Still great after all those years!
Don't we all want to stay our own best forever?
Curling is a game where you can play almost all your life but it's
hard to play well as you age. Some are able to do this better than others and have not only won World Titles in their careers, they have later
won the World Senior title as well.

Nancy Kerr of Canada won the World title in 1980 and won
the Senior's title 23 years later in 2003. I wonder if she grievs that loss to Sweden in 1980? The only game she lost
in international play.

Christine Jurgenson of Canada won the World's in 1986 and added
Senior titles in 2009, 2011 and 2013. Christine only had single loss in 33 games for Canada.

joined Pat and Christine in winning the Senior titles in 2009 and 2011. Cheryl never lost a game wearing the Maple Leaf.
