Great Britain's wheelchair curlers secured their second consecutive victory at the Winter Paralympics, defeating the United States in a narrow win that keeps them in contention for the mixed doubles semi-finals. The match was part of the limited sporting action on Friday, with the opening ceremony scheduled for later in Verona.

Team member Butterfield acknowledged the intensity of the past few days, noting the importance of recovery time before their next match against Japan on Saturday. The Japanese team presents a formidable challenge as current world champions, but Butterfield expressed confidence in Great Britain's growing momentum and improved team communication throughout the competition.

Beyond the mixed doubles, Great Britain will compete twice on Saturday in the four-player wheelchair curling mixed team event, facing Slovakia in the morning and the United States again in the evening. These matches represent crucial opportunities for the British team to build on their winning streak and strengthen their position in the tournament standings.
