Curling Vancouver 2010-US Men Slip

Latest News From Vancouver 2010: Skip John Shuster's team got an early lead over Canada, but wound up losing 7-2 in a shortened match. The Americans fell to 2-6 going into their finale Monday night against China.

Shuster won bronze four years ago, helping bring more attention to this sport. It was the first U.S. curling medal at the Olympics and the first in a major men's competition since 1978. They couldn't build on it, though, losing three straight matches in extra ends (which are like innings in baseball).

"We've played good and just haven't quite gotten there," Shuster said.
