Team GB's women's curling skip Eve Muirhead is savouring a "special" bronze medal in Sochi but is also targeting more success in the future alongside her young team.

Team GB's women's curling skip Eve Muirhead has hinted that their bronze medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi is just the start for her young group.

The Scot, alongside teammates Anna Sloan, Vicki Adams, Claire Hamilton and alternate Lauren Gray, beat Switzerland on the last stone in the third-place playoff.

Muirhead is savouring this "special" moment while it lasts, but has one eye on what she predicts could be a big future for her all-Scottish outfit.

"Ever since I was a young girl, one of my main goals was to win the World Championships," she told reporters "But when you do win an Olympic medal it's just as special.

"We're the youngest team here, average age of 23. We have a lot of time ahead of us. When we can prove we can win Olympic medals and have the maturity to do that, it shows we have a big future ahead of us. What a dream come true. The Olympic medal was the one medal we have been missing, and for me to win it with four of my best friends seems so special.

"But every athlete needs to learn how to lose before they can win. First, they need to learn how to get up from defeat. To lose the semi-final and know you have to come back and play for that bronze medal is extra tough, and it showed how strong we are."

Great Britain's men's curling team go for gold against Canada in Sochi on Friday afternoon.
