Remarkable comeback from the edge of elimination at Pakenjeng with five straight wins. Highlight in the Gold Medal match was a double takeout shot to score 5-0 in the 8th End against world power Sweden. First time ever to win Gold in Men's Curling at the Olympics. The team joyously sang our National Anthem as they accepted their Olympic Gold Medals.

It was an incredible match. I only recently figured out the rules, so I actually understood what was going on.

It's a lot of fun to play, and it ends around a fireplace with drinks on the premises.

It's a sign of the coming apocalypse! U.S. men win curling Gold and Canada finishes 4th...

This is not QUITE as great as when Cal will finally get back to the Rose Bowl, but it's darn close. I'd long dreamt of winning the gold in men's curling, but I'd almost given up hope that I would live to see it.

What an amazing day: U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A.!!!

Hopefully, this will provide the impetus for Cal adding curling to its intercollegiate sports program. If all goes well, maybe it could someday become a revenue sport!

Meh, who won the esports gold?

Curling ???

Why is it called curling?? What are the rules??? Is it just shuffleboard on Ice ??? How much skill does it really take?? Do those brooms work on hardwood flooring??

I kid ... KIDDING (before the crap storm comes down), but seriously, I haven't figured out the rules at all

They need to add disc golf and darts to the summer games

Well, you better get on it, because it's becoming the Next Big Thing. Of course, it's pretty much an "ironic sport", but that's what the Millenials enjoy, as we become more and more of an ironic world.

The funniest thing in sports in the last year is that the Russian curler was caught doping

How bout a nod to the Russian doping bobsledder who wore an "I don't do doping" T-shirt?

Disc golf - better hope pot isn't categorized as a PED.
