American curlers Chris Plys and Vicky Persinger will be looking to draw inspiration from the success of compatriot Michael Phelps at the 2008 Summer Olympics when they take to the ice in the mixed doubles competition on Wednesday.
Their match against Australia will kick off the Olympic competition at the "Ice Cube" National Aquatics Centre, the distinctive venue where Phelps won eight swimming gold medals in 2008 when it was known as the "Water Cube".
"I have a blown-up photo of Michael Phelps from the 2008 Olympics that's signed and in a frame over the desk in my office, and I look at that photo every single day. I still remember sitting on my couch and watching those races happen." The Australian pair spent two days in isolation but have since been freed to compete after Gill subsequently tested negative.
