They have been curling in Scotland for 500 years. Will the upstarts from the colonies be able to beat them at their own game?

The United States will try to win its first Olympic curling medal when it faces a British team from Scotland for the bronze. Canada will play Finland for the gold. Curling is the No. 2 sport in Canada, behind hockey. More than 94 percent of the world's curlers live there, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Company. But Canada has won only one curling gold — the women's in 1998.
