Women’s curling was expected to perhaps medal. Nope. Women’s hockey was a cinch to medal. Nope. Men’s curling was expected to show up to play and go home before the medal round. Nope.
Welcome to the Olympics where, much like Alice’s Wonderland, things are not always as they are expected to be. The U.S. men’s curling team is in the medal round after beating Great Britain today. They are tied for first right now with Great Britain and Finland, who all have a 6-2 record. Their losses came to Finland and to Italy.
Tomorrow they play their last match before the semi-finals. They will be playing Canada, who have a record of 4-3. Finland and Great Britain will play each other later today.
