“We can’t even say enough good things about Carly our sports psychologist and Kaela and our whole team,” Plys said. “It’s been hard on everybody. It’s been hard on them, but they’ve taken a back seat to the way they’re feeling and really made sure that we’re taken care of and in a good spot to keep playing.”
The victory moved the Americans into a tie for fifth with China and the Czech Republic in the 10-team field. After the round robin, the top four teams move into the semifinals. It also put Plys and Persinger in a great mood heading into the opening ceremony a few hours later, when they would follow men’s skip and defending gold medalist John Shuster, the“Hell yeah, man, it’s going to be awesome,” said Plys, a two-time Olympian who is also on the men’s team. “Before we left for this trip, being able to walk in the ceremonies was already going to be a highlight. Getting to do that with my teammate holding a flag, it’s going to be a night to remember.
“It’s as exciting for us as it is for the people back home,” Plys said. “I over-swept Vicky’s to give them a shot for three, but I went right down to the other end and it was just like, ‘Let’s get it right back.’ That’s mixed doubles curling. You don’t see that as much in men’s or women’s, but mixed doubles, man, it’s volatile and the swings are crazy and a lot of times it’s which team can manage their emotions through those swings better.”“We lightened up a little bit,” Plys said.
