    2018 Olympic Gold Medal Curling Team 2018 Gold Medal USA Olympic Curling Team Team Shuster Joe Polo, John Landsteiner, Matt Hamilton, Tyler George, John Shuster Team Shuster’s Road To Gold John Shuster is the kind of guy everyone wants to see succeed but his road to success has not been without a few bumps along the way. After a disappointing ninth place finish in Sochi, USA Curling held a combine for the country’s best curlers, meant to identify 10 athletes who would be asked to be on the high performance team. When the team was announced, Shuster’s name wasn’t on the list. The three-time Olympian was crushed. Jilted by the governing body, denounced by fans during the Sochi Games, Shuster was at a common crossroads in sports and in life: accept defeat and find something else to do or work even harder and earn his spot back on the team. He did what great competitors do. He reached down deep and put together a team of his peers that were also cast aside and got back to work at the rink. “People coined us Team Rejects,” he told the West Fargo Pioneer. Soon enough, the rejects started to win. First, they won the 2015 national championship, defeating all those who had made the USA Curling Team. Team Shuster went on to finish fifth at the world championships later that year. After Team Shuster’s success, USA Curling saw the promise and brought all four members of Team Shuster back into the fold. The results kept on coming for Team Shuster: a bronze medal at the 2016 World Championships, the U.S.

Vår verksamhetsidé pekar på komplexiteten i sporten; att den både är för de som vill tävla och vara sociala, att man får använda både hjärna och känsla, och framförallt att det är den unika kombinationen av individ och lagsport. Vi har den för att förtydliga vilka som passar för curling så vi får lättare att rekrytera nya curlare. Ett framgångsrikt exempel av vår verksamhetsidé är Det fungerade curlinglaget. Vår Värdegrund Svensk curling är en öppen och modern idrott som präglas av glädje, gemenskap, sportmannaskap och nyfikenhet. Vår värdegrund innebär att hjälpa varandra är en grundpelare i att utvecklas och ha kul inom curling. Eftersom vi vill att omvärlden ska tycka på ett visst sätt om oss måste vi uppträda så. Curlingen välkomnar alla oavsett ålder, kön, religion eller hudfärg. Ett framgångsrikt exempel av vår värdegrund är att man önskar varandra god Curling, berömmer bra stenar och visar aldrig att man blir glad om motståndaren missar. Samt att vi är våra egna domare. Vår Vision Svensk curling är världsbäst, ett föredöme i ledarskap och Sveriges mest efterfrågade idrott. Vår vision innebär att vi ska fortsätta vara världsledande i alla aspekter och att så många som möjligt ska vilja prova curling. Vi har den för att framgång föder framgång, och vi lever efter den i allt vi gör.
