While everyone was concerned about the soccer match between Canada and Sweden, Georgia Simmerling was pretty chill and calm about the match in which her partner Stephanie Labbe was a part of the match representing Canada’s goalkeeper.

She said that she knows Labbe really well and that if she losses or gets knocked down it won’t change anything, and she would still send her good vibes. Simmerling is herself an Olympian, and knows how to keep her nerves in control; she has come back from competing at Tokyo in track cycling.

She says that being a partner of an Olympian, she is her biggest fan, but she is pretty calm about that. Yesterday, she was in a Canadian Bar in Calgary to watch the soccer gold match where fans surrounded her.

On achieving the gold, Simmerling was out of breath and had no bar of happiness. She stated, “They know what they need to do and they came up big. That was unbelievable. It was so incredible to watch.”

It is the 1st gold achieved by the Canadian women soccer team, in the past 2 Olympic Games, the team has achieved Olympic back to back bronze medals. As for the couple, they both keep pushing each other to perform their best, they had thought of retiring from their sports but due to Covid-19 the 2020 Tokyo Olympics got postponed so their retirement became a bit unclear.
