Winter Olympics: Eve Muirhead's GB curlers lose tense opener to Switzerland
Muirhead needed to draw to the button for victory with the last stone but overthrew to give the Swiss victory.
The first half of the women's match was cagey, as might be expected at the start of an Olympic competition which features nine round-robin matches with the top four advancing to the semi-finals. However, Muirhead's miscued attempt in the eighth allowed Switzerland to level, and then an overthrown stone by the British skip limited her side to just one with the hammer in the ninth when there was a chance for two to move close to victory.
