Bingyu Wang has won the 2017 Frances Brodie Award at the 2017 CPT World Women's Curling Championship
Frances Brodie was the driving force behind the group which established the first World Ladies Curling Championship in 1979 and chaired the first Official Ladies Committee of the International Curling Federation (ICF), later renamed the World Curling Federation.
In 1989, her contribution to World Curling was recognised by the ICF with the introduction of an award in her name, which has been presented at the conclusion of each World Women’s Curling Championship since then.
The recipient is selected by the curlers participating in the event, to honour the curler who, “by deed and action in the course of their performance, best exemplified the Traditional Curling values of skill, honesty, fair play, friendship and sportsmanship.”
Frances attended these Championships to make the presentation herself until she was unable travel to the event. Frances died in 2006. This Award is now presented by the Chief Umpire at the World Women’s Curling Championship.
