By the way, this U.S. Men's Curling Team is the youngest in Olympics history. Although Casper was born in Briarcliff Manor, he's spent most of his life and discovered his love for Curling in Minnesota. He's also already a gold medalist having won the U.S. Men's Curling Championship last December to secure his team's Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics berth.

Unfortunately, though, the men's team's winning streak came to an end Tuesday with round robin losses to China and Italy. They'll next face Great Britain on Wednesday, February 18th. You can explore the remainder of the U.S. Men's and Women's Curling schedule here.
