Olympic silver medallist Greg Drummond was appointed Olympic Head Coach in May 2023. Having established himself as one of Scotland’s finest curlers of the past decade he moved into coaching as part of British Curling’s performance programme team in 2018.
As an Olympic and two-time World Championship finalist, he is also a four-time Scottish Champion and, having previously worked in public sector finance, he combined his playing career with studying for a BA in Business and Enterprise Sport at Edinburgh Napier University, graduating in 2018 before undertaking a post graduate degree in International Sports Management at the University of London.
On moving into coaching he initially specialised in the newest Olympic discipline of mixed doubles. Drummond’s expertise in that area remains invaluable having coached two different line-ups to back-to-back gold medals at the World Mixed Doubles Championships in 2021 and 2022.
Prior to that he guided Team Whyte to bronze medal wins at both the World Junior Championships and the World University Games in 2019, and has since supported them on their journey to becoming one of the top ranked men’s teams in the world.
Greg lives in Stirling, close to the National Curling Academy, with his wife Vicky Wright MBE, who won gold at the Beijing Winter Olympics as third for Team Muirhead, the only Team GB athletes to be crowned Olympic Champions at those Games in 2022. The Drummonds welcomed their first child, daughter Sophie Victoria at the end of the 2023-24 season.
