:USA  Team USA 2018 - Winter Olympics :USA

Curling Preview

 

Men's Team

The U.S. Men's curling team has won 2 bronze medals (1992, 2006) This year it's up in the air where the team will finish. A 3rd or 4th place finish would be great.

The 2018 U.S. Olympic Men's Curling team will be lead by John Shuster who will skip for the team, John has been to three Olympic Games (2006, 2010, 2014) while winning the bronze medal at the 2006 games in Turin (playing in the lead position). Shusters 2014 teammate John Landsteiner and 2006 teammate Joe Polo with both make their second Olympic appearance while Tyler George (vice skip) and Matt Hamilton (second) will make their rookie appearances.

Women's Team

The U.S. Women's Curling team has yet to medal at an Olympics Games. As 4 of the 5 are making their debuts these games might just be a game for Olympic experience.

The 2018 U.S. Olympic Men's Curling team will be lead by two time national champion Nina Roth. All five members will be making their Olympic debuts. Roth is teamed up with Tabith Peterson, Aileen Gevin, Becca Hamilton and Cory Christensen. The team finished fifth at the 2017 World Women's Championship and has had a strong 2017-18 season.

Mixed Doubles

As Mixed Doubles will be making it's Olympic debut it is uncertain where the U.S. team will place.

Matt Hamilton and Becca Hamilton won the 2018 U.S. Mixed Doubles Team Trials, they will be competing in this event and along with their respected Men and Women team event.
