Winter Olympics 2026: Eve Muirhead cautious as GB eye record medal haul

Advertisements

Team GB will endeavour to secure their best ever Winter Olympics medal haul at next month’s Games in Italy – but chef du mission Eve Muirhead insists success in Milan-Cortina will not only be measured by podium places.

Britain returned from the 2018 event in Pyeongchang and the 2014 staging in Sochi four years before that with five medals. In Beijing last time, they won just two.

And while it will be a young team who travel this time, 2022 curling gold medallist Muirhead is optimistic that some can return with ribbons around their neck.

“We’ve got a young team, packed with potential, and they’ve got nine world medals among them from this season, which is the most we’ve ever had going into a Games,” she told BBC Sport.

“You can’t put a price on a medal, which I know better than anyone. But everyone has their own targets. That could be a top 10, top eight, it could be to win a medal.

“We have got the opportunity to get the most we ever have, but I’m not going to put a number on it.”
