches on Thursday morning.

So far, so good:  Team GB beats the Yanks by 9-2 AND the Norwegians are 3-6 against the Swiss & the Italians 3-7 against the Canucks...

The men should qualify as Norway and Italy have tough matches tomorrow and at least one or both should not win

 Yes, GB men are through to the SF as long as Norway and Italy don't both win their final matches against the two who are already through. Norway play Canada and Italy play Switzerland.

Given the first tiebreakers are results between the teams tied on number of wins, as far as I can see we'd be a goner if both win because GB lost to both Norway and Italy and thus would lose out on any 3 way tie for 3rd plsce with 5 wins. Whatever, we should be spared the joy of the next tie breaker for a SF place, the draw shot challenge.

Switzerland : Played 8, Won 8 Lost 0

Canada: Played 8, Won 7 Lost 1

GB : Played 9 ( wait and see ), Won 5 Lost 4

Norway: Played 8, Won 4 , Lost 4

Italy: Played 8, Won 4, Lost 4

USA: Played 9 ( over and out ), Won 4, Lost 5
