Team GB will endeavour to secure their best ever Winter Olympics medal haul at next month’s Games in Italy – but chef du mission Eve Muirhead insists success in Milan-Cortina will not only be measured by podium places.<\/p>\n
Britain returned from the 2018 event in Pyeongchang and the 2014 staging in Sochi four years before that with five medals. In Beijing last time, they won just two.<\/p>\n
And while it will be a young team who travel this time, 2022 curling gold medallist Muirhead is optimistic that some can return with ribbons around their neck.<\/p>\n
“We’ve got a young team, packed with potential, and they’ve got nine world medals among them from this season, which is the most we’ve ever had going into a Games,” she told BBC Sport. <\/p>\n
“You can’t put a price on a medal, which I know better than anyone. But everyone has their own targets. That could be a top 10, top eight, it could be to win a medal. <\/p>\n
“We have got the opportunity to get the most we ever have, but I’m not going to put a number on it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Team GB will endeavour to secure their best ever Winter Olympics medal haul at next month’s Games in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":234123,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-234122","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=234122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/234122\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/234123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=234122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=234122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=234122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
