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 Mc Millan 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 Mc Fadzean in their semi-final. Drummond's Olympic skip, Eve Muirhead, 36, also came out of retirement for this tournament but did not advance to the play-offs.
