Update ( 2-19-26 )

As the Olympic men's and women’s curling round robin comes to an end, Team USA has delivered exciting moments, tough battles, and plenty to cheer about!

Women’s Team – Team Peterson

On the women’s side, Team Peterson has been nothing short of impressive.

After taking on many of the top women’s teams from around the world, they’ve delivered clutch performances in high-pressure situations. Strong shot-making, strategic calls, and confident sweeping have carried them through a challenging field — and now they’ve secured a spot in the semifinals.

With momentum on their side, Team Peterson is officially in medal contention and just one big win away from competing for gold. The team’s composure and championship experience are shining through at exactly the right time.  Could Cory Thiesse get her second metal of 2026 Olympics?

Men’s Team – Team Casper

The young and determined Team Casper stepped onto the Olympic stage facing some of the most experienced and decorated teams in the world. Competing against powerhouse programs like Canada, Sweden, and Great Britain, the team showed resilience, skill, and poise well beyond their years.

Throughout round-robin play, Team Casper battled in several tightly contested games — many coming down to the final stones. In multiple match-ups, they were just inches away from flipping the outcome. While they ultimately fell just short of qualifying for the medal rounds, their performance proved that the future of U.S. men’s curling is incredibly bright.

For a young squad gaining invaluable Olympic experience, this tournament will serve as a stepping stone. Expect to see this team back — stronger, sharper, and even more confident — in the years ahead.

What This Means for U.S. Curling

The Olympics always shine a spotlight on curling, and this year is no exception. With one young team gaining critical experience and another pushing toward a medal, the excitement around American curling continues to grow.

As of February 10, 2026, the U.S. mixed doubles team of Cory Thiesse and Korey Dropkin has won the silver medal at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. They fell 6-5 to Sweden in the gold-medal game on Tuesday, February 10, after trailing 5-4 entering the eighth and final end. Isabella Wranå scored two points with her last stone to secure the win for Sweden. This marks the first medal ever for the United States in Olympic mixed doubles curling.

The rest of Team USA's curling events are just starting. The men's and women's teams begin their round-robin phases this week, with matches running through February 19–20 leading to playoffs. The men's team, skipped by Danny Casper, and the women's team, skipped by Tabitha Peterson Lovick, are competing on the full-size sheets in Cortina. Results are updated daily on official Olympic channels, and local fans here in Pittsburgh have been following closely—many stopping by the club for watch parties. We'll keep this post current with new developments.

Mixed Doubles Silver: A Historic Moment

Mixed doubles curling combines strategy, precision, and quick decision-making in a faster format than traditional four-player games. Thiesse and Dropkin advanced through the round-robin with strong play, then beat Italy in the semifinals before facing Sweden in the final. Their silver medal is a milestone for U.S. curling and has generated real excitement among our members and visitors.

At Pittsburgh Curling Club, we've seen this kind of energy translate directly to our ice. Newcomers often mention watching Olympic matches and wanting to try the same shots and calls they see on TV. Our Learn to Curl sessions give beginners the chance to practice delivery, sweeping, and basic strategy on full-size pebbled ice—no experience required.

How the Rest of Team USA Is Performing

• Men's Team: In the round-robin stage, facing strong competition from Canada, Sweden, Great Britain, and others. Standings shift daily.
• Women's Team: Also in round-robin play, with key matchups against top nations.
• Upcoming: Playoffs begin later this week, leading to medal games by February 19–20 for men's and women's.

We host watch parties during major Olympic sessions, where members and guests gather in our warm room to cheer on Team USA, discuss shots, and share broomstacking stories afterward. It's a great way to feel part of the larger curling community.
