Q. How long have you curled and how did you get started?
A. I started curling when I was six years old, I had skating practice and we ran on the train for warm-up. When I was up on the track I saw people curling in the rink, and it REALLY intrigued me. So I asked my mom if I could play, and she signed me up. I did skating and curling for a year, and I chose to do only curling the next year.
