Team GB's women curlers claimed a stunning 7-6 victory over world champions Canada in their Winter Olympics 2026 debut, defying expectations after early struggles against China and South Korea. Skip Sophie Jackson praised Rebecca Morrison's improved shot-making, which turned the tide against a fragile Canadian team reeling from a U.S. loss. The win sets up a crucial rematch against Sweden on Sunday.

Meanwhile, Bruce Mouat's men edged past the Czech Republic 7-4, though outlandish shots from Czech skip Lukas Klima kept the match closer than the score suggests. Both teams aim to secure semi-final spots with six wins from nine matches. Austria's Janine Flock dominated skeleton events, securing gold with flawless runs, while Britain's trio of debutants finished top 10 but fell short of medals. Kirsty Muir advanced to the big air final after a strong qualifying round, aiming to redeem her slopestyle near-miss.
