PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The American men have won the Olympic gold medal in curling in a decisive upset of Sweden.

John Shuster skipped the United States to a 10-7 victory on Saturday for only the second curling medal in U.S. history. Shuster was part of the other one, too, as the lead thrower on Pete Fenson's bronze-medal team at the 2006 Turin Games.

Shuster's last throw in the eighth end clacked off one Swedish stone and knocked it into another, sending them both skittering out of scoring range. Five American rocks were left behind. The score, known as a five-ender, is so rare it has only been topped once before in the history of the men's or women's Olympic final.
