The way things were going, I think we could have played 100 ends and not gotten a result here. When we play our best, we're capable of beating everybody here. I think that's shown in the stats, and there's still a lot of confidence in this team. You get days like that and you've just got to take it on the chin. |
They're always a force. Canada's the most decorated nation in world curling. You always have to be up for them. They're the benchmark. |
This is just fantastic. I've always wanted, since I started curling, to win the worlds and after last year it was so disappointing I thought I might not get another opportunity. |
We are all getting on fine and our third place in the European Championships showed we can play well together. We topped the round robin section in that tournament and were a bit disappointed to end up with the bronze, but that was a marker and I'd like to think there's more improvement to come. |
We are all very well and looking forward to it. We had a really excellent four or five days of intensive training and a few practice games at our holding camp in Lucerne in Switzerland. We just can't wait to get to the venue and get on the ice. |
We really couldn't have done any more. We trained our hearts out and prepared as well as we could and came here and had some great performances and beat a lot of good teams but just never quite got the breaks. |
We've beaten all our opposition at different times, so we know we are capable of beating them on the day. |
You get days like that and you've just got to take it on the chin. |
You get games like that and you've just got to take it on the chin. We could have played a hundred ends and not get a result. |
You know, you have games like that. It just didn't work out for us. We're still in the competition, so we don't want to beat ourselves up. We just got a little bit unlucky. |
