Mirjam Ott

Mirjam Ott (born 27 January 1972 in Bern) is a retired Swiss curler from Laax, Switzerland. She is two-time Olympic silver medalist (2002, 2006), 2012 World champion and two-time European champion (1996, 2008). During her career, she represents Switzerland at four Winter Olympics, seven World Championships and eleven European Championships in total.

Career Ott won the Olympic silver medal twice; in the 2002 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City (with skip Luzia Ebnöther) and 2006 in Turin (as skip herself), making her the first woman with two Olympic medals in curling. In 2008 the team won the European Championship in Sweden. At the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, her team finished a disappointing fourth place, as Ott's touch completely deserted her late in the semi-final and bronze medal matches. Ott won the 2012 World Women's Curling Championship after defeating Sweden's Margaretha Sigfridsson in the final. This is the first World Women's Championship title for Switzerland in 29 years.

At the 2014 Sochi Olympic Games, Ott skipped her team to a second consecutive fourth-place finish at the Olympic Winter Games. Switzerland were beaten 6-5 by Great Britain in the Bronze Medal match. She retired following the 2013–14 season.

After retirement, she coached the team skipped by Alina Pätz to win the 2015 World Women's Curling Championship. She is also the coach of the team skipped by Silvana Tirinzoni at 2025 World Women's Curling Championship and 2026 Winter Olympics. The team won silver medal in both events.
