United States' Christopher Plys, and Victoria Persinger, compete against Sweden, during the mixed doubles curling match, at the 2022 Winter Olympics, Friday, Feb. 4, 2022, in Beijing.
“It’s hard to tell with the masks on. I think it was our sports psychologist and our dietician who were in the stands,” said Persinger of Fairbanks. “They’ve kind of been our team around our team and were cheering us on especially coming back after a two-loss day.” “We can’t even say enough good things about Carly our sports psychologist and Kaela and our whole team,” said Plys of Duluth, Minnesota. “It’s been hard on everybody. It’s been hard on them, but they’ve taken a back seat to the way they’re feeling and really made sure that we’re taken care of and in a good spot to keep playing.”
