And the victory in all of this?

“It’s secondary. If we win, even better,” says the Canadian.

“We’re looking forward to discovering the ice. It’s the first time we’re going to throw stones on it. So, we’re going to try to play our best and play our curling. We’ll see what happens. We know it’s going to be a good adventure anyway,” says Cédric Durand, a curler.

“The French team is ready to go: ‘Wherever the stones take us,”‘ continues the athlete.

This year, the tournament organizers are completely satisfied with the involvement of local and external teams. The curling tournament is underway at the Saint-Pierre ice rink. The winner will be determined on Saturday, April 24.
