Kyle Mack Catches Air For Silver
In the high-flying competition known as big air, snowboarder Kyle Mack landed on the podium with a silver medal by executing a trick called the "Bloody Dracula." Casual.
Kyle Mack can't quite believe he landed that.

He pulls the "bloody dracula" out of the bag and goes into second.

Mr. T: Curling's Biggest Fan
Most people might know of Mr. T for being big and tough and pitying fools. But during the Olympics, the only fools he's pitying are those not watching his new favorite sport: curling. Mr. T took to Twitter regularly to express his support of Team USA.
I am sitting on my comfortable couch with a ice tea in my hand. That means only one thing- it’s curling time fool. #TeamUSA #curlingiscoolfool
— Mr. T (@MrT) February 24, 2018
That’s right US Men’s curling is about to battle Sweden for the gold! I repeat our team, my team, your team, the USA team. Is going for the Gold medal. @TeamShuster #TeamUSA #curlingiscoolfool

But Mr. T didn’t just keep to Twitter. He took a more personal approach to pump up the team.

A Curling Coronation
Team Shuster completed the biggest comeback story in U.S. curling history during the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018. John Shuster became an American hero when he led his team to a gold medal after having a rought start in round-robin play, sitting at 2-4. Team Shuster's gold medal is the first curling gold medal in Team USA history and only the second medal ever. The kings of curling captured the attention of thousands of Team USA fans on Twitter and here's a look at what some had to say:
