AILEEN NEILSON said today that she is aiming to keep her cool when the pressure is on and deliver a stone of destiny and Paralympics curling gold in Pyeongchang.

Neilson’s rink took wheelchair curling bronze at the Sochi 2014 Games.

But, inspired by Rhona Martin’s last-stone heroics of 16 years ago at the Salt Lake City Olympics and the shot known as “The Stone of Destiny,” Neilson hopes for better in Pyeongchang.
