Drummond wins mixed doubles title on return to curling

Vicky Drummond marked her return to competitive curling in style, partnering Euan Kyle to an emphatic victory at the Scottish Curling Mixed Doubles Championship.The 33-year-old intensive care nurse left the sport shortly after winning gold at the 2022 Olympics.Drummond (nee Wright) and Kyle, a bronze medallist from this year's World Championship, won every match they played in Aberdeen this week.Their 100% run culminated with an 8-1 victory over Katie McMillan and Archie Hyslop in the final, which was over after a mere five ends.The runners-up lost two of their six group matches but edged out the previously unbeaten partnership of Sophie Jackson and Duncan McFadzean in their semi-final.Drummond's Olympic skip, Eve Muirhead, 36, also came out of retirement for this tournament.However, Team GB's chef de mission at this year's Olympics did not progress to the play-offs as she and Bobby Lammie finished fourth in their seven-team section.
