Kelly Schafer Biography

Kelly Schafer is one of the most popular and richest Curler who was born on April 8, 1981 in Dundee, United Kingdom. Kelly Schafer (born 8 April 1981 in Dundee as Kelly Wood) is a Scottish curler who has represented her home country and Great Britain on an International and Olympic level. She lives in Swift Current, Saskatchewan.

While representing Scotland at the 2010 World Championships in Swift Current, Kelly Wood met the mayor, Jerrod Schafer, and a romance developed. She would later move to the town. Kelly and Jerrod Schafer married in 2013. They have one child together.

Schafer returned to the Olympics in 2010, again playing second but this time for skip Eve Muirhead. Team Great Britain finished 7th with a record of 3-6.

Though she no longer lives in Scotland, Schafer has been a frequent alternate for Team Scotland, including at the 2012 World Championships in Lethbridge, Alberta, the 2017 World Championships in Beijing, China, and for Great Britain in the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Schafer made her international curling debut competing at the 1999 World Junior Championships, representing Scotland and the Letham Grange Ice Rink. With Schafer leading the team as skip, they finished a respectable fifth position. Schafer was skip for Team Scotland at the World Juniors two more times, in 2001 and 2002. Both years the team again finished fifth.

Scotland’s curling dominance over the two other host nations of Great Britain secured its place at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. Schafer was shortlisted along with nine other female curlers to be considered for a place on the women’s Olympic team and became successful to travel to Turin to defend Rhona Martin’s Olympic gold that Team GB won in Salt Lake City in 2002. She joined Rhona Martin, Lynn Cameron, Jackie Lockhart and Debbie Knox. As in her other international games, Shaefer played second throughout the Olympic competition. However, despite beating U.S. 10–4 after only six ends, Team GB’s Olympic hopes were shattered as Canada beat Denmark in a nail-biting match in the final end. A win over Canada by Denmark would have enabled Great Britain to go into a playoff to compete for the last semi-final position. When interviewed after the game Kelly conceded Team GB’s loss was “gutting” but added “we [Team GB] have to take the positives out of this.”

A month after the Olympics Schafer again played with Muirhead, this time as third at the 2010 World Championships. Team Scotland played Germany in the final, settling for the silver medal after giving up two points in an extra end.
