Chinami Yoshida

Curling looks like people sliding stones on ice until you notice that every shot is a negotiation among four players about what the next three shots should look like. Chinami Yoshida sits at the centre of that conversation and rarely stops talking, and her brightness sets the emotional temperature of the whole team. She grew up in Tokoro, Hokkaido, a small town that produces curlers the way other towns produce farmers. After a spell away from the top level she came back, and as third for Loco Solare she took bronze at Pyeongchang and silver at Beijing. A team that laughs while it wins needs someone to start the laughing, and that is her job.
