- Eve Muirhead’s team dominate 10-3 final against Japan
- Comes 20 years after Rhona Martin’s ‘Stone of Destiny’
They came, they curled, they conquered. And finally, after so much disappointment at these Winter Olympics, Team GB was finally able to celebrate its first gold medal. It came on the very last morning of these Games, courtesy of their women’s curling team, who thrashed Japan 10-4 in a display of ice-cold precision.
It also capped a remarkable comeback for Eve Muirhead’s team, who had initially struggled to qualify for these Games, battled Covid before a final qualifying tournament in December, and then needed a combination of results to go their way to sneak their way into the semi-finals.
