First, in an era during which fitness has never been more important as a building block to being a competitive, elite curler, the 25-year-old marketing co-ordinator for Ens Auto in Saskatoon has taken it to another level as a championship-level fitness/bikini show competitor, winning the first three competitions she entered earlier this year.
Second, with the International Olympic Committee on the verge of granting medal status to mixed doubles curling — meetings are scheduled for June 7 and 8 in Lausanne, Switzerland, where the World Curling Federation will make its formal pitch, with a formal vote likely to follow soon after — Quick, who’s competed with partner Mike Armstrong of Regina in all three Canadian Mixed Doubles Trials, says that beginning with the 2015-16 curling season, her focus will be shifted almost completely to the mixed doubles discipline as opposed to traditional four-player curling.
