EVE’S A STONE-COLD SAVIOUR

- FROM JAMES TONEY

EVE MUIRHEAD kept ice cool to deliver a shot that kept alive her Olympic curling dreams.

The British skip knew she could not afford to lose to her Swiss rivals, but was trailing 7-6 heading into the final end of a tense encounter.

And she produced the goods with her last rock, meaning it is all to play for with two group matches remaining.

Scot Muirhead, 27, said: “I could see about an inch of that stone.

“I train for those shots every day and nine times out of 10 I’d make them. But it is different when the pressure is on and you’re on the biggest stage of all.”
