Sherry Anderson admits she had some bubble trouble at the Scotties Tournament of Hearts.
The skip of Saskatchewan’s entry at the Canadian women’s curling championship told the Greg Morgan Morning Show on Monday that life in the Calgary bubble was challenging, especially at the start of the nine-day tournament.
“I don’t know about affecting the play, but it affected people mentally for sure,” Anderson said. “When you’re sitting in your hotel room for a long day and your big outing is to go get a COVID test and have the stick shoved up your nose, that’s pretty bad. You know it’s sad when that’s your excitement for the day.
