World Mixed Doubles Curling 2022: History for Eve Muirhead as Scotland beat Switzerland in gold medal final - Results and updates

Scotland beat Switzerland to win the 2022 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championships title in Geneva on Saturday (30 April).

Having previously won Olympic, World, and European titles, Scotland's Eve Muirhead became the only female curler to complete a rare quadruple of international titles by adding the mixed event crown. "That's the set for me," she said to World Curling afterwards.

The score of 9-7 was the winning margin for Muirhead and Scottish teammate Bobby Lammie.

"It's been a phenomenal year for myself and my girls at home and to cap it off today with Bobby was really special," Muirhead continued.

"Absolutely delighted to get another gold medal and I'm sure we'll enjoy the celebrations."

Muirhead and Lammie world class in Geneva

The Scottish double act came into the final with a 100% record and were in no mood to relinquish it in the one that mattered most.

They stormed into a 7-2 lead by half-time and looked like they might run away with it, Lammie setting the Scots up for a huge four-point score in the first end.

Switzerland's Sven Michel and Alina Paetz rallied and began to remember their lines and suddenly a Swiss comeback looked on the cards as they slid to within a point of the Scots.

But in the final two ends, Muirhead used all her experience and scored two points on her final stone to seal victory by 9-7.
