Fittingly we will give the final word to British skip Eve Muirhead.

What an afternoon. Phew. Feels like time for a lie-down - or a party. You choose.

Perhaps you might want to save yourself for the weekend - it's a biggie.

Tomorrow, Great Britain take on Sweden in the men's curling gold-medal match at the slightly later time of 06:45 GMT.

Then on Sunday - or Saturday night if you prefer - the British women also go for curling gold.

See you then! But if you need your curling appetite fulfilling before all that head over to our Winter Olympics page where you can read and watch all of today's excitement from Beijing.

British skip Eve Muirhead on Sunday's final versus Japan and tomorrow's preparation: "We've got tomorrow off so we will definitely take time to celebrate among ourselves tonight and the morning we do what we want to do.

"I don't think we will get practice and then the men are playing in the afternoon so we will be here supporting them.

"From after their game tomorrow that's when we need to knuckle down, get back to a flat ground and know we have one match to go.

"When you get to the final no-one likes going away with a silver medal so believe you me will fight for that gold."

This is how it feels to be going for gold...

More from British skip Eve Muirhead on the pressure of building up to the final stone: "All the way through the end I was getting times on their guard and speaking to Vicki after she played her peels. I assumed it would be left for me to have a draw. So I was happy.

"But when you don't have to play it it makes it a little but easier. but its such a a team game out there."

Emma Gregory: Team Muirhead absolutely SENSATIONAL!!! WOW! What a game of curling. Incredible! Mind blown! Let's go get gold now girls!

Kelly: I wasn’t expecting to become so invested in curling but here were are! Come on TeamGB!!

Alison Sheath: Two silver medals at least for our GB Olympics curling teams. Congratulations and best of luck for the finals.

Team GB women's second Jen Dodds after reaching the final: "The aim of that second end was just to get ourselves back in the game so a three was an absolute bonus.

"We knew it was going to be tough. If you're going to lose a four lose it in the first end and we did but I think that just sums up our team so well.

"Just keeping going and going and never giving up. Such an important part of curling is supporting your team mates."

You might have to say this out loud two or three times to get the emphasis and intonation right (well, I did).

Well worth it.

Team GB going for gold in the social media Olympics too, it seems! Top work.

Team GB women's lead Hailey Duff speaking after reaching the final: "There was a little bit of an adrenaline rush when we got the four.

"We really had to focus going into the last end and do everything we could to make sure we got the win."

Kiyo: I’m Japanese. My spouse is British. Been cheering for all three GB curling teams the entire Games. This weekend is going to be a party for me.

Team GB's women's third Vicky Wright speaking after reaching the final:"First end I was like here we go buckle up, I knew I fully believed in all of us and we could get it back. You just have to go for it and we did. We got there in the end."

Eve Muirhead gets her shot at the biggest prize of all after a career which has yielded all this:

• World championship medals of each colour, including gold from 2013
• The youngest skip to win an Olympic medal with bronze in at Sochi 2014
• Three European titles (2011, 2017 & 2021) and a total of 10 European medals
• Awarded an MBE for services to curling

Does Eve Muirhead sleep in the fridge? She is so cool!

What a moment for the 31-year-old, who finally gets the chance to go for Olympic gold.

British skip Eve Muirhead, speaking to ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sport: "It is third time lucky. I've lost two semi-finals before and I was desperate for it.

"These moments and opportunities don't come around very often.

"I'm so proud of these girls. It is such a team game and all week we have dug so deep.

"I'm pretty speechless right now but what a moment. It sounds amazing to say we're in an Olympic final."

Want to know what the British team have got to say? Of course you do. They're each beaming from ear to ear as they line up to speak to ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sport's Steve Cram...

That was a roller-coaster of a game, oh my goodness me.

Eve just played so well. She was so calm and just led them so well.

Jackie Lockhart

I have never seen a match like that. My goodness that was going up one minute down the next. Both these teams clutching onto what was going to be getting into the final.

I've said it before, i think this is going to be a re-run of 2002 and Rhona's gold medal. This has got to be written in the stars.

I bet you all these people back home are still jumping up and down with joy. I'm so excited that we're going to get both of our teams in the finals of an Olympics games.

So it will be Great Britain versus Japan in the women's final on Sunday.

Well, more like it'll be a late Saturday night. That starts at 01:05 GMT.

Coffees after the pub, for sure.
