US curlers to play for Olympic gold after upsetting Canada

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)

File - In this Friday, Sept. 11, 2009, file photo curling competitor John Shuster poses with a medal for a portrait during the USOC Media Summit in Chicago, United States. It says much about John Shuster’s current state of mind that the United States curling skip is bringing his wife and 8-month-old son with him to the terrorism-threatened Winter Olympics in Sochi. He is heading to Russia with no fear - on or off the ice. That’s some feat, considering Shuster’s painful experience at the 2010 Vancouver Games that would have inflicted lasting damage on many people. (AP Photo/Skip Stewart, File)
