Miracurl on Ice: Team USA defeats Sweden to win first curling gold medal
The U.S. was on the brink of elimination less than a week ago.
In order to win a gold medal, they would have to beat 3-time defending Olympic gold medalists Canada twice, Switzerland, Great Britain and World No. 1 ranked Sweden.
No problem.
For the fifth straight game John Shuster and Team USA rattled the best curlers in the world, and again came away with a win for the U.S.'s first ever Olympic curling gold medal by defeating Sweden 10-7.
The U.S., with Shuster, Tyler George, Matt Hamilton and John Landsteiner, had two strategies coming in - limit Sweden's scoring and avoid the big end, and messy up the house with yellow rocks to force Sweden to make plays.
