Obviously Elise Christie hasn't been following their advice.

Can't understand Elisa's bad luck with the Olympics, it's just something utterly unbelievable. I jumped up when watched her fall!

Just awful Will. She had such a bad time 4 years ago and now to get disqualified again in her third race :( ....you couldn't make it up. I was blaming the referees but the ex speed skater in the studio agreed with the decision....he knows better than me, but still....how awful for Elise....by the way, welcome to the forum Will ( I'm one of the girlie posters on here....) :)

Curling semi-final

Eve Muirhead just scores two v Sweden to equalise 3-3 at the half-way point

I love this team of lassies, so much spirit & determination to perform well. They have put our lads team to shame tbh

Can they better their bronze in the previous olympic games ? Hope so

Eve looks dispirited, I'm not a bowler but why are we setting up blockers as Sweden lie 2 already?

I played the perfect blocker yesterday when we had woods all around the jack & all angles covered but bowls is a different game to curling which is far more brutal
