Eve Muirhead guided Great Britain to curling gold with a comprehensive win over Japan in the Olympic final.
Twenty years after Rhona Martin’s famous victory in Salt Lake City, Muirhead needed no ‘Stone of Destiny’ drama to achieve her lifelong ambition of leading her Great Britain women’s curling team to glory.
In her fourth Winter Games, the 31-year-old Muirhead and her team of Vicky Wright, Jennifer Dodds and Hailey Duff, plus alternate Mili Smith, dominated their final against Japan, ruthlessly sealing a 10-3 win – the joint-biggest winning margin in a final since the sport was reintroduced in 1998.
