🚨📣”How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.” 📣🚨 Announcement 👀 After 15 years of international Curling and 21 International titles I have made the hardest decision of my life to hang up my curling shoes and retire. Throughout my career and like most athletes, I have experienced both the highest of the highs,(becoming an Olympic Champion) and the lowest of lows and at times the future seemed very distant. It’s been an emotional journey but a journey that I am incredibly proud of. Behind every athlete is a team and I have had the opportunity to work with some of the best and therefore there are many thanks to be made. I can’t thank everyone here but will do so individually I hope over the coming weeks. To every single teammate I have had the privilege of playing with, I would like to thank you for your hard work and dedication, this comes from the bottom of my heart. To all my sponsors over the years, I simply couldn’t have achieved what I have without your involvement. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the National Lottery and UK Sport. We as athletes are so fortunate to be supported by them. The next mention must go to British Curling and Scottish Curling. Being Skip and Representing Team Muirhead, Great Britain and Scotland over the years has been a real honour, and one I have never taken for granted. To my loyal supporters who have always been there, from home and away around the world, you’ve been second to none. And to my family and friends, thank you for always backing me and supporting any decision I have made. I love you and I can’t wait to spend more time with you. Retiring from curling as a current European, World and Olympic champion is something I always dreamt of, and I am signing off with a huge smile on my face. With regards to what’s next... I’m looking forward to exploring more opportunities and getting my golf clubs out...but watch this space! For all enquiries please contact Beckie Smith - 📧 [email protected]
