Great Britain skip Eve Muirhead took the pressure in her stride as she delivered the winning stone to beat world champions China in their opening round-robin match at the Vancouver Olympic Centre.
rolex replicaMuirhead, Jackie Lockhart, Kelly Wood and Lorna Evers had been hoping to score a surprise win against the traditionally slow- starting Chinese, skipped by Bingyu Wang, and they did just that, clinching a 5-4 victory in an extra 11th end.
Making her Olympic debut, Muirhead, 19, had the hammer, or final stone, at the end of the 11th with a Chinese stone in a scoring position, but the British skip took it out and left hers closest to the button to score the winning point and seal victory.
"I've skipped for several years now so that's what you have to do, especially in an atmosphere like that with thousands of people watching and back home," Muirhead said.

The skip said a victory over the Chinese in their opening match of nine round-robin games was a significant boost at the start of Britain's Olympic campaign.
"We're delighted with that, especially against Wang, the world champions," Muirhead said. "To get off to a good start is crucial for us and if you don't these games come back to haunt you at the end of the week."
