Performance Director for British & Scottish Curling, Dave Crosbee – commented “I’d like to congratulate all the athletes we have nominated to BUCS, as it is always a great honour to represent your country at major Games such as WUGS. It is a recognition of the hard work they have put in over the past years, the results they have shown and British Curling’s belief in their potential to go on to greater things at World, European and Olympic levels. British Curling sees the WUGS as a very important step in the pathway to Olympic success by allowing our athletes to experience another major multisport event against very high levels of competition. I wish all of the athletes the best in their preparations and at the Games themselves.
