Team GB's women's curling skipper Eve Muirhead has praised her team for their improvement in the 12-3 win over the United States on Tuesday afternoon.

Great Britain responded to an opening-day defeat to Sweden with their thumping win, and Muirhead said that discussions with the coach were key to their win.

"I think that was more like Team Muirhead out there today," she told BBC Sport. "I think yesterday there were a few areas we struggled with, but we went back and had a good chat with our coach to nail down what we didn't do well.

"Today we changed that, we came out strong from the start and really didn't give them much of a chance. As the week goes on hopefully we can get better and better."

GB take on Canada on Wednesday in their next encounter.
