"For the first time in two decades, John Shuster will not represent the United States at an Olympic Games. The skip who led his team to the United States' only curling gold medal in 2018 will give way to the 24-year-old Casper, whose team upset Shuster at the U.S. team trials. Team Casper includes Luc Violette, Ben Richardson, Aidan Oldenburg and Rich Ruohonen."
"Ruohonen, a 54-year-old alternate, would be the oldest American to compete in a Winter Olympics in any medal sport if he is called into action."
