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.
