Rdbc 47 Posted January 21, 2018 #89 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Team USA 2018 - Winter Olympics 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. P.S. This is my first real post on Totallympics so I hope it's good enough. I'll try and finish all the previews before the games start!

Rdbc 47 Posted January 21, 2018 #90 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Team USA 2018 - Winter Olympics Luge Preview Men's Singles Out of the 3 men Tucker and Chris are the most likely to medal at these games but the chances of that are unlikely. Taylor Morris This will be Taylor's Olympic debut. Taylor has won a bronze medal in Lake Placid World Cup sprint race this season. Taylor is currently ranked 28th in the World. Tucker West This will be Tucker's 2nd Olympic games after finishing 22nd at the 2014 games. Tucker is ranked 18th in the World. Chris Mazdzer This will be Chris's 3rd Olympic games after finishing 13th in 2010 and 13th in 2014. Chris is currently ranked 22nd in the World. Women's Singles These Women's Singles have a good chance at getting a medal at these Olympic games as long as we keep up with the Germans. Summer Britcher This will be Summer's 2nd Olympic games after finishing 15th in 2014. Summer is coming in with a lot of momentum after finishing with a gold medal at Lilliehammer in the World Cup. Summer currently sits 3rd in the 2017-18 Luge World Cup Erin Hamlin This will be Erin's 4th Olympic games after finishing with a bronze in 2014, 16th in 2010 and 12th in 2006. This season Erin has won a Bronze in Winterberg and Silver in Winterberg Sprint. Emily Sweeny This will be Emily's first Olympic games, this season she won the Gold in Winterberg Sprint race. Doubles Matt and Jayson could possibly medal at these Olympic Games, they will need to dominate watch out for the Germans. Matt Mortensen & Jayson Terdiman Both Matt and Jayson will be making their second trip to the Olympics but the last trip they competed with different partners. Terdiman finishing 11th and Mortensen finishing 14th. Matt and Jayson are currently 5th place in the 2017-18 Luge World Cup Season. Andrew Sherk & Justin Krewson This will be both Andrew and Justin's first Olympic Games, they are currently ranked 18th in the World Cup standings. Team Relay The U.S. Relay Team currently sits 4th in the World, so a medal at these Olympics is possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
