A U-S Olympic curling judge from Willmar is not thrilled about the COVID-19 restrictions in Beijing, China.

Susie Czarnetzki says it’s going to be a long 26 days in the Olympic Village.  Czarnetkzki says, “First, it was a loop and now they are starting to refer to it as a bubble. So I’m understanding I can’t go outside and go for a walk. I can’t use any kind of public transportation, I can’t go out into the public and shop.”

Czarnetzki will be the only American referee for curling.  She says even with all the restrictions, she would never back out of a commitment.
