“If you’re at the top and you’re not trying to get better, you’re not going to be at the top for very long.” Getting to the top is one thing, staying there is another. JonathanBrazeau breaks down his takeaways from the GSOC Champions Cup.
SASKATOON — The Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling season ended with a bang at the Humpty’s Champions Cup.
While it may appear like Bottcher has stamped his spot among the best in the game, he still looks around the field and sees those like Brad Gushue, Kevin Koe, Niklas Edin, etc., who have been there for over a decade and believes there’s more work to be done to establish his team. “The guys at the top are trying to get better too,” he said. “If you’re at the top and you’re not trying to get better, you’re not going to be at the top for very long.”Skip Silvana Tirinzoni is amazed at how easy establishing chemistry with her team has come this season.
On top of their world and Humpty’s Champions Cup titles, Team Tirinzoni also finished runner-up at two other Pinty’s Grand Slam of Curling events. “I think we still have a lot of potential,” Tirinzoni said. “Sometimes we were a little bit inconsistent but I’m not too worried, actually. I think everything is possible in that team.”Team Einarson is in the same boat as Tirinzoni with a stunning first season for a new squad to start the Olympic cycle.
