This marks the second time in women’s curling history that the United States has made it to the semifinals at the Winter Olympics.
Recently, a team of four, led by skip Tabitha Peterson, found themselves in a high-stakes situation during the last game of the round-robin stage. The U.S. women’s curling team, ranked 17th globally, needed a victory against the second-ranked Switzerland to progress to the semifinals.
As they entered the extra end tied at 6-6, Peterson executed the crucial shot that sealed their win.
Now, they face Switzerland again in the semifinals. The stakes remain high, as a loss would result in a chance to compete for the bronze medal instead.
