General Interest

FRONT LINE HERO
Returned to her previous job as a surgical ward nurse during the early days of the pandemic. “Sports have to take second place to what is happening just now and when I went into work last week at the hospital it really sank in. Now it is time to make a difference in a different way and I will now play my part in a much bigger team.” (bbc.com, 23 Mar 2020)

HEAD DOWN
“We’re in really good form just now and we don’t want to disrupt it. I just need to keep doing what I’m doing. We’re training really well and need to keep going on ice and keep our head down.” (eurosport.com, 13 Dec 2021)

WEDDING BELLS
Will marry Great Britain’s mixed doubles coach Greg Drummond on 1 July 2022, after eight years together. “I need to go one better and win gold, if only to give me bragging rights back home. And if I do come back with gold the (hospital) consultants have told me I have to wear my medal on the ward. I will be walking about with it on all day.” (thescottishsun.co.uk, 23 Jan 2022)
