GB curling legend Eve Muirhead has a new role this year as the team’s Chef de Mission. The Scot, who won a gold and a bronze during her career is tasked with passing on her experience and to be a link from organisers to the medal hopefuls.

Muirhead said: « Let’s say it is different being an athlete, but I’m loving it.

« Long days and sleepless nights, but it is definitely worth it.

« This is what they have trained for years and years. I am loving it and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I lead, manage and support the full delegation.

« There is the odd challenge that come up, but there is the solution to a challenge. I want to bring a sense of calm

« We try our best to make it the best experience for the athletes. If you’re a happy athlete then there is more chance you can win. »
