Winter Youth Olympics: Callie Soutar and Ethan Brewster claim GB's first curling mixed doubles gold

Callie Soutar and Ethan Brewster only lost one match during the round robin

Callie Soutar and Ethan Brewster have been crowned Winter Youth Olympic mixed doubles champions - becoming the first British pair to win a medal in the event.

Forfar 15-year-old Soutar and Aberdeen 16-year-old Brewster beat Denmark 7-6 in a tense final.

Logan Carson, Tia Laurie, Archie Hyslop and Holly Burke won Britain's first youth gold in the team event last week.

Brewster said that "inspired me a lot to try and do the same".

"The team event was great to watch last week and their final, when the Danish stone rolled off and Great Britain were left lying to win gold, honestly it was an amazing feeling," he said.

"Our campaign didn't start off too well, but towards the end of the competition I was feeling more inspired with other Team GB athletes winning medals and watching the figure skaters winning their bronze and knowing that we too could win a medal here was exciting.

"This really is a dream come true."

Before this year's competition, Team GB's only curling medal at a Youth Olympics had been by Ross Whyte along with China's Han Yu under the previous mixed doubles format that paired athletes from different nations after the team event.
