CHINA'S women plan a dramatic debut on the Olympic curling sheet in Vancouver by sweeping their way to a surprise gold medal.
The band of students from icy Harbin rocked curling circles when they won the world championship in South Korea last year. After ranking second in the qualification for the Olympics, the former skaters are determined to upset favorites Canada at the February 12-28 Games. "We try to be like five fingers on one hand that hold the fist together to make a team," Chinese skip Wang Bingyu, 25, said. "As newly crowned world champions and (an) Olympic rookie team, we will naturally be under a lot of psychological pressure. In order to focus on each rock, you have to turn that pressure into your power."
