We are all very well and looking forward to it. We had a really excellent four or five days of intensive training and a few practice games at our holding camp in Lucerne in Switzerland. We just can't wait to get to the venue and get on the ice.

We've beaten all our opposition at different times, so we know we are capable of beating them on the day.

We are all getting on fine and our third place in the European Championships showed we can play well together. We topped the round robin section in that tournament and were a bit disappointed to end up with the bronze, but that was a marker and I'd like to think there's more improvement to come.

I'm happy because I've got a great team behind me.

It feels fantastic to finally get started after all the build-up. We are not quite used to the ice yet but it was important to get a good start. When we've started well in the past, we have always done well.

That's fine. It's what we expected. We get a chance to get our revenge on Finland. We are going in very confident. This is the biggest thing for our sport because we have got a chance of guaranteeing a medal and achieving something we have looked forward to for a long, long time. You just have to be totally focused on what you want to achieve. It is a game of curling and the important thing is not to let your mind wander. If you focus and make every shot your dream will come true.

We really couldn't have done any more. We trained our hearts out and prepared as well as we could and came here and had some great performances and beat a lot of good teams but just never quite got the breaks.

It is hard to take because the chance was there. It will be with me for a long time but I am hoping we will get the chance to bury it at the next Olympics.

It's devastating. We wanted that bronze medal every bit as much as we wanted to win the semi-final. We had given some great performances over the last week but just came out on the wrong end of it.
wrong end win great
It made it hard to come back.
