The Latest: US to take on Sweden for gold in men's curling

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — The Latest on the Pyeongchang Olympics (all times local):

10:50 p.m.

The United States will compete for a gold medal in men's curling after knocking out their Canadian opponents 5-3 in a tense semifinals showdown at the Pyeongchang Olympics.

The U.S. victory on Thursday is a remarkable turnaround for a team that hasn't made the Olympic podium since the 2006 Turin Games, when they won a bronze medal.

Just as remarkable was the loss for Canada, which has won the gold medal in men's curling at the last three Winter Olympics.
