A handful of athletes at the Ice Cube curling venue have found a clever way to get around the ban on bringing families to Beijing for the Olympics.
“This is such an opportunity, that our family members also work for, and none of us would be able to do this without their support,” said Roth, who also competed in PyeongChang. “It was really good fun to celebrate with them at the last Olympics. So it’s a big bummer that they can’t be here this time.”
Norway's Magnus Vaagberg is the son of two Olympic curlers. His father, Lars, and uncle Paal Trulsen won gold in 2002 in a foursome that also included Magnus' current teammate — and six-time Olympian — Torger Nergaard. The Petersons’ mother grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and picked up curling from her father. She taught it to her daughters, who started when they were 10 and 8; a brother, Trent, also curled for a while before turning to professional golf.While siblings might be expected to team up, there's no guarantee that they'll get along over the hundreds of hours they spend together practicing, playing and traveling to tournaments each year.
“When we were young, 100%, my mom was always like, ‘Now we need curling-free time. You can’t talk about curling all the time,’” she said. “Now we all live separate places, so it’s not a problem anymore. But it’s still hard to just leave it at the rink.”
