Four classy curlers

Curling is a team game, but what happens when the = higher-ups ask=20 you to first win a national championship, then break up your = team?
Well, if you're Susan Wright, you cry a little, = then make=20 one of the classiest, most selfless gestures you could ask=20 for.
The lead =E2=80=94 that's her on the far right of = the championship=20 squad =E2=80=94 for Dean Ross's national mixed championship = squad was well=20 within her rights to ask to be considered to be on Canada's = entry at=20 the first world mixed doubles championship next March in=20 Finland.
But just like second Tim Krassman (you probably = figured=20 this out, but he's third from the left), Wright swallowed = her pride=20 and stepped aside, allowing Ross and third Susan O'Connor = =E2=80=94 both=20 all-stars at the mixed nationals last month at the Calgary = Curling=20 Club =E2=80=94 to wear Canadian colours in = Finland.
Adding to the angst=20 is that Ross just happens to be Wright's husband, but Wright = refused=20 to put Ross in a tricky spot after the team won the national = title.
"I realized that there was a very good chance we = could win=20 (during the event), and that's when I started to think to = myself,=20 'Wait a minute, Susan =E2=80=94 Dean can't make this = decision, it's not=20 fair,' " said Wright. "And I don't want to put it on the = Canadian=20 Curling Association; I want our team to have class enough to = do it=20 ourselves.' "
So that's what they did. Just after the = final, the=20 team met with coach John Hamm and CCA national development = coach=20 Paul Webster, and Krassman and Wright informed their = teammates that=20 they would not contest the positions.
"I cried," admitted = Wright.=20 "It was a hard one. It wasn't an easy thing to do."
But = Wright=20 also saw it from a curling standpoint, in that throwing lead = rocks=20 doesn't prepare you for the all-around game you'll likely = need to=20 succeed at the mixed doubles worlds, whereas O'Connor has = all the=20 shots in her bag from playing third with Cheryl = Bernard.
Still,=20 O'Connor wasn't prepared to make it an issue, and was simply = blown=20 away by the class shown by Wright and Krassman.
"I would = have had=20 a hard time standing up and arguing why I should have been = chosen,"=20 she said. "It was their decision, no doubt about it. It was = very=20 selfless on their part."
