About Alexandra Carlson:

Curls out of: St. Paul Curling Club

Nickname: Alex

Curling start: "I've been at the curling club since I was about six weeks old. When I got big enough to start pushing the rocks I started playing in juniors. I was one of the last double-hackers we had."

Curling family: "Pretty much my entire family curls or did curl. They have all been very encouraging of my playing."

What she enjoys most about curling: "My favorite part about curling is the way everyone treats each other. No one takes the 'I'm too good to talk to you' attitude. I have never heard of another sport where you can just have a casual conversation with someone on the Olympic team."

Something unique: "I have Gluten intolerance. In other words, I can't eat anything with wheat, rye or barley in it."
