Muirhead wants to be role model like Howie

Eve Muirhead has not decided on her curling future after achieving the "dream" of gold at last month's Winter Olympics.

Her rink defeated Japan to win Team GB's only gold medal in Beijing.

Muirhead, who has appeared at four Olympics, added to the bronze she won in Sochi in 2014.

"Can you ever go higher than getting an Olympic gold medal? No, so we'll see what happens," the 31-year-old told BBC Scotland.

Muirhead added: "I have not decided what I'm going to do going forward just yet. I need to take this time to enjoy it with the team. My team are due as much praise as what I am.

"We'll take some time to celebrate this medal and then I guess we need to sit down and think what's going to happen going forward.

"But I can more or less guarantee you'll definitely see some of my team-mates back at another Olympic Games.

"I am very competitive. I'm very competitive at every single thing I do. I don't ever give up on anything. This was a dream of mine, this was a goal."
