BEIJING (AP) — The U.S. men’s curling team isn’t dwelling on the last time it played Sweden at the Olympics. It’s thinking of the next time. Sweden beat John Shuster’s foursome 7-4 on Thursday in a rematch of the Pyeongchang gold medal match. Niklas Edin’s team remained perfect in the round-robin and handed the defending champions their first loss of the Beijing Games. The result left the Americans hoping for a rematch against Edin’s foursome. That could happen only if they both qualify for the playoffs.
