Sibling curlers Temika, Grace and Jayden Bishop picked the sport up only last year, but they have been dominating the local competition and have their eyes set on the Youth Olympics.
The youngsters compete against players up to seven years their senior in the Dunedin secondary schools division, but they don't seem fazed.
''I think we might trial for the New Zealand team. Apparently, it's easy,'' Temika said.
''We want to try and make the team that's going to the Youth Olympics.''
They decided to get involved with curling after the sport was introduced to Kavanagh College last year.
Their uncle, Lawrence Bishop, who works as a mathematics teacher at the school, encouraged them to go along.
''I was pretty amazed with how well they managed to pick it up,'' he said.
''Jayden has a real natural eye for the game. He's a very talented skip.''
The skip is the player responsible for analysing the flight of the rock across the ice, and directing team-mates on whether to sweep.
All three siblings will compete in the New Zealand schools championships in Dunedin in September.
