Curling - British women claim bronze after nerveless win

Curling - British women claim bronze after nerveless win

Great Britain's women won a bronze medal in the curling at the Winter Olympics in Sochi after a superb display in the third-place match against Switzerland.



Eve Muirhead's team entered the final end all square at 5-5 but with the benefit of holding the hammer after conceding one shot in the ninth end, and successfully picked up a shot in the final end to claim bronze.
Swiss skip Mirjam Ott left Muirhead a straightforward draw to the centre with the final stone, and the 23-year-old came through with flying colours to add Olympic bronze to her world championship title.
