"I was trying to chase back down and I messed up at another corner. It wasn't the cleanest, which was a shame because I qualified really well yesterday and it felt good in practice."Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Zyw will be hoping to compete in the banked slalom events later in the programmeAnd Scott Meenagh finished a distant 18th in the men's Para-biathlon individual seated event – over eight minutes behind Chinese gold medallist Zixu Liu.At the curling, GB, who had lost to Slovakia before a dramatic extra-end win over the United States on Saturday, had an early worry with an issue to Austin McKenzie's wheelchair brakes which forced them to take a technical time out.After a scoreless opening end, GB had a steal in the second end to take the lead but Canada scored in both the third and fourth ends – the latter a steal for a 2-1 interval advantage.GB levelled it in the fifth end but despite having four scoring stones at one point late in the sixth end, Canada skip Mark Ideson sent down a well-placed final stone to ensure GB were just 3-2 up.The seventh end proved a nervy affair with errors on both sides but Ideson was short with his last stone, allowing GB to steal one for a 4-2 lead going into the final end but with their opponents having last-stone advantage.And with the pressure on, Nibloe failed to find the target with his final stones as Canada showed their class to claim their second win out of two.GB will continue their mixed team programme against Korea on Monday (08:35 GMT) while the mixed doubles pair of Jo Butterfield and Jason Kean take on unbeaten China at 13:35 on Sunday hoping to stay on track for the semi-finals.Winter SportsDisability Sport
