Curling climax

British skip Rhona Martin's title hopes are in the balance
Britain's women curlers play the USA at 1800 GMT on Monday in a match they must win to have any chance of qualifying for the semi-finals.

GB are in fifth on four victories and will need to win and hope another result goes their way to squeeze into a play-off place for the last four.

With Norway through after their easy win over Denmark, Britain now need the Danes to upset Canada later on Monday.

A shock defeat for the Canadians and a British win would set up a play-off.

Japan and Russia could also join the teams on five victories if they both win their last matches after beating Italy and Sweden respectively on Monday.
