  • USA Olympic Curling Team Team Shuster
    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.

    The Daily Pebble The official publication of the 2016 USA Curling National Championships Saturday, Feb. 13, 2016 Team Clark (l-r) Brady Clark, Greg Persinger, Colin Hufman, and Philip Tilker. Team Shuster (l-r) John Shuster, Tyler George, Matt Hamilton, and John Landsteiner. Clark, Shuster to meet in men’s final By Terry L. Davis, Daily Pebble Editor // THE PLAYOFFS ohn Shuster’s team will have a chance to defend their national title after defeating Craig Brown, 7-1, in Friday afternoon’s semifinal game of the 2016 USA Curling National Championships. #1 Brady Clark JShuster (Duluth, Minn.) and teammates Tyler George (Duluth, Minn.), Clark Matt Hamilton (McFarland, Wis.), and John Landsteiner (Duluth, Minn.) will now take on Brady Clark’s team in the men’s gold-medal game Saturday night at #2 John Shuster Shuster Veterans Memorial Arena. Final “The whole team started out sharp. We exhibited a lot of patience in this one,” George said. “Obviously, it’s a little bit circumstances today. I think the teams Shuster were on a level playing field and we’re comfortable going out there and playing Semifinal our game and knowing that’s what’s going to stand up at the end of the day. We’re #3 Korey Dropkin going to have to bring everything we got in the next one.” Shuster’s team has already earned enough points to represent the U.S. at the Brown 2016 World Men’s Championship in April but being national champion and #4 Craig Brown finishing out the week on a winning note is what’s most important, George said.
