Eve Muirhead led Britain to the Olympic women’s curling gold medal – the first for the sport’s homeland since 2002

– pulling away with a four-ender in the seventh on Sunday for a record-setting 10-3 victory over Japan.

Japan could only manage one point in the eighth. When Muirhead tallied two in the ninth, Fujisawa slid over to bump fists and concede. Another roar arose from the crowd, which included the men’s silver medallists.

It was settled by the second tiebreaker: the distance from the button in a pregame, two-throw challenge. Britain and Japan finished eighth and ninth in the 10-team field to edge Canada, which was 10th.
