USA! USA! USA!

The US won its first ever curling medal today. They beat Great Britain to take the Bronze.

By far, these guys (men's and women's teams) were America's classiest competitors at the Games. You can keep your sulky speed skaters, fussy figure skaters, snarky skiers, silly snow-boarders and haughty hockey players. The curlers - all the teams - are a throwback to what I remember about the Olympics from when I was a kid.
