FILE--Skip Cheryl Bernard yells after throwing her rock while playing against Team Lawton during the 2009 Canadian Olympic Curling Trials in Edmonton on Thursday, Dec. 10, 2009.When Cheryl Bernard first took to a curling rink at the age of eight, at a time when the rocks she wanted to throw might well have weighed as much as her, she was kindly told to get off the ice because she was too young.But the ever-stubborn Bernard didn't relent, proving her mettle to arena organizers by successfully skipping a stone to the end of the sheet.
