"There was no roadmap in training, and we had to feel our way forward step by step. Every step of that journey was difficult," she said. "What made me happiest this time was that they didn't rush on the ice anymore. They stayed calm and patiently fought back stone by stone, even when we trailed by a big margin or the opponent kept stealing points."
