Team GB curling skip Eve Muirhead defends shot choice

Great Britain women's curling captain Eve Muirhead believes that she made the correct choice in attempting a risky shot with the final stone of the group stage match with Canada.

Great Britain women's curling captain Eve Muirhead believes that she made the right decision in going for a high-risk shot with the final stone of their preliminary round match against Canada.

The 23-year-old attempted a shot with the hammer on the final end that could have won the match for Team GB, but she did not quite catch it right as Canada claimed a 9-6 win.

"I don't go for shots if I don't think they are there," Muirhead told BBC Sport. "I definitely thought it was there, we had a good chance in that last end.

"I think we can take a lot out of that second half - managing to claw back how we did taking the ones and taking the twos."

Team GB play their fourth group stage match against China on Thursday morning.
