Winter Olympic silver medallist Greg Drummond insists Team GB’s men’s curling silver is an achievement that needs to be celebrated after watching their nail-biting final at a special event in Edinburgh to celebrate the National Lottery players’ vital role in funding British athletes.
Skip Bruce Mouat, Grant Hardie, Hammy McMillan and Bobby Lammie couldn’t quite bring a gold home on Saturday morning as they slipped to a nerve-jangling 5-4 defeat against Sweden at the Ice Cube. But they have made the nation proud with their amazing run to the final over the past week, resulting in a fantastic silver Olympic medal.
Drummond, who scooped silver at Sochi 2014 as part of David Murdoch’s - current Team GB coach - rink, was speaking at Curl Edinburgh as he roared on Mouat’s Olympic heroes and helped celebrate the funding from The National Lottery and government.
