1998 was an important year for curling, in that the 1998 olympics marked the first year for curling as a medal sport. Curling was featured in the olympics as a demonstration sport in 1924, but was soon dropped and had a very hard time getting back in. Sandra Schmirler and her team will go down in history as the first team ever to bring home olympic gold for the sport of curling. They are still the only team to have done so (The Mike Harris Rink brought home silver in 1998; in 2002 the Kevin Martin Rink brought home silver and the Kelley Law Rink brought home bronze.)
