Winter Olympics update: Team GB's curling team advances to final, while Keely Hodgkinson sets new indoor 800m record

The Winter Olympics have seen a flurry of activity, with Team GB's men's curling team advancing to the final and Keely Hodgkinson breaking the indoor 800m world record.

The curling team, led by skip Bruce Mouat, secured an 8-5 win over Switzerland in the semi-finals, describing the match as the "hardest fought win we've ever had" (BBC). The team will now face off against Sweden in the final, which they describe as the "biggest match of our lives" (BBC).

Meanwhile, Keely Hodgkinson has broken the long-standing women's indoor 800m world record, set by Slovenia's Jolanda Ceplak on the day the Briton was born almost 24 years ago. Hodgkinson's impressive performance has sent shockwaves through the athletics world, cementing her status as a rising star.

In freestyle skiing, Eileen Gu continues to dominate the competition. The 22-year-old Chinese-American skier has won six medals, including three golds, making her the most decorated freestyle skier in the history of the Games (Getty Images). Gu's success has made her a global superstar, with a bank balance to match. She has been named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world and has become a household name in China, where she is affectionately known as the "snow princess".

Team GB's Zoe Atkin is also making waves in the freestyle skiing competition, qualifying top for the women's freeski halfpipe final with a score of 91.50. Atkin's performance has raised hopes for a British medal in the event.

As the Winter Olympics continue, Team GB's athletes are making a strong showing, with multiple medal opportunities on the horizon. With the curling team advancing to the final and Hodgkinson breaking the indoor 800m record, British fans have plenty to cheer about.
