Devastated Americans burst into tears on TV after dropping to bitter rival Canada and lacking out on medal in girls’s Winter Olympics curling

All four members of Team USA‘s women’s curling team were left in tears after they missed out on a bronze medal to bitter rival Canada.

The team of Tabitha Peterson, Cory Thiesse, Tara Peterson and Taylor Anderson-Heide were beaten 10-7 on the penultimate day of the Winter Olympics.

And they struggled to hide their devastation as they all broke down during their post-game interview with NBC. 

Defeat means Team USA only won a single piece of hardware in curling at the Games, thanks to Thiesse and partner Korey Dropkin’s silver in the mixed doubles.

Thiesse made history on Saturday, however, after setting a new record for the most ends played by a single curler in Olympics history.
