Pretty disappointing after they were well on top in the semis then blew it. Didn't see today's game but sounds like they never turned up

Tense stuff in the curling now. GB needed to win and have two results go their way to get through to the semis

We just best Russia and one result has gone our way, now just need Sweden to hold on for the win to qualify they're leading by two in the final end

The men played really well, great to see the American captain losing his rag with his teammates while our lads were calm as anything all game

Good to see the curling teams stepping up given how poorly all our other athletes have performed

Never watched the winter games before have you? We’ve always performed poorly at the Winter Olympics. We don’t have consistent snow, and sloping mountains like China, Russia, Canada, the US, Norway, Sweden… not to mention ice rinks and bobsleigh-skeleton tracks have been closed for the majority of the past few years because of the pandemic.

I would imagine everyone is aware how poor we are in the winter Olympics, I'm laughing at you blaming ice rinks being closed for our poor performance, especially when our curling team are doing so well.

Since when does curling practice take place at your local ice rink?

Unless they have started using the putting green at the next door golf course, I would imagine evertime anyone wanted to.

our skeleton tracks here were also closed, but our athlete Kimberley Bos went to other countries instead to train


we also do not have mountains to train for snowboarding, skiing but still have two 6th place results at snowboarding, Melissa Peperkamp and Niek van der Velden



that UK performs poorly at winter olympics is mainly on UK's olympic comittee to blame for, for lack of ambitions


lack of a solid broadcaster either, Woke BBC not even highlighting the decent efforts for Cornelius Kersten and Ellia Smeding their olympic debuts and representing GB after so many years at the speed skating event

That American guy was completely obnoxious ... he’s a public speaker and big does he like the sound of his own voice

GB give up 4 in the very first end of the semi final

But bounce back with a big 3 in the second end

I watched a lot of the last 3 games actually which is why I know we won a few medals at the last two games whereas this year all of our various medal hopes have fallen short

Why Team GB are on course for their worst Olympics in 30 years

The last time Great Britain finished a Winter Olympics medalless was at the 1992 Games in Albertville, also the last time both a summer and winter Games had been held in the same year.

Thirty years on, and as Beijing celebrates becoming the first city to host both a summer and winter Olympics, British athletes are sliding towards their own slice of history, albeit of the unfortunate kind.

With four days of competition left, the wait goes on for a medal. It could well happen yet, with the strongest chance coming in the men's curling. But even if the drought does end, questions will inevitably be asked as to how such disappointing performances in Beijing came to pass, especially backed by millions in UK Sport funding.
