Team GB Curling: Silver to 2030 Gold Dream?
24 Feb
Summary
- Team GB's curling team won silver at the recent Winter Olympics.
- They are considering a return for the 2030 Olympics in France.
- The team's oldest members are 33 and may be too old for elite sport.
Team GB's silver medal-winning curling squad has voiced their ambition to compete for gold at the 2030 Winter Olympics, which are scheduled to be held in France. This aspiration follows their recent second-place finish.
The team, which included Bruce Mouat, Grant Hardie, Hammy McMillan, and Bobby Lammie, with Kyle Waddell as alternate, entered the recent competition as world champions but ultimately lost to Canada.
This silver medal marks their second Olympic runners-up achievement, following a similar outcome in China four years prior. Hammy McMillan noted the trend of younger athletes entering elite sports but remained open to participation.
McMillan and Grant Hardie, both 33, would be 37 if they competed in 2030. They plan to discuss their future plans during the summer break to determine the feasibility of a four-year campaign.
