The 2014 Olympic men's curling team poses at the Duluth Curling Club in Duluth, Minn. on Jan 26, 2014. From left, John Landsteiner of Duluth, Jared Zezel of Hibbing, Jeff Isaacson and John Shuster. They’ve been toiling far from the spotlight of more glamorous Olympic sports such as skiing or figure skating. They squeeze in practice whenever they can. They leave for Russia on Saturday and hope to erase memories of Team USA's disastrous finish in Vancouver, Canada, four years ago. As the “skip” of Team USA, Shuster, 31, of Duluth, determines the group's strategy. He’s making his third Olympic appearance. He won a bronze medal in 2006, but took a lot of heat for the team's poor play in Vancouver, where they won only two out of nine games. (AP Photo/Minnesota Public Radio, Dan Kraker)
