has been opened against a russian competitior. alexander krushelnitsky, who won bronze in the curling, was one of 168 russian athletes judged to be "clean". he's suspected of using a banned substance. meanwhile, team gb's women's curling team have been making progress towards the medal rounds, as andy swiss reports from pyeongchang. the first ever bronze medal in mixed doubles curling... from delight to a doping controversy. barely a week after celebrating a bronze medal alongside his wife, anastasia, alexander krushelnitskiy could now be stripped of it. but his is a case with far broader implications. bronze medallist olympic athletes from russia... krushelnitskiy is russian. his country is banned from these games because of... guess what? a huge doping scandal. olympic organisers allowed him and 160 other russians to compete as neutrals. now, though, it is an all too familiar story. there was very good pregames testing, where, for example, the russian athletes were tested to a significant level more than others.
10:31 pm
but when an athlete... in the broadest sense, when an athlete is caught for doping, if caught, it is extremely disappointing, but it does show that the system works. well, the decision to allow russian athletes to compete here, albeit as neutrals, attracted criticism before the games, so this positive test raises some uncomfortable questions for the olympic authorities. it's very frustrating that halfway through the games those stories come back. you don't want any positive tests in any olympics, but for it to be an athlete from a country that you were told all the athletes would be clean, it's hard news to take. away from the controversy in the curling, there was encouraging news for britain's teams. victories for both the men and women boosting their hopes of the semifinals. on the snow, though, aimee fuller's hopes here came to a painful end. the event is called big air, but in this case, not quite enough. she later posted this photo, bruised, but thankfully no worse. but the day's biggest drama was in the two—man bobsleigh.
10:32 pm
oh, it's a dead heat! it is a dead heat! canada and germany sharing the gold. on a difficult day for the games, a welcome show of olympic spirit. it is now tuesday morning in pyeongchang. the biggest drama today could be in the speed skating. will elise christie be fit to race in the 1000 metres? she has crashed in both of her events so far. the british tea m of her events so far. the british team will be hoping itjust might be third time lucky. that's it. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. hello, welcome to sports davis cup the headlines tonight, manchester city's quadruple hopes extinguished by a man on fire. will grigg ‘s‘s thought gives wigan and fa cup shock for the ages. it is getting to the must win stage for the gb curlers
10:33 pm
for the men and the women get exactly that to keep their semifinal hopes alive. wayne bennett signed a new two—year contract to sign as head coach of the england rugby league team but is not guaranteed to still be in the job for the next world cup. hello, 2013, it was the final. in 2014, the last eight. now in 2018, the fifth round. wigan have proved once again they are manchester city's fa cup nemesis, and in beating the premier league leaders 1-0 beating the premier league leaders 1—0 tonight, the league1 1—0 tonight, the league 1 club have ended city's chances of a quadruple. now we can go and talk to olly foster who has been there to watch the match. ollie, if ever a bogey
10:34 pm
tea m the match. ollie, if ever a bogey team existed... absolutely, yes. you know, 2013 is written very large in the history of wigan. yes, it was the history of wigan. yes, it was the year that they got relegated, of course, but also the year of the greatest day when they defied all the odds to beat manchester city with that late, late goal. it was a late goal here as well. the pitch has held up pretty well because about 2000, 3000 maybe, wigan fans invaded the pitch afterwards. it was very special, not as special as a cup final, but to beat manchester city, who have just cup final, but to beat manchester city, who havejust beaten cup final, but to beat manchester city, who have just beaten almost everybody in front of them this season, everybody in front of them this season, no more everybody in front of them this season, no more quadruple for them. it is nowjust a treble. the road to wembley is over for them. joseph kendrick was wigan's mascot in the 2013 cup final when they beat manchester city. he welcomed the players onto the pitch tonight. anthony taylor was one of the wembley officials five years ago.
10:35 pm
good omens perhaps. he would certainly make his mark on the match. will grigg's on fire, so goes the wigan charm. this was just a spark. no one has scored more goals than the nora shiloh —— northern ocean the fa cup this season to stop a reckless challenge from fabian delph clinched the match was top taylor reached for a yellow, an error or a change of heart? red was the order that section, for most of city's second half, but remember that first tough warning, wigan's extra man finally counted, and who else, will grigg, fired wigan into the quarterfinals. cup joy once again for wigan at city's expense list of it won't hurt them as much as that cup final five years ago, but they're crossed for a quadruple has been crushed. it feels great, doesn't it? it is such a severe test for you never think is that they are such a strong side, so mini good
10:36 pm
players, they move the ball so well. they go from side to side. no matter what you do, we had to ride your luck at times. the sending—off is a big incident in the game. we had to ride out with a couple of flashing crosses. but that is what makes the fa cup so special. we have regrets, the way we played, the performance, oui’ the way we played, the performance, our heart, it is the same. sol judge my players for the intentions, not the results, and the intentions always was good, during the season, today as well. but the fact is we are out of the fa cup. we wanted to go through to play against southampton at home, but wigan also won, so congratulate them. so a pretty measured response from pep guardiola. but you sense the real disappointment, every team starts the season with a chance of a quadruple, if they are in europe, but the city it has lasted longer than most but it is now over. it certainly is, yes. pep guardiola very measured. the football
10:37 pm
association will want to look at a couple of things that were not so measured and calm. that flash point before half—time, that fabian delph challenge when although city players surrounded the referee was at half—time there was a very heated pep guardiola who approached the referee taylor to try to get some verification in some way as to why he initially showed a yellow and then a read. i think the fa will wait for anthony taylor's report. the pitch invasion wasjoyous, but the stewards made no attempt whatsoever to stop the fans getting on the pitch. they would have struggled anyway. there was a flash point ago because of those city players were caught up still on the pitch, and a couple of those wigan fa ns pitch, and a couple of those wigan fans try to have a go at sergio
10:38 pm
aguero, one of those players who was caught up in it. they didn't get to him but it could have been quite nasty. also, there were 5000 manchester city fans here this evening. the segregation did not work either at the full—time whistle, and they confronted some of those wigan fans as well. yes, wigan are the bogey came and knocked them out of the cup three times in the space of five years now. but there will be a bit of fallout after this tie. the most immediate concern for manchester city is that there quadruple is now just manchester city is that there quadruple is nowjust a treble. and it could be down to a double if they don't beat arsenal in six days' time in the league cup final. all good things come to an end, but a very special evening that breathes life into the fa cup in many ways. wigan from league1 into the fa cup in many ways. wigan from league 1 very close to the top of league1 from league 1 very close to the top of league 1 beating the from league 1 very close to the top
10:39 pm
of league1 beating the mighty manchester city. but still a few things the fa will want to have a look at around this time. it is what the fa cup is all about. thank you very much indeed. so, then. they turn at the winter olympics is just turning into day 11 as things stand in pyeongchang. day ten was a day where doping once again became an issue with news of that and highs, lows and the odds tumble the team gb, our sports correspondent, and swiss. the first ever bronze medal in mixed doubles curling. from delight to a doping controversy. ba rely delight to a doping controversy. barely a week after celebrating a bronze medal alongside his wife anastasia, alexander could now be stripped of it. but his is a case with far broader implications. he is russian. his country is banned from these games because of, guess what, a huge doping scandal. olympic
