Curling star Drummond insists men's Olympic silver should be celebrated

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.
