Eve Muirhead faced 'dark times' on journey to Olympic gold as she prepares for new career

Eve Muirhead’s life may look very different now that her competitive curling career is behind her, but that relentless drive is still as evident now as it was then.

The 32-year-old famously skippered her Team GB women’s side to curling gold at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games in February this year - adding to her bronze medal from the Sochi 2014 Games - before she decided to retire in August after achieving “everything she dreamt of”. But while she may have stepped away from competing, she is by no means done with curling.

This weekend Muirhead will be making her commentary debut on Eurosport and discovery+ at the WCF European Curling Championships in Ostersund, Sweden, taking place from 18-26 November. The Perth Olympian will be joined by established voices David Smith and Richard Vaughan and she will also be penning an exclusive column on Eurosport.com. On top of all that she is also nominated for Action Woman of the Year 2022 at tonight's BT Sport's Action Women Awards.
