Honestly though that is what really impresses me is that she has won these medals in sports that are very demanding physically.
A game like Curling is a bit like golf where there is a lot of strategy, and the mental aspect is arguably as important as any of the physical demands, hence why older athletes can still perform at an elite level.
Although I think Hughes is as tough mentally as they get and that probably helps her overcome some of the physical advantages younger athletes may have.
Needless to say I'm impressed, and I felt she was a great choice to carry the flag in the opening ceremonies, and today I hold her in even higher regard.
