if you touch one hair on one head of one of our athletes jesse: one of our curlers. martha: everything is going to rain down on you, don t even think about it. we haven t really heard that from president biden. i would love to hear him stand up and say, we have pretty much in our country. we expect our athletes to be responsible when they are out and about in the world but if they have an opinion on something if you so much as go near them or threatened them with any kind of confinement, you will have holy hell rain down on you. martha: she basically admitted she s afraid of them. greg: if she had any feeling left in her face she would try to save it but it s about their cowardice. when she says do not incur their anger it is for her own hide. not that she s worried about them. she is afraid if china tries to do something that she s going to have to do something and she doesn t want to do anything

after today s results. great britain s curlers are still on course for the semi finals at the winter olympics. the women lie third in the standings after victory over denmark, and the men s team played twice today, edging out china and they also faced denmark, beating them comfortably 8 2. they re second in their round robin group with four more to play. the top four go through to the medal matches. heavy snow and fog saw a number of events postponed in the mountains. the men s giant slalom did go ahead after a delay, but 33 of the 87 starters failed to finish. you can keep on top of winter olympics on the bbc sport website. the british curlers are back in action tomorrow, the men taking on the swiss and the women canada, and in the next few hours you ll be and in the next few hours you ll be able to follow super bowl 56 in la, the rams against the bengals. that s all from me. now on bbc one, it s time for the news where you are. goodbye.
you know, this course is really challenging and i definitely put it down when i needed to today. even though i m not in the finals, i landed, which is better than not landing! not to be, then, for katie 0rmerod. she still has a second snowboarding event to come here, but her hopes of bringing britain an early medal have ended in disappointment. there was better news, though, for britain s curlers, as bruce mouat and jen dodds secured another victory against the czech republic. after nearly throwing away a huge lead in their previous match, this time, no such problems. nicely done. oh, just enough. obviously quite a resilient team anyway, but that kind of proved it for us yesterday. so we just didn t want to let this one slip away. we really played welljust to see that one out. and after winning four of their first five matches, a place in the semifinals is now firmly in their sights. andy swiss, bbc news, beijing.
