Winter Olympics live: Curling updates as Team GB men face must-win USA match after women snatch incredible victory

That gold for Su Yiming slots China into 16th in the latest medal table at Milano-Cortina.

Norway still comfortably lead the way and don’t look like they can be caught at the top, with hosts Italy also having a nice cushion in second.

It’s a battle royale for third with USA, Netherlands and Sweden all on six golds, while Team GB are 13th with their three (and no other medals)

Check out the full table:

Redemption for Su Yiming! The Chinese superstar wins the men’s snowboarding slopestyle final.

Su claimed bronze in the big air last week, silver in this event in Beijing four years ago and has won gold, four years after becoming Olympic champion in the big air four.

It’s China’s first gold medal at Milano-Cortina and Su is in tears. Silver goes to Japan’s Taiga Hasegawa and an ecstatic Jake Canter of the US takes bronze.

Just under an hour until Team GB’s crunch clash in the men’s curling against Team USA (1.05pm GMT). So what do Bruce Mouat and co actually need in order to reach the semi-finals?

It’s actually more simple than it might first appear. Team GB must beat USA today to end with a 5-4 record and then hope that either Norway or Italy lose both their remaining matches.

If either of those two teams win one of their two matches to finish on 5-4, the same as GB, they will go through instead as they hold the head-to-head advantage.

For reference, Norway face Switzerland this afternoon and Canada tomorrow morning, while Italy face the same two teams in the reverse order. Helpfully for GB, Switzerland and Canada are currently the top two, so it’s not inconceivable that Norway or Italy lose both.

All clear? Good.

In the category of light-hearted news, a loose dog has been winning people over at the cross-country skiing

So, what does that victory mean for Team GB? Essentially, it keeps their hopes alive but there is still plenty of work to do.

GB have three wins and four losses and are still seventh in the standings with two matches remaining.

Sophie Jackson’s rink need to win both games (against Japan this evening and Italy tomorrow afternoon) and get help from elsewhere to sneak into the top four with a 5-4 record.

The good news is that Japan and Italy are currently 10th and joint eighth in the standings respectively.

Here’s that moment we’ve been talking about. An incredible double takeout by GB fourth Rebecca Morrison which piles the pressure on US skip Tabitha Peterson, who can’t deliver.

GB steal two and snatch an 8-7 triumph

Team GB’s hero Rebecca Morrison and skip Sophie Jackson have been speaking to the BBC after that incredible 8-7 curling win over the USA thanks to Morrison’s remarkable final stone.

Morrison said: “There was a lot at stake here but we had to keep believing. We were up against it towards the end but we’re here to fight and that’s what we did.

“When I’m delivering, I’m ok. It’s the line call that will make it or break it but between me and Soph [Jackson], we absolutely nailed it. I’m super proud of that.”

Meanwhile, Jackson added: “When it’s in the moment, it doesn’t feel too nerve-wrecking. Once it came out of Becca’s hand, I knew it was close, so just try to not mess up the line call. It feels absolutely amazing to make those shots at a team.

“You can see the thrill it gave us at the end, that’s what we’re here for. It’s the Olympics, we put her (US skip) under pressure and there we go - we came away with the win.”

Jackson on how they will prepare for this evening: “It was a game we’d have liked to be a bit better in. Our performance throughout the game was a bit up and down. We’ll go away and figure out how to place the draws a little bit better tonight.”

WHAT A SHOT! THAT IS INCREDIBLE!

It’s backs to the wall for Team GB, they look dead and buried but Rebecca Morrison comes up with the shot of her life.

With her final stone, Morrison flicks off the US stone wide on the right and cannons into another US stone in the centre of the house, clearing it out. Huge roars from the crowd.

That leaves GB sitting two and US skip Tabitha Peterson now has a tricky run-through to try and remove them. She gets her line wrong, flicks the guard and can’t get it done, so GB steal two in the 10th end and nick a remarkable 8-7 win!

Where did that come from?! Rebecca Morrison, take a bow.

Team GB on the brink now. They take two in the ninth end but still trail 7-6 heading into the final end, where the US have the hammer.

They need to hope for a mistake from the Americans to steal at least one and keep their Olympic campaign alive

USA haven’t played particularly well today but GB simply haven’t been able to capitalise as they would have liked. And now it’s starting to look like game over.

USA steal one in the eighth end to lead 7-4 and Team GB have all but lost this one. They’ll be crashing out of the Olympics
