And it was Dodds who missed a glorious chance in the sixth end to pull two points back as her effort was far too light, with Team GB earning just one point instead. Norway's power play in the seventh end all but put an end to the contest, capitalising after the Brits let one too many chances go begging. And after Dodds threw wide, short and light again, Norway made it virtually impossible for Team GB to grab the win with Skaslien swerving round the guard stone to score two points and make it 6-2.
