BEIJING :Eve Muirhead and her rink screamed in delight after leading Britain to their first gold medal of the Beijing Games by soaring to a sensational 10-3 victory over Japan in the women's curling final on Sunday.
Eve Muirhead can be considered as one of curling’s greatest ever skips after guiding Team GB to women’s curling gold at the Winter Olympics, according to her counterpart Bruce Mouat. At her fourth Olympics, the 31-year-old made up for previous heartbreak at the Games by securing her rink a dominant win over Japan in the Beijing final. Ad/> Mouat was watching on in the Ice Cube after an emotional few days, having won silver in the men’s competition and been told he had been selected as Great Britain’s flagbearer for the closing ceremony.
Bruce Mouat says having the honour of being Team GB’s flagbearer for the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics will be the “proudest moment” of his life, capping a whirlwind few days for the silver medal winning men’s curling skip. Mouat was in the Ice Cube to watch Eve Muirhead guide the women’s rink to gold by thrashing Japan in the final, less than 24 hours after an agonising defeat by Sweden in a match which went to an extra end. Ad/> Not long after, Mouat was told by Great Britain's Chef de Mission Georgie Harland that he had been chosen to carry the Union flag into the closing ceremony and he says it capped a rollercoaster day.
Great Britain were Friday stripped of their silver medal in the men's 4x100 metres relay at last year's Tokyo Olympics after CJ Ujah was found to have committed a doping violation. Ujah tested positive for the prohibited substances ostarine and S-23, commonly used to build muscle, after the race on August 6. The British team just lost out to Italy for the gold medal in Japan. Canada are expected to be awarded silver, with China promoted to the bronze-medal position. A statement from the Court of Arbitration for Sport's anti-doping division said: "Ujah is sanctioned with the disqualification of his results in the 4x100m sprint relay final... together with the forfeiture of any medals, diplomas, points and prizes."
The last British curling gold at the Winter Olympics came 20 years ago in Salt Lake City — “what took them so long?!” joked the skip who guided them to that victory, after Eve Muirhead’s rink topped the podium in Beijing. Rhona Howie, better known by her previous name, Rhona Martin, has described Team GB’s dominant win over Japan as “phenomenal” for the sport in the UK.
Bookended by Nathan Chen "rocketing" to gold and Sui Wenjing and Han Cong capturing the heart of a nation, the figure skating event was one to remember at the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022.
David Murdoch hailed Great Britain’s newly-crowned Olympic champions and predicted that Eve Muirhead could go on to become one of the sport’s greats.
