The United States mixed doubles curling team of Cory Thiesse and Korey Dropkin are 4-0 after two days of competition at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics following wins over Canada and Czechia on Friday.

Acknowledging those athletes on Friday was American pop star and worldwide-famous singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, who delivered a personal message ahead of their events over the next two-plus weeks.
