Eve Muirhead: 'Curling's not just for the older generation'

Great Britain curling skip Eve Muirhead wants to see more young people take up the sport after her side's success at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

Great Britain curling skip Eve Muirhead is hopeful that her side's performance at the 2014 Winter Olympics will drive more young people to take up the sport.

The 23-year-old is participating in her second Games, while her teammates in Sochi Anna Sloan - Claire Hamilton and Vicki Adams are all in their early-to-mid 20's, bucking the suggested stereotype of the sport.

"A lot of people look at curling and think it's a sport for the older generation, but that's not the case and hopefully a lot more young people can get involved," Muirhead told BBC Sport.

Team GB face off against Canada in the semi-finals of the Winter Olympics later today.
