GB's men's curlers have qualified for the Winter Olympics semi-finals after beating Norway 6-5 in a tense play-off.
They will now face Sweden on Wednesday for a place in either the gold medal match, or the bronze game.
In a tight affair at the Ice Cube in Sochi, a superb final shot by skip David Murdoch, where he took out two Norway stones to score a double, saw Great Britain through.
Murdoch has finished fourth and fifth in the previous two Winter Olympics.
He said: 'It will certainly go up there as one of my best shots ever. It's just tremendous; it's great to get into the semi-finals. We've had fantastic support through the week and that game was absolutely incredible. '
Norway, who had a 7-6 victory over GB in the round-robin stage, were the first to get a score on the board when they took one in the first end and they traded singles and blank ends until the fifth end where skip Thomas Ulsrud made two.
Murdoch hit back with two in the eighth end and an error from Norway saw them score only one in the ninth, thus leading 5-4 but handing GB the hammer in the crucial final end.
It looked as though Britain would have to settle for a single and take it into an extra end but Ulsrud made a mistake with his final stone.
That left Murdoch with a chance to score two, which he duly took to the cheers of delight from his team-mates and the British fans who were in the arena.

Great Britain's men's curlers were denied a historic gold medal following a crushing defeat by Canada in Sochi.
Canada completed a hat-trick of victories dating back to the 2006 Turin Games with a dominant 9-3 triumph.
A win for skip David Murdoch's team would have given Britain more than one gold medal at a Winter Olympics for the first time.
Silver means Team GB have won four medals in Sochi, matching their best ever Winter Games haul in 1924.
It follows Lizzy Yarnold's skeleton gold and bronze medals for snowboard slopestyler Jenny Jones as well as the women's curling.
After winning five and losing four of their round robin fixtures Great Britain's men only made it through to the knock-out phase after coming through a tense play-off against Norway.
Three-time Olympian Murdoch then inspired them to an impressive win over reigning world champions Sweden in Wednesday's semi-finals.
However, the signs were ominous for Great Britain from the opening end where they found themselves 2-0 down, which became 5-1 after just three ends with Greg Drummond, Scott Andrews and Michael Goodfellow appearing to be suffering from nerves.
The interval break after five ends failed to revitalise Great Britain's fortunes as the slipped 8-2 behind before conceding defeat with two regulation ends remaining and the score at 9-3.
'We just never got off to a good start,' said Murdoch. "

Sweden's men claimed Winter Olympic bronze after defeating China 6-4 in a dramatic sudden-death 11th end at the Ice Cube Curling Centre in Sochi.
World champions Sweden lost to Great Britain in Wednesday's semi-finals and by beating China avoided finishing fourth for a second successive Games.
China, were in a commanding position in the ninth end, but errors cost them a first-ever men's Olympic curling medal.
The British men will contest for Olympic gold with Canada at 13:30 GMT.
China led 4-3 heading into the last regulation end - the tenth - but would have been in a more dominant position but for a surprise error from their skip Rui Liu
He failed to release his first stone before it passed the hog line meaning it was 'burnt' and annulled - and thus the advantage was handed back to Sweden.
Lui's team-mate Xiaoming Xu bafflingly repeated that mistake in the crucial sudden-death 11th end.
With Swedish skip Niklas Edin placing his final two stones to perfection it gave his nation their first men's Olympic curling medal since the sport debuted at the 1924 Chamonix Games.

The tagline of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games - seen throughout Sochi - was 'Hot. Cool. Yours.'
But there has been another slogan on display here.
Located on the side of the new Formula 1 grandstand, currently being built near the Olympic Park, the phrase 'Russia - Great, New, Open' provides a better insight into how President Vladimir Putin wants the world to perceive his country now.
But with the final medals awarded, and the Olympic flame extinguished, has Russia achieved what it set out to do? Were the first Olympic Games to be staged in the country since 1980 a success?
And what are the wider implications for the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as it now turns its attention to future Games?
