Team USA Curling Roster for 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics
Team USA Curling heads to the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics with three rinks — men’s, women’s and mixed doubles — and more than half of the competitors making their Olympic debut. The teams arrive confident and determined to compete at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium in the Dolomites.
Men’s Team: Team Casper — Skip Danny Casper; Aidan Oldenburg (lead), Ben Richardson (second), Luc Violette (third), Rich Ruohonen (alternate). Casper returned to the sport after a diagnosis of Guillain-Barré Syndrome and then toppled John Shuster in a three-game Olympic Trials final; Team Casper secured their Olympic spot by defeating China at the Olympic Qualification Event in Kelowna.
Women’s Team: Team Peterson — Skip Tabitha Peterson Lovick; Taylor Anderson-Heide (lead), Tara Peterson (second), Cory Thiesse (third), Aileen Geving (alternate). Team Peterson earned its berth by beating top-seeded Team Roervik of Norway at the OQE, with steady play from Cory Thiesse.
