Day 13 proved to be unlucky for some as in the early hours, GB's hopes in Men's Curling ended with a 9-5 loss to Switzerland made worse by the fact that GB went from 4-1 ahead to 4-4 before taking a 5-4 lead going into End nine. An end that will live long in the story of the games as a poor one for GB as they gave away a five to the Swiss leaving a pointless final end and a loss in the tie-break.
