Matt Hamilton, Tyler George, John Landsteiner of U.S. compete in the Curling Men’s Semi-final against Canada on day thirteen of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games on February 22, 2018.

Following a full period of 4-on-4 play, the game was still tied. Canada dominated during that period.

“Every single day from the time the last Olympics ended and we decided we were going out for another cycle, everything single day, everything I’ve done has always had this day, this moment in the back of the my mind, the front of my mind”. My goal in life is to one day write a Batman screenplay.

Blouin said she had been nursing a bruise on her left buttock since Wednesday and aggravated it when she fell on her first jump.

“When it comes down to a shootout, it could be anybody’s game”. Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson scored in the sixth round of the shootout and Maddie Rooney stopped four of Canada’s six attempts, including the final one, for a 3-2 US triumph.

The team’s gold medal is a first for them since 1998.

It was sweet redemption for the 10 Americans who watched the Canadians snatch gold away in Sochi. “You feel like you’ve let a country down”.

“We said we’d go on the condition that we could keep the team together”, George told Calkins. All the stuff actually that she did on that, that’s stuff that we want to do too – come in on your off side and you have a couple different options there. This is a team that was inspired by the last women’s team to win the gold in 1998, and hopes to inspire the next wave of US women’s hockey players.
