MUIRHEAD CLINCHES WORLD MIXED TITLE

-

CURLING: Eve Muirhead added the world mixed doubles title to her Olympic crown after claiming victory alongside Bobby Lammie in Geneva.

The Scotland pair (below) held off a late fightback by Switzerlan­d to earn a 9-7 win, making

Muirhead the first woman to complete the full house of Olympic, world, European and mixed curling titles. Muirhead and

Lammie, an Olympic silver medallist in

Beijing, succeeded compatriot­s Bruce Mouat and Jennifer Dodds, who won the title in Aberdeen last year.

‘t’s been a phenomenal year,” said Muirhead, who led Team GB to Winter Olympics gold in February.

‘To cap it off, playing with Bobby was really special.

‘I’m absolutely delighted to get another gold medal and I’m sure we’ll enjoy the celebratio­ns.’
