Day Eight began with a mixed morning for British hopes with Elise Christie being disqualified from her second consecutive event this time in the 1500m after looking to have easily qualified, she had infringed on the finish line when sprinting past Italy's Fontana and left hopes of a medal in tatters.
Over in the Ice Cube after a lucky win yesterday for Team Murdoch their luck turned today as the final stone saw them lose 7-5 to Canada leaving them with a 5-2 record in joint third but Eve Muirhead made sure there was a win to celebrate for the British fans as her team beat Korea 10-8.
Chemmy Alcott went in the women's super G but could only place 23rd as Anna Fenninger (AUT) took the gold with Maria Hoefl-Riesch securing silver and Nicole Hosp (AUT) collecting the bronze.
In the final of the women's 1500m the gold went to Yang Zhou (CHN) while Suk Hee Shim (KOR) took the silver and Arianna Fontana (ITA) collecting the bronze while in the men's 1000m, it was a Russian 1-2 as Victor An took gold and compatriot Vladimir Grigorev in silver with the Netherlands continuing their skating medal haul with the bronze for Sjinkie Knegt.
Out on the slopes in the women's 4x5km cross country, gold went to Sweden with the silver going to Finland and the bronze to Germany and the afternoon focused around the long awaited Ice Hockey tie between the might of the USA and Russia and after a frantic three periods ending at 2-2, the match went to overtime which saw no score and meant that the game would be decided by penalty shots which saw the USA triumph with the win.
Later on, the medal ceremony for the victorious Lizzy Yarnold took place ad it was nice to see a first gold mdeal of the games for GB while in the women's curling, Eve Muirhead and the girls faced Switzerland and went 6-2 down at the half way stage before pulling back to 6-4 down after seven ends but going further behind at 7-4 but in end 9, a well earned two put them only one behind at 7-6 but went on to lose 8-6.
In the men's skeleton, gold went to Alexander Tretiakov (RUS) with Martins Dukurs (LAT) taking the silver and Matthew Antoine (USA) taking the bronze with impressive placings for the two Brits with Kristian Bromley in eighth and team-mate Dominic Parsons in ninth.
