Winter Olympics 2022 - Team GB back on track after convincing curling win over Team USA

Team GB are back on track in the women's curling at the Winter Olympics after beating the USA 10-5. After two defeats from their first three matches in the round robin, Eve Muirhead’s rink were in desperate need of a confidence-boosting victory against the USA, who were unbeaten coming into the match and sitting at the top of the table.

Team USA skip Tabitha Peterson was not going to let the chance pass her by and halved the deficit with their final shot of the fourth end kissing the edge of the button.
