Swiss slow off the mark at Winter Games

27 Aug 2017 – World champions and Olympic contenders Switzerland had a slow start, with two losses on the opening day of the Audi quattro Winter Games Mixed Doubles curling tournament.

But they blew off the cobwebs to record their first win in the third round of pool play in Naseby this morning.

“We knew it might not be that easy with two tough games to start off,” said Switzerland’s Martin Rios. “It’s a while before the Olympics and while you want to win every game, we’re not stressed yet. We want to perform better than we did, improve step by step, and just need to be patient.”
