Christine Keshen Curling – women’s lead

Olympic Outlook

The youngest member of Team Shannon Kleibrink, Keshen proved to be a solid lead at the 2005 Canadian curling trials. Still, she has never competed in a world or national championship, much less the Olympics.

Season Highlights

* Won Canadian curling trials as lead for Kleibrink
* Two top-three finishes on Women’s Curling Tour as lead for Kleibrink

Career Highlights

* Won 2005 Canada Cup as lead for Kleibrink

Quotations

“We need to sexify curling because sex sells.”
- Keshen, who supported curlers posing nude for a fundraising calendar released in October, on how to increase the game’s revenue.

Noteworthy

* Keshen curled a game-high 86 per cent in the final of the 2005 Canadian curling trials.
