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 sat at the centre of that conversation for Loco Solare and rarely stopped talking, and her brightness set 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 was her job until she left the team in March 2026.
