Vicky Persinger of Fairbanks and Chris Plys of Duluth, Minnesota, wrapped up the mixed doubles competition with three wins and six losses.
Victoria Persinger of Fairbanks reacts after a throw during the mixed doubles curling match against China at the Beijing Winter Olympics Saturday, Feb. 5, 2022, in Beijing.
“It’s tough to claw back against teams like this,” Persinger said, speaking from her seventh-floor corner room in a sea of high-rise buildings.Persinger and Plys ended their run with three wins and six losses, but they played better than their record might indicate, Persinger said. A couple times, the pair were beat soundly. But more often, intense games hinged on a single shot or went down to the wire. Three times, the Americans lost by one point.
“I thought we had the pedal down on them, and that if we would’ve scored that, we would’ve won the game,” she said.“I can make some great ones, but also it’s more evident when I miss,” she said.Norway, Great Britain, Sweden and Italy advanced to the mixed doubles semifinals to determine who will step on the podium.Though she will return to Fairbanks with no medals, she will carry memories to cherish.
