0910: What are looking forward to most today As well as curling and GS there is women’s ski cross at 1030 (1830 GMT), the team event in nordic combined, men’s ice hockey play-offs, ladies figure skating and the first two runs of the women’s bobsleigh.

0905: The pipe band has led the teams in at Vancouver Olympic Centre and GB skip Eve Muirhead says: “Let’s finish on a good note”. The match is under way against Canada with GB securing the hammer in the first end.

**0850: ** Also coming up early doors is the men’s giant slalom from Whistler Creekside. The first run is at 0930 (1730 GMT) and there are 103 starters, I kid you not. It’s a wide open field but the Austrians are strong in the technical disciplines so look out for Marcel Hirscher and Benjamin Raich. American Ted Ligety leads the World Cup standings this season so he will be a threat and Bode Miller will be looking for his fourth medal of the Games. The Brits are also out in force, with Andy Noble, Ed Drake and Dave Ryding in the mix and attempting to get into the top 30 from the first leg, as these will qualify for the second medal run. 0835: Well hello again. Day 12 of the Olympics is upon us and what have we got in store for you Well the GB women’s curlers will be saying goodbye to the Games if they lose to Canada. Eve Muirhead’s team need to win and hope Switzerland lose to Germany to keep their faint hopes alive. The action starts at 0900 (1700 GMT) and we’ll be right on itThis article is from the BBC News website. © British Broadcasting Corporation, The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites.
