Eve Muirhead: Ice Queen tells the story of Eve Muirhead's fairy tale career conclusion β€” an Olympic gold medal to complete the set.

Born a Perthshire farmer's daughter, Eve was multi-talented in sport and inherited her father's love of, and talent for, the 'roaring game' of curling. Yet, the road from child prodigy to best in the world wasn't a straight line. This is a story of hidden adversity, sporting escapism, inner doubt, and external pressure.

Teammates and coaches changed, but the resolve of Britain's Ice Queen to fight for her golden ending at a fourth and final Winter Olympics refused to melt. Eve Muirhead changed her sport and will now change perceptions of what it took to become a leader, a role model, and a national icon as one of Scotland's most successful ever athletes.

This is her story.
