About Li-Lin Cheng:

Curling start: Curling start: I first had a glance of curling from the Winter Olympics in 1998 (Nagano), but our first encounter with the sport starts with a video tape called “Curling ABC” that is mail-ordered from the U.S. Curling Association. The sport looked very strange but fascinating to us at the time.  “Us” means a bunch of Taiwanese students and fellows who were studying or working at the University of Wisconsin at the time (2005). We all joined the Madison Curling Club together and had a wonderful adventure in the world of curling ever since.  If you like to know more about the crazy Taiwanese curlers, please visit us on line at www.fightingyams.net!

What she enjoys most about curling: The game is about focus and concentration.  It is all in your mind and there is always something new to learn from a game.  Besides, it is a truly gentlemen and gentlewomen’s game.  And don’t forget: the joy of having a wonderful team work!

Curling goals: I like to see curling take roots in Taiwan one day.  No one ever saw curling in Taiwan until we played in the 2005 PCC in Taipei, Taiwan.  Lots of people in Taiwan showed their interest in this mesmerizing sport while we were there.  Hopefully we will have a really curling club in Taiwan in the near future.

Curling strengths: "Never despair."

Hobbies: Having lots of pets; Reading; Cooking and Gardening
