The U.S. won its first curling gold medal after beating Sweden 10-7 early Saturday morning. The country stayed up until after 4 a.m. ET to watch what has been dubbed the “miracurl on ice” and to tweet about the country’s new favorite sport.
Mr. T jumped on the curling bandwagon early, and even called the team before the gold-medal game. Needless to say, he’s quite pleased.
Congratulations USA @TeamShuster we did it! John shuster, Tyler George, Matt Hamilton, John Landsteiner and Joe Polo. Magnificent, I’m so proud of you guys! #Curling #CurlingNightInAmerica #curlingiscoolfool #teamusa #usacurling

The curling team also had great support from the women’s hockey team, some of whom also took to Twitter to congratulate them.

Past Olympians also gave the curlers some love. Former U.S. curler Jessica Schultz was feeling a lot of feelings.
