Madeleine Dupont, Curling, Denmark
Madeleine Dupont says the Danish women's curling team talks a lot about the kind of team it wants to be, including how it wants to handle itself after Games.
"Do we want to be the team who just gives up and who don't bounce back after a loss like this?" Dupont said after Denmark's 7-2 loss in a round-robin match against Britain. "That's not the way I want to be, and that's not how our team wants to be. We just want to keep showing up and keep doing our best."
She said losses can be difficult and make her want to lie in bed crying. But she knows that's not how she wants to look back on herself.
"I want to be the one who keeps fighting," she says.
