Twitter reacts to United States winning first ever curling gold medal

Curling has been the cult hit of the 2018 Winter Olympic in South Korea. From two senators debating the merits of it as an Olympic sport to Mr. T becoming the next big fan of the game, it has been talked about more than any of us are comfortable with.

But that’s not going to end any time soon. Riding the hammer delivery of skip John Shuster, the United States defeated Sweden in the Gold Medal match early Saturday morning (U.S. time).

It’s the first ever gold for the United States in the sport.

Needless to say, Twitter was abuzz with the victory. Here are some of the best reactions from the social media site.

The Green Bay Packers themselves started the flood of amazing responses.

From there, it was all sorts of awesome.

This is what Curling uses to measure yet the NFL had a ref legitimately measure a first down with a folded piece of paper this season. pic.twitter.com/dp3yIU26YS

Yes, there’s a curling club somewhere.

Find me a greater reaction to a curling throw than this chick going BANANAS to the Miracurl On Ice 5 spot pic.twitter.com/qVDdKZVcnS

My former girlfriend from Toronto was constantly putting the US down and citing victories in hockey and figure skating as proof of Canada's superiority. I didn't care, and don't to this day.

She must be absolutely devastated to see the US pick up gold in curling of all things.

Much like curling, you don’t have to explain why you like it. pic.twitter.com/xMFkzY8dEZ

Sweeping victory for Team USA in curling.

What a story. They have to do a movie about this. It would almost be like combining “Dodgeball” with “Miracle.”

Congratulations to Team USA on this hard fought win. We’ll check back in with you in another four years. Until then, cheers.
