Source: Canadian Curling AssociationDecember 10…The 2007 Continental Cup of Curling, presented by Monsanto, begins Thursday at The Arena in Medicine Hat, Alberta.
This will be the fifth edition of the unique, four-day event, an international competition patterned somewhat after golf’s Ryder Cup, featuring Team North America against Team Europe. Both sides are tied at two wins each. North America took the inaugural ‘Cup’ in Regina in 2002 and the 2004 renewal in Medicine Hat, when an attendance record of 42,317 was set. Europe prevailed in 2003 in Thunder Bay and last year in Chilliwack, British Columbia.
Europe is represented by teams skipped by 2006 world champion David Murdoch of Scotland, who this past weekend won his second European championship, 2007 world men’s silver medallist Andy Kapp of Germany, 2006 European champions Andreas Schwaller of Switzerland and Liudmila Privivkova of Russia, Angelina Jensen of Denmark and Kelly Wood of Scotland, the silver and bronze medallists, respectively, at the 2007 world women’s championship in Aomori, Japan. The captain is 2002 Olympic gold medallist Rhona Martin while Rodger Schmidt is the coach.
