2005 World Championship Summary: Team USA finished the round robin at 10-1 to qualify for the the four team playoff. [Round Robin Results: USA-SCO 9-8, USA-DEN 6-5, USA-SUI 10-7, USA-CHI 7-4, USA-RUS 5-4, USA-JAP 12-1, USA-SWE 4-6, USA-FIN 9-4, USA-NOR 8-3, USA-CAN 10-7, USA-ITA 9-5]. In the first round of the playoff, Team USA knocked off previously unbeaten Sweden 6-5 with a steal in the tenth end. Sweden played their way back to the title game by beating Norway who had eliminated Canada earlier in the day. In the Gold Medal game, the score was tied 4-4 going after eight ends. Sweden, with the hammer, scored two in the ninth and then managed to keep US rocks out play and ended up winning by a deceptively wide 10-4 margin. Overall, a very impressive tournament for the young Team USA!
