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.
Eve Muirhead paid tribute to her fellow team members after Great Britain swept to their first Olympic curling gold medal since Rhona Martin’s historic triumph in 2002.

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.
Eve Muirhead could barely hide her disbelief after Great Britain produced a commanding showing to win Winter Olympic curling gold. Breaking Team GB's Beijing 2022 gold medal duck, the skip and her rink played virtually flawlessly at the Ice Cube, not even requiring the final end. Ad/> Japan settled for silver at 10-3 down after the ninth end, with 2014 bronze medallist Muirhead leading from the front with an outstanding performance both with and without the hammer to control a one-sided victory.
Great Britain, at the final time of asking, secured the first Team GB gold medal of the Winter Olympics early Sunday in emphatic fashion.
It took until the final hours of Beijing 2022 but Great Britain finally have a Winter Olympic gold medal. Eve Muirhead's outstanding women's rink followed the achievement of Rhona Martin's British team at Salt Lake City in 2002, dominating Japan in a final thrashing in which there rarely seemed doubt of who would be standing atop the podium — and in the end victory was achieved with an end to spare.
The women’s curling final at the Winter Olympics sees GB take on Japan at the Beijing National Aquatics centre. Eve Muirhead and her team have a guaranteed silver at worst, but are chasing GB’s first gold of the Games on the final day of action. Ad/> Bruce Mouat and the GB men agonisingly lost 5-4 to world champions Sweden in the first extra end in their final on Saturday.
