**Georgina Wheatcroft** (born November 30, 1965, in [Nanaimo, British Columbia](/source/Nanaimo%2C_British_Columbia), as **Georgina Hawkes**) is a [Canadian](/source/Canadians) [curler](/source/Curling). She is a two-time [World Curling Champion](/source/World_Curling_Championships) and an Olympic bronze medalist.[1]

## Curling career

Wheatcroft made her [Scott Tournament of Hearts](/source/Scott_Tournament_of_Hearts), the Canadian women's national championship, debut in 1987 as a [third](/source/Third_(curling)) for [Pat Sanders](/source/Pat_Sanders). Wheatcroft's prior experience had been as a [skip](/source/Skip_(curling)) at the [Canadian Junior Curling Championships](/source/Canadian_Junior_Curling_Championships) in 1985 for British Columbia. Sanders, Wheatcroft, and their British Columbia team won the [1987 Scott Tournament of Hearts](/source/1987_Scott_Tournament_of_Hearts), defeating [Kathie Ellwood](/source/Kathie_Ellwood) in the final. At the [World Championships](/source/1987_World_Women's_Curling_Championship) that year, the team won the gold medal defeating [Germany](/source/Germany)'s [Andrea Schöpp](/source/Andrea_Sch%C3%B6pp) in the final.[2] In 1988 Wheatcroft played second for Sanders at the [Tournament of Hearts](/source/1988_Scott_Tournament_of_Hearts) and they lost in the final to [Heather Houston](/source/Heather_Houston). In 1989, Wheatcroft moved to [Julie Sutton](/source/Julie_Skinner)'s team and again qualified for the [Tournament of Hearts](/source/1989_Scott_Tournament_of_Hearts), where they would lose in their first playoff game. Wheatcroft would not go back to the Hearts until 2000.

In 2000, Wheatcroft played second for [Kelley Law](/source/Kelley_Law)'s rink. With Law, Wheatcroft won that year's [Scott Tournament of Hearts](/source/2000_Scott_Tournament_of_Hearts) and [World Curling Championships](/source/2000_Ford_World_Women's_Curling_Championship). The team were runners up at the following [2001 Scott Tournament of Hearts](/source/2001_Scott_Tournament_of_Hearts), where they lost to [Colleen Jones](/source/Colleen_Jones). The following year the team qualified for the [2002 Winter Olympics](/source/2002_Winter_Olympics) as Team Canada. The team defeated Team United States to win the bronze medal.[3]

In 2004, Wheatcroft skipped her own team to the [2004 Scott Tournament of Hearts](/source/2004_Scott_Tournament_of_Hearts), but her new team finished 4-7. She attempted to qualify the following year, but lost in the British Columbia playdowns. In 2005, she was picked up by that year's Hearts champion [Jennifer Jones](/source/Jennifer_Jones_(curler)) to replace [Cathy Gauthier](/source/Cathy_Gauthier), and she moved to [Winnipeg, Manitoba](/source/Winnipeg%2C_Manitoba), to play with the team. With her new team, Wheatcroft played in that year's [Olympic trials](/source/2005_Canadian_Olympic_Curling_Trials); the team finished with a 5–4 record. Wheatcroft had the opportunity to play in the [2006 Scott Tournament of Hearts](/source/2006_Scott_Tournament_of_Hearts) because Jones had won it the previous year, and thus got to play as Team Canada. The team lost in the final to [Kelly Scott](/source/Kelly_Scott) of British Columbia.

2006 saw Wheatcroft return to playing with Kelley Law, as her third. In 2007, the team made their way back to the national championship, now called the Scotties Tournament of Hearts, after winning the [B.C. Provincial Championship](/source/2007_British_Columbia_Scotties_Tournament_of_Hearts). At the [Scotties](/source/2007_Scotties_Tournament_of_Hearts) they finished with a 5–6 record.

In 2008, she once again skipped her own team and qualified for the [2009 British Columbia Scotties Tournament of Hearts](/source/2009_British_Columbia_Scotties_Tournament_of_Hearts).
