last thinking
That's the last thing I'll be thinking about.
consistent erase good icing last memories year
Last year was so disappointing. We just really wanted to erase those memories and it's been such a good year. We've been real consistent and this is just icing on the cake.
bit bronze came given great last medal week win wrong
It's devastating. We wanted that bronze medal every bit as much as we wanted to win the semi-final. We had given some great performances over the last week but just came out on the wrong end of it.
last might since win worlds year
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.
against canada committed country days deliver deserves effort enjoy hopefully last losing team time title
I didn't enjoy losing last year. There's nothing I've got against the country (Canada). I'm doing this for myself, the team and for the coaches. We've put so much effort into it this year, committed so much time and days off, I think this team deserves a world title and hopefully we can deliver it.
ends games hundred played
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.
days
You get days like that and you've just got to take it on the chin.
fantastic feels finally good ice quite
It feels fantastic to finally get started after all the build-up. We are not quite used to the ice yet but it was important to get a good start. When we've started well in the past, we have always done well.
behind great happy team
I'm happy because I've got a great team behind me.
beat came good great hearts prepared quite teams trained
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.
hard shows together train work
It shows what you can do if you really train hard and work together as a team.
obviously ourselves owe playing
It's an old rivalry. It's been around for a long, long time. We're obviously playing for our country, but we owe it to ourselves to do this for each other.
beaten beating capable opposition
We've beaten all our opposition at different times, so we know we are capable of beating them on the day.
camp days excellent few five forward four games holding intensive looking practice training venue wait
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.
