Great Britain curler David Murdoch claims that the pleasure of winning silver in the men's curling competition outweighs the pain of losing in the final.

Great Britain athlete David Murdoch has reflected on his team's second-place finish in the men's curling competition at the Sochi Winter Olympics, claiming that "the pleasure outweighs the pain".

Team GB made it all the way to the final at the Ice Cube Curling Centre, before losing 9-3 to Canada.

Despite the defeat, Murdoch's team have nonetheless secured the competition's silver medal, and the skip told BBC Sport: "The pleasure outweighs the pain now.

"It was tough last night as we believed we could get gold. But you look back on this, to come away with silver, something we've chased for such a long time, it's been incredible."

The Great Britain men's curling team will be presented with their silver medals in a ceremony this evening at 5pm GMT.
