Curling Queen Makes Comeback

10th August 2026

GB’s Eve Muirhead is aiming to compete in the mixed doubles at the 2030 Winter Olympics.

The 36 year old is a four-time Olympian, Olympic gold medalist and world champion.

She partners up with Bobby Lammie who she won the world title with in 2022, her final year before retirement.

“People thought my story in curling was finished. Olympic champion. Chef de Mission. But standing alongside Team GB reminded me where I belong,” Eve Muirhead.

“So I’m coming out of retirement, chasing one last Olympic dream because I believe there’s one last Olympic chapter to write.”

After the 2026 Winter Games, British Curling approached her with the chance to compete in mixed doubles.

She will train as a ‘decentralised athlete’ from her home in England, and will be travelling regularly to the National Curling Academy in Stirling, Scotland.
