Congrats and good luck Kim and Adrienne
By Brad Scott
We congratulate and wish Kim Irvine and Adrienne Kennedy good luck on being invited to represent Australia as members of the team to compete in the the WCF World Senior Curling Championships in Korea from 21-29 April 2023. The championships will be held in the Gangneung Curling Centre, the home of Curling for the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics. Read of their preparation plans, travel arrangements and goals for this fantastic opportunity. Check out their bios page to read how they began curling, both at a young age. Whilst each have very different origins, both have the credentials and experience worthy of their invitation and may surprise their opposition. We wish them the best and look forward to following their journey ahead.
Get warm before hitting the ice!
By Lynn Viljoen
With Curling season nearly upon us (in the Southern Hemisphere), now is the time to start reminding your body what it needs to be able to do in order to make your hits without having to hit the physio the next day!
Whilst I am sure we have all been keeping active and fit (lol) over the festive season, but Curling after a break always seems to help you rediscover muscles you had forgotten about. Spending a couple minutes a day doing some simple exercises can really help soften the blow, and may even prevent an early season injury.
Here is a [link] to a short video that runs through some gentle mobility exercises to help you on the way to being ready for the start of the Curling season.
I hope this is of some use. Take care, and look forward to seeing you on the ice.
