The Great Britain mixed wheelchair curling team suffered a heartbreaking 5-4 loss to 2022 Winter Paralympic bronze medallists Canada in their third round-robin match in Milan-Cortina.

The team of Karen Aspey, Austin McKenzie, Stewart Pimblett and Hugh Nibloe led 4-2 going into the final end but failed to execute their last stones and Canada, who had the last-stone advantage, picked up the three they needed to secure victory.

At the Para-snowboarding, Britain’s Davy Zyw was taken to hospital as a precaution after a fall during his Snowboard Cross UL (upper-limb) pre-heat.

The 38-year-old from Edinburgh is believed to be the first snowsport athlete with motor neurone disease to compete at the Games.

Team-mate James Barnes-Miller paid the price for a poor opening to his quarter-final in the same division and failed to advance.

“I messed up at the start,” he told BBC Sport. “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.”
