Wang Bingyu stood unfazed last Sunday when she prepared for the decisive slide at the World Championships in Gangneung, South Korea, a cool move that bagged China's first curling world title.
It was an enthusiastic crowd at the Beijing Capital International Airport welcoming home their winning players on Monday that overwhelmed the skipper of China's national women's curling team instead.
"I'm more nervous right now than when I was competing," Wang said, as she spotted the swarm of reporters waiting anxiously for the curlers at the exit of the airport.
