The win marks one of the biggest upsets in recent Olympic hockey memory.

Five yellow-handled American rocks were left behind. She said that her "emotions got the better of me" as she was devastated that her team did not take gold. But they outlasted Switzerland in overtime in the playoff round and beat Sweden in a rematch in the quarterfinals, also in overtime.

The two countries have faced each other only once before in Olympic play since the fall of the Iron Curtain and the reunification of Germany, and the Germans won that game 4-2 in 1994 at Lillehammer, Norway.

"It's a little surreal right now still, just coming off of where we were to where we are now", USA vice skip Tyler George said after his team clinched a playoff spot.

Shuster's team did it again in the semifinals.

While this is a terrible result for Canada, even Kennedy could see the value in having teams other than Canada in the gold medal games here.

Koe's hammer throw took out that US stone, but was too hard and went left the house, forcing Canada to settle for just one point and 4-3 deficit.

From there, Sweden was playing catch-up.

Sweden, skipped by Niklas Edin, proved it was one of the top teams in the Olympic field early in round robin play. It took less than four minutes for Canada to rack up more shots than it had in the entire first period. Regardless of your stance on the matter, all of Canada came together to cheer on the men's' hockey team with their semi-final game against Germany- but things aren't going too well right now.

"During the entire end we could kind of feel it building".

Crystal Palace 0-1 Tottenham player ratings: Spurs stars rated and slated
Palace, meanwhile, struggled in the final third of the field and looked out of ideas without the injured Wilfried Zaha. Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson defended Dele Alli , dismissing suggestions the Tottenham midfielder dives.

"It'll take some time to get over the sting of losing and not winning a medal", Koe said. "I can't tell you how un-nervous I was sitting in the hack to throw it". The United States has outscored opponents by six.

"It was fun to go out there and be the team and the player that got us here and that we've worked so hard to be", Shuster said after that game.

"It's unbelievable. I don't know if I am going to sleep tonight", Landsteiner said to reporters after the game.

"It's a decision based on whether I have the passion and desire and skill set to continue to play and I think that's what we all strive for when that all came about", she said.

With Trump clapping along, the American fans in the crowd chanted "U-S-A!"

The loss ended a four Olympic games streak, in which Canada had earned four gold medals.

Shuster brushed it off: "A gold medal in curling is a gold medal in curling". It resulted in a cohort of players that finally elevated the U.S.to a world power that is regularly churning out elite players.

The player took a bit of heat for removing her silver medal during the post-game ceremony and holding it in her hand for the duration of the event.

Canada's men's hockey team has won the bronze medal at the Pyeongchang Winter Games with a 6-4 victory over the Czech Republic. Then came the Ladies' Team Sprint Free final. Canadians haven't been quite as dominant in the 39 years curling has held a women's world championship; they've only found themselves on the podium 33 times - an 85% rate.
