'I feel a little bit more free' Eve Muirhead reflects on Olympic gold and calling time on curling
"Dancing in front of the Strictly audience would give me the complete fear. I'd rather eat those disgusting things on I'm A Celeb."
But looking back to last December, it could have been oh so different for the Team GB skip who had to be convinced to step foot on the ice again.Ever since clinching bronze at the Games in Sochi, a nation would rally every four years to witness Muirhead and her rink attempt to bring home gold. As the face of British curling for most of her career, it seemed only a matter of time.
"But I managed to pull myself round after getting quite a lot of help. I wasn't well, but I was well enough to go back to ice. I went back, knuckled down and focused on myself. "You get that taste of medal success and, once you get the bronze, you just want that gold. You see others getting them." Muirhead admits that, after catching up on her sleep, the decision to call time on her illustrious career - including gold at the Olympics, World Championships, European doubles, World Mixed Doubles and three times at the Europeans - was difficult as well as swift.
