The men's squad in curling took the gold medal for the first time in their history of olympic competition, besting Sweden. They were in 7th place earlier in the standings (losing four of six matches) and came roaring back to take it all; Sweden conceded the final match when they had no chance of making up the difference in scores.
Curling is like chess on ice with yoga-like serving/sliding/delivery of a big ol' polished granite stone.
Long matches and precise strategy...and yelling...and beer...and whiskey from what I hear.
Four Minnesotans and one from Wisconsin..."eh and oot".

Congratulations to those guys; they are as much athletes as anyone bustin' their butts out there.
