Team GB's men are through despite only winning five of their nine matches
Team GB's men's curlers are now just two victories away from a remarkable Winter Olympic gold after sneaking into Thursday's semi-finals in Cortina.
Bruce Mouat's world champions were on the brink of a shock early exit in Italy after losing their penultimate round-robin match to Canada.
However, a comprehensive victory over the United States on Wednesday - coupled with favourable results elsewhere - revived their hopes.
And Italy's defeat by Switzerland on Thursday morning ensured the British rink would advance to a last-four meeting with the unbeaten Swiss at 18:05 GMT.
