Rhiannon Butterfield, Scottish Curling Disability and Inclusion Development Officer

Rhona Howie MBE

Our next guest on the Scottish Curling Podcast is the ultimate curling icon. Everyone remembers where they were on that early morning back in 2002. Rhona Howie MBE famously skipped Team GB to Olympic gold at the 2002 Winter Games in Salt Lake City — a moment that put curling firmly on the map and inspired countless people across Scotland to take up the sport. We chat about that unforgettable achievement, her journey through curling, and her thoughts on how the game continues to evolve today. A huge thanks to Greenacres Curling Club for letting us record in the rink!
