Winter Olympics 2022 Team GB women's curlers: Who are Eve Muirhead, Jennifer Dodds, Hailey Duff, Vicky Wright and Mili Smith?

Britain’s women have the chance to take gold at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing when they face Japan in the final.

The British team is comprised of five Scots and skippered by Eve Muirhead. They defeated Sweden to reach the final, which is being played in the early hours of Sunday morning.

We talk you through the five women on the British rink:

Born in Perth, the 31-year-old skipper is competing in her fourth Winter Olympics. She made her debut in Vancouver in 2010 as a 19-year-old, but her rink struggled and did not get out of the group stage. However, she subsequently won the bronze medal at Sochi in 2014, defeating Switzerland 6-5 to become the youngest ever skip to win an Olympic medal. At the 2018 games in PyeongChang, Muirhead and her rink reached the bronze-medal play-off but lost to Japan. Away from the Olympics, she has won the European Championships three times and the World Championships on one occasion in 2013, as well as being the world junior champion in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011. Raised in Blair Atholl, her father Gordon was an accomplished curler and has two brothers, Glen and Thomas. She represents Dunkeld CC but is also an excellent golfer and plays the bagpipes. She received an honorary degree from Stirling University in 2018.

Dodds plays second on the British rink. Born in Edinburgh, the 30-year-old former office assistant is competing at her first Winter Olympics. A gold medallist at the World Mixed Double Championship alongside Bruce Mouat – a childhood friend – in 2021, she has also tasted success at the European Championships last year.

Duff was born into curling, with her father John the runner-up in at the 2020 Scottish Senior Championships. Born in Auckland, New Zealand, Duff’s family moved
