U.S. Men Trail Early Again, Lose Bronze

The U.S. men fell behind early for the second match in a row and lost, 9-4, to Norway on Sunday in the bronze-medal match of the inaugural Olympic curling tournament.

Led by team captain Tim Somerville, the U.S. had rallied by winning three consecutive matches, two in tiebreakers, before losing to Canada, 7-1, in the semifinals.

Canada will meet Switzerland, an 8-7 semifinal winner over Norway, for the gold medal.
