Vicky Drummond made a remarkable comeback to competitive curling, teaming up with Euan Kyle to claim victory at the Scottish Curling Mixed Doubles Championship. The 33-year-old intensive care nurse, who had stepped away from the sport after winning gold at the 2022 Olympics, showcased her skills in Aberdeen this week.

Drummond and Kyle, a bronze medallist from this year's World Championship, displayed an impressive performance throughout the tournament, winning every match they played. Their flawless run culminated in a dominating 8-1 victory over Katie McMillan and Archie Hyslop in the final, which concluded after just five ends.

The runners-up had faced challenges, losing two of their six group matches but managed to secure a spot in the finals by defeating the previously unbeaten duo of Sophie Jackson and Duncan McFadzean in the semi-finals.

In a noteworthy twist, Eve Muirhead, Drummond's Olympic skip, also returned from retirement to compete in this tournament. However, Muirhead and her partner Bobby Lammie finished fourth in their seven-team section, failing to advance to the playoffs.

Drummond's victory not only marks a significant personal achievement but also adds excitement to the future of Scottish curling as she re-establishes herself on the competitive scene.
