Winter Olympics: GB men’s curling team beats Italy 7-6
Written by News on 18/02/2018
Great Britain’s men’s curling team remain in the hunt for the semi-finals at the Winter Olympics after defeating Italy 7-6 on Sunday.
A sudden death finish was required to separate the two sides, with Team GB taking victory with the final stone.
The pressure had looked to tell on skip Kyle Smith, who slammed his broom in frustration after dropping two points in the eighth end to allow Italy to haul back to 5-5.
But after being forced into another extra end, Smith took advantage of holding the hammer to claim the point required and drag his team to three wins from their six games so far.
