Great Britain defeated Japan 10-3 on Sunday (Saturday ET) to win gold in women's curling at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

Great Britain led 2-0 after one end and held on to a 4-2 advantage after six before pouring it on in the seventh with four more points thanks to a phenomenal throw from skip Eve Muirhead:
