A Brilliant Curling Story

This Olympic Channel documentary, produced by Frank Marshall and Mandalay Sports Media (“The Last Dance”) tells the remarkable story of five unassuming women from Scotland who came together for a shot at Olympic curling glory. 

A Brilliant Curling Story details the story of five curlers - Rhona Martin, Deborah Knox, Fiona MacDonald, Janice Rankin and Margaret Morton - who won the hearts of the whole of Great Britain in 2002 and how they combined their personal lives with their dreams to compete at the Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic Winter Games while also recounting the team dynamic challenges they faced.

Frank Marshall, producer of  A Brilliant Curling Story, said: “This legendary group of Scottish women winning Curling gold is truly one of those special Olympic moments. We wanted to revisit their powerful story on its 20th anniversary so those who were there can relive all the drama and emotion. But we also wanted to introduce the story – one of belief, friendship and togetherness – to the next generation of Olympic fans, so they too get to experience all the magic of the moment that united people around the world and to make sure that their legend lives on.”

A Brilliant Curling Story is available to watch on discovery+ in the United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Italy and will air for the first time across the Eurosport network on Monday 31 January. Click HERE to watch the trailer.
