Team GB will go for gold in men’s curling after thrilling victory over Switzerland

Switzerland have the hammer in this fourth end. Team GB now have three stones on the centre line, with two of those being in the house, after a clever shot from Lammie. However Michel is able to blast two of those out but one GB stone is left in the house on that centre line.

As we hit the halfway mark of this end, Switzerland look to be on top and GB have some work to do not to drop multiple points. But Hardie responds with a terrific shot, deploying a lovely hit and roll, managing to knock two Swiss stones out of the house whilst retaining that stone in the house. That GB stone is immediately knocked out though by Swiss skip Schwaller.

With five stones left in the end, there are no stones in the house for either team but Switzerland will have the final stone. That is a big error from Switzerland as Schwaller looked to clip one stone off another to potentially put two Swiss stones in the house but it goes just past and runs through, meaning there are still no stones in the house.

Mouat manages to get one into the house, pretty near the centre, but Schwarz-van Berkel then sends down a good shot, lying his stone on top of the GB stone. One stone left for each team in this end.

Mouat’s shot then is not his best as it clears out the house. Switzerland now have a sneaky shot at getting two, perhaps making up for their error earlier in the end. Even if they make a mistake, the end will be blanked. The shot from Schwarz-van Berkel is on point, as he gets the final stone to clip their stone just before the house and both stones end up in the house to give Switzerland two.

Switzerland lead 4-2 through four ends.
