Wheelchair curling differs from Olympic curling in that the teams are required to be mixed-gender and since no sweeping is allowed to keep a rock straight, shooting has to be precise.
Wheelchair curling only has eight ends compared to 10 in traditional curling, so the mid-game break comes after the fourth end.
And today, in the opening game, Canada beat Great Britain 9-2 in seven ends, in what was a rematch of the gold medal final from four years ago in Torino.
I hope the GB wheelchair curling team is not going to go the same way as the Olympic team
