Eve Muirhead commented: “I’m really excited to be working with Warner Bros. Discovery and Eurosport. It’s been an unbelievable year, and I can’t wait to experience competition from a different perspective. I’m looking forward to showing my passion for the sport and to remind people that curling goes beyond the Olympics and can be enjoyed in other ways."

Warner Bros. Discovery has announced that Eve Muirhead OBE will be in the commentary box for discovery+ and Eurosport’s live coverage of the WCF European Curling Championships, taking place in Ostersund, Sweden from 18-26 November.

Muirhead, from Perth, Scotland, captained Team GB women to curling gold at the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022, adding to her bronze medal from Olympic Games Sochi 2014, when at just 19 she became the youngest ever skip, male or female, to win an Olympic medal.

She recently announced her retirement, signing off her career as reigning World (mixed doubles), European (women’s team) and Olympic champion (women’s team).
