In the women’s team, there have been plenty of changes since they swept to gold in Beijing.
Dodds was the longest-serving member of Team Muirhead four years ago, and is the only one to return again.
She is joined this time by Rebecca Morrison, Sophie Jackson, Sophie Sinclair, and alternate Fay Henderson.
Muirhead remains a figurehead part of the setup, though, installed in Team GB’s chef de mission position.
On GB’s curling prospects, the 35-year-old told The Independent: “I think in curling in general we’re in a very strong spot.
“Bruce and the boys are world No. 1, they’ve won a couple of grand slams this season. Those boys are definitely in form, that’s for sure.
“Mixed doubles-wise, Jen (Dodds) and Bruce (Mouat), are not short of experience.
“[The women’s rink] have had a good season, of course, four of them are going to be first-time Olympians, so I think it’s a case of leaning on Jen and getting a bit of her experience and expertise.”
With an eye on the reaction back home, Muirhead is hopeful to bring Olympic success back with them again.
“I think the Winter Games kind of awakens all different parts of the country, and people just get hooked to the TV for weeks,” she said.
“As a nation, we really punch above our weight in winter sports, and I think we’re going to continue to do that.”
