My family was, and is, a curling family. |
My heart was going 100 miles an hour. I gave it to my sweepers to bring home. It's a shot we've done hundreds or thousands of times. |
Obviously, we feel very good. The guys showed guts today. It was a tough game to play. We've been playing well all week, everybody's been throwing the rock good. Today, we came out and just did it again. |
So far so good. We've been in control of the games so far. We expected it to be a fantastic game today. We knew we had to play well coming in. |
That's always been something for me to chase. Once I started to play competitively, it was a whole new experience. |
That's our No. 1 goal, to get people out there and trying it. Any kind of exposure that the game can get is going to help. That's why we see an explosion with the Olympics, because people see it on TV, they watch, they call their local clubs and they want to participate. |
The guys played good. I didn't have to make a whole lot of tough ones today. They just did what they've been doing throughout the whole competition and the amount of time we've been together. |
The key for us is to win the close ones. We're still in a good position for the rest of the way. |
They were ahead of us in the standings, so it was good to bring them back toward the field. |
This game was why we were here, you know? |
We actually had a shoot at a pizza parlor the other day. They had me in the kitchen making pizza. |
We could hear the Swiss yelling and stuff. We expected that. |
We got kind of a break on a miss by him. The real thing was his miss more than my make. The fact that we stole two points was big for us. |
We were shocked to see this many people when we got into the terminal. The opening ceremony in the Olympics was unbelievable, but this is a pretty close second. |
