OLYMPIC curling champion Eve Muirhead revealed today her stunning competitive performance at Beijing earlier this year would be her last at the major international sporting event, after announcing her retirement.

Muirhead skippered Team GB to gold at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, adding to bronze from Sochi 2014, and also claimed world and European titles during her career.

“After 15 years of international curling and 21 international titles I have made the hardest decision of my life to hang up my curling shoes and retire,” Muirhead said in a post on social media.
