Eve Muirhead looks ahead to 2022 Olympics following MBE award

The 30-year-old is a former junior and senior world champion who skipped her team to Olympic bronze in Sochi.

Eve Muirhead has admitted the news of her MBE for services to curling helped ease the bitter memories of narrowly missing out on a second Olympic medal at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in 2018.

The 30-year-old, a former junior and senior world champion who skipped her team to Olympic bronze in Sochi in 2014, agonisingly missed out on repeating the feat four years later when she sent down an errant final stone against Japan.

But having worked hard to shrug off that disappointment, and also the effects of a hip operation which briefly threatened her future in the sport, Muirhead says the recognition will spur her on towards what she is convinced will be another shot at Olympic glory.

While surgery has given Muirhead's career a new lease of life, she acknowledged her mind is beginning to stray towards the end of a career that has seen her become the youngest skip to win both the women's world title, in 2013, and her Olympic bronze medal in Sochi.

"Curling has been a huge part of my life and when I do finish curling I want to give back to the sport," Muirhead added. "I think I would find it very hard not to be involved in the sport when I finish competing.

"I just feel like I want to give back to a sport that has given me so much throughout my career, including now the MBE. It shows I have been appreciated and I want to help as many people as possible achieve their own dreams in the sport."
