Niklas Edin：加拿大冰壶教练
2023 02 17 ———————————————————— 奥运瑞典人成为加拿大冰壶教练 尼王在不列颠哥伦比亚省坎卢普斯市参加了为期一周的加拿大女子冰壶比赛。 瑞典的多个世界和奥运会冠军跳板Niklas Edin将全神贯注地关注几小时后的加拿大女子冠军赛。现场和亲身体验。事实上，他将坐在板凳后面，穿着不列颠哥伦比亚省的制服。 向温哥华队的教练Clancy Grandy问好，他们将在周五晚上在Sandman中心举行的Scotties红心锦标赛的首轮比赛中与爱德华王子岛队交手。 "我在很久以前就认识克兰西，那时候他们曾经打过很多大满贯赛，"埃丁说。 "他们就问我，对我来说，在我受伤之后，做一下教练是个好时机。" 的确...... "我只是问问，"格兰迪笑着说。 爱丁在秋天因半月板撕裂而倒下，并错过了当前冰壶赛季的大部分时间，正在从紧急手术中休养。他的团队在没有他的情况下坚持了一段时间，甚至玩起了三人游戏，"Gushueing "了许多对手。 埃丁说，他计划研究围绕战术的细节，"以及如何对待比赛，特别是在赛事初期，以（保持）冷静"。 埃丁出现在加拿大首屈一指的女子冰壶比赛中，是在苏格兰的大卫-默多克被从英国冰壶协会撬走并将接管加拿大冰壶协会的国家高性能项目的重磅消息公布后的几周。 在从事术后理疗期间，埃丁还尝试了电视评论，在厄斯特松德举行的欧洲锦标赛上担任世界冰壶锦标赛的电视分析师。 "在媒体方面肯定有很多好处，"埃丁告诉世界冰壶联合会。"坏处是不能参加比赛，不能在冰上比赛，这很无奈。 "知道我不能参加这项活动，这是一个非常好的机会，可以坐在这里。你得到了一个很好的视野，坐在完美的位置上看比赛，然后跟着这里的所有比赛，整个活动期间，真的很好。" 现在埃丁将在坎卢普斯的一个不同的护民官上，承担不同的责任。也就是说，帮助格兰蒂的球队进入冠军池，并希望在七天后进入季后赛。 Edin已经正式取代Katie Witt成为教练，而Witt则转为候补。两人将在不列颠哥伦比亚省的比赛后面并排坐着。 冠军池将标志着不列颠哥伦比亚省首次有机会与马尼托巴省的詹妮弗-琼斯比赛，后者有一位自己的（加拿大）男子冰壶超级明星担任球队教练。 ———————————————————— Olympic Swede A Canadian curling coach King Nik is in for a week of Canuck women’s curling in Kamloops, B.C.
Niklas Edin, Sweden’s multiple world and Olympic champion skip, will be paying rapt attention to a Canadian women’s championship game a few hours from now. Live and in-person. In fact, he’ll be seated behind the bench, wearing a British Columbia uniform. Say hello to the coach of Vancouver’s Team Clancy Grandy, who will battle Prince Edward Island in their opening round match of the Scotties Tournament of Hearts Friday night at the Sandman Centre. “I know Clancy from way back, back when they used to play a lot of the Slams,” said Edin. “And they just asked me, and it was good timing for me to coach a little bit, after my injury.” Indeed … “I just asked,” said Grandy, laughing. Edin went down with a torn meniscus back in the fall, and missed a big swath of the current curling season recuperating from emergency surgery. His team soldiered on without him for a while, even playing three-man and
“Gushueing” numerous opponents
. Edin said he planned to look into details around tactics, “and how to approach the game, especially early in the event, to (keep them) calm.” Edin’s presence at Canada’s premiere women’s curling event comes weeks after
the bombshell announcement
that Scotland’s David Murdoch had been pried away from British Curling and will take over Curling Canada’s national high performance program. While engaged in post-operational physiotherapy, Edin also experimented with television commentary, serving as a World Curling TV analyst at the European championships held in Östersund. “Being on the media side definitely has a lot of upsides,” Edin told the World Curling Federation. “The downside is not being able to play and to be on the ice—that’s a bummer. “Knowing I couldn’t play this event, it was a really good opportunity to sit up here. You get a great view, sitting in the perfect spot to see the game and then following along with all the games here, all event long, is really nice.” Now Edin will be on a different tribune in Kamloops, with different responsibilities. Namely, help get Grandy’s squad into the championship pool and hopefully the playoffs, seven days from now. Edin has officially replaced Katie Witt as coach, with Witt shifting to alternate position. The two will be seated side-by-side behind the B.C. games. The championship pool would mark B.C.’s first chance to play against Manitoba’s Jennifer Jones, who has a (Canadian) men’s curling superstar of her own on board as team coach.
