Mixed doubles curling becomes an Olympic sport at the 2018 winter Games in Pyeonghang.
You won’t see a Muirhead brother and sister combination going for gold in two years’ time.
But Eve teaming up with either Glen or Thomas at some point would seem like a two plus two equals four piece of sporting arithmetic.
“You can’t do both (womens/mens and mixed),” said Eve. “You’d have to go for either or.
“I know in Canada they have quite a few mixed doubles competitions and one of their top teams is Jennifer Jones and Brent Laing, who are married.
“For me personally, first things first. I’d definitely go for the team at the Olympics. But I would never write off mixed doubles with another Muirhead.”
Glen is keen to see the British Olympic and curling authorities put a plan into action, with the next Games less than two years away.
“It’s not been a focus of any of the top level curlers to be honest,” he said. “Or the hierarchy who are involved in structures and funding.
“But because it’s an Olympic sport we have to start taking it seriously.
“It will be interesting to see what happens. Will it be that you get a crack at the four-man team and if you don’t get into that you’re opening up a chance for the mixed doubles? Or it might be that you have to decide in advance which one you’re going for and prepare for one or the other.”
And the prospect of teaming up with Eve?
“You would like to think it could happen,” he said. “It sounds good. But it’s not anything that’s ever been talked about.”
