Scotland men and women both have two wins out of two at the European Curling Championships in Ostrava in the Czech Republic.

Fay Henderson's rink defeated Turkey 7-4 on Wednesday after a comprehensive 12-3 victory over Denmark on Tuesday.

Against Turkey, Scotland women were two up after the first end but trailed by the the end of the third before picking up a three. Turkey got back within one after the sixth but a two at the next end got the Scots over the line.

In the opener, they edged the opening two ends by single points before the Danes halved the deficit. However, the Scots took control, surging into a five-point lead by the close of the fourth end.

Although Denmark scored two points in the fifth, Scotland ended the contest emphatically with a six-point haul in the sixth and final end.

Both of Scotland men's opening ties took place on Wednesday - an 8-4 win over the Netherlands and a 9-2 victory against Belgium.

Grant Hardie's rink picked up two at the opening end and three at the third to lead the Dutch 5-1. It was 6-4 after six ends but Scotland picked up two more at the seventh to see out the win.

Scotland men were 7-0 up after two ends against the Belgians, who picked up a single at the third and another at the fifth for 8-2 but a final single at the sixth completed the Scots' win.

Scotland women face Sweden on Thursday (08:30 GMT), with the round-robin match live on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.
