After snapping a 24-year drought, Team USA women’s curling is one step away from making Winter Olympics history.

CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — After a rocky two weeks of Olympic curling that included accusations of cheating and a profanity-laced rant, the Canadian men will play for the gold medal at the Milan Cortina Games.

After a winter weather delay, the women’s Olympic team curling round robin got underway with playoff implications for three of the four sheets. The results were thrilling for the loud and boisterous crowd at the Cortina Olympic Curling Stadium.

"Milan has been very nice, and the people have been very hospitable. I'm walking everywhere, some people recognize me as the world's greatest curler, and some people have no idea who I am," said Shaq, laughing. When asked which winter sport he would compete in, the Big Diesel had two picks in mind.

It wasn’t easy, but the U.S. women’s curling team became America’s first to advance to the Olympics medal round with an 11-end victory over Switzerland in Cortina D’Azzepa, Italy. Making history, especially in sports, is rarely easy.
