Curling: USA vs. Sweden Pick
2 of 3
Cory Thiesse and Korey Dropkin have the opportunity to etch their names in the history books Tuesday by becoming the first mixed doubles duo to capture the gold medal for Team USA.
To get to Tuesday's final, the duo had to overcome Italy's Stefania Constantini and Amos Mosaner, winners of gold in 2022 and a team who defeated Dropkin and Thiesse early in the day. They came from behind to win the semifinal, 9-8, and set up their date with history.
Isabella and Rasmus Wranå of Sweden await the duo and may be the toughest test the Americans will face in these Olympics. High-scoring siblings, they are a threat to put significant points on the board, as seen in their 13-7 victory over Switzerland earlier in the tournament.
The Americans have already defeated the Swedish pair, but the gold medal game is an entirely different beast than the round robin play they previously matched-up in. Still, Thiesse and Dropkin are chasing history and has overcome expectations to this point. With momentum on their side, and history within reach, there is no reason to believe they cannot leave Tuesday's match-up victoriously.
If the siblings Wranå can put up double-digit points, though, those gold medal aspirations take a significant hit.
Prediction: The Americans win gold
Hockey: USA vs. Canada Pick
3 of 3
In 2022, Canada defeated the United States to claim the gold medal in Beijing, 3-2. It was a major blow for the Americans but one that has fueled them back to the Olympic stage, with a chance to earn a huge victory over their rivals to the north Tuesday.
The United States has scored 10 goals through two games, dominating Czechia and Finland in their first two match-ups. They look the part of a gold medal team and one that can steamroll the competition to get there.
Canada is a tempo and speed-based squad, which matches up well against the Americans, who play similarly. Whether that is enough to curtail an offense that has been unstoppable early on in Milan Cortina is the question.
On the surface, a close game should be forecast but do not be surprised if Team USA, fueled by the memories of heartbreak following that gold medal loss to Canada four years earlier, wins by two or three goals if they can build momentum early.
Prediction: USA defeats Canada
