“We want to put curling on the map and show that it isn´t a sport that only takes place every fourth year. Also, if we can be an inspiration in showing that it is possible to do a full-time commitment, even in a smaller sport like curling, it would make us happy”, says Sara McManus, who until recently worked within Sandvik´s HR-organization.
Besides Sara the team consists of Anna Hasselborg, Agnes Knochenhauer and Sofia Mabergs.
The main sponsorship, which is shared with Vattenfall, was presented for media at a press conference at Sandvik in Stockholm on August 29.
