Reigning champions the United States beat world number one side Britain in the men's curling, while favourites Sweden stormed to the top of the standings with a perfect start to their round-robin campaign at the National Aquatics Centre on Friday.
The British rink, led by Bruce Mouat, fought back from an early 5-2 deficit but the Americans took the decisive lead in a clinical penultimate end to emerge 9-7 winners.
"We felt no pressure in that moment," Edin said. "I feel so far that it's been a pretty much perfect start... If we don't make any big mistakes the game is basically already over. Switzerland played out a fairly defensive 6-3 victory over the Russian Olympic Committee, grabbing three points in the eighth end after both teams had blanked the previous two.
In the women's competition, South Korea's "Garlic Girls" bounced back from their opening night loss against Canada to topple European champions Britain 9-7 after the British quartet conceded four in the penultimate end when leading by one.
