BEIJING — John Shuster is a big shot maker. This is the same person who, four years ago, won a gold medal in men's curling for Team USA with a game-changing, house-clearing heave that led to five points against Sweden that locked up the win.
If Shuster says he has a shot, then he has a shot.
And he really thought he could grab two points in the eighth end on Tuesday when he had the hammer and saw a path to tying the game with Italy.
