On Wednesday Team GB’s women curlers remained undefeated at the European Youth Olympic Winter Festival and guaranteed themselves at least a bronze medal after defeating hosts Poland 5-1. 

Not to be out done, however, the men’s team also convincingly defeated the hosts 12-1 and later in the day beat Denmark 6-4 to guarantee that they too would be heading home with a medal.

Meanwhile tough conditions on the cross country course challenged Team GB’s skiers.  Callum Smith (Inverurie) finished 53rd in the men’s 10km Freestyle with team-mate William Newman (Huntly) 66th.

In the women’s 7.5km Freestyle race Deborah May (Huntly) finished 56th and Lauren Spencer (Gloucester) 60th.
