Murdoch: 'Defeat was bittersweet'

Great Britain's men's curling team skip David Murdoch has reflected on their "bittersweet" loss to China.

The 6-5 loss earlier today means that Team GB remain in the competition, but they must face Norway in a tie-break match in order to progress to the semi-final stage.

"We have bittersweet feelings," Murdoch told BBC Sport. "It was a chance to go over the finish line and we have had a few of those. We haven't got there yet but the good thing is we are still here in the competition.

"We play Norway in the play-off and we have got a good record against them. We have got to go out there and enjoy it - we are still in these Olympic Games."

The British women's team edged closer to the semi-final with victory over Russia in a tight contest this morning.
