Hammy McMillan admitted he could hardly bear to look at his Olympic silver medal on Saturday night after falling short of the ultimate prize in the men’s curling final.

The British side of McMillan, skip Bruce Mouat, Grant Hardie and Bobby Lammie saw the match against Canada slip from their grasp when conceding a costly three points in the penultimate end, a blow from which they could not recover as they were defeated 9-6.
