Edinburgh is no stranger to winter olympians, especially those with a curling background, like recent superstars Jenn Dodds and Bruce Mouat.
But father-of-three Luke Samuels, from Edinburgh, has turned heads as he reveals his dream to join Jamaica’s curling team at the Italy 2026 Games - after taking up the sport just last year.
The 38-year-old is the first ever UK-Jamaican curler to represent the Caribbean side. As a child he always dreamed of competing on behalf of Jamaica - a country he feels a deep sense of patriotism for through his late grandad Edwin Luther Samuels.
