Fantastic turnaround from Team GB

That was some end to the curling for Team GB's women! The team were three shots down going into the final two ends.

They were able to get two in the ninth, but were still against it going into the final end, with USA having the Hammer.

With GB against it, Rebecca Morrison played a brilliant double take-out to leave GB lying with two shots.

With the final stone USA could only hit the guard.

It means that GB turned the game around and came out as 8-7 winners to keep their hopes of qualification alive.

Jurgen Klopp appearance

Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp made a surprise appearance at the Winter Olympics.

The German was responsible for ringing the bell for the final lap of the men's biathlon relay on Tuesday.

Klopp is said to be a big fan of the event, having grown up in Germany's Black Forest.

When asked what his favourite sport was away from football, he said: “I'm a fan of everything.

“I love all alpine skiing, I love all cross-country skiing disciplines, I love biathlon. It's all just exciting. I understand some things better from watching them for years or from doing them myself. Other things I don't understand at all."
