Theme Week, Part Americas

Jeremy's Sametime Status Proudly Presents: 2014 Olympic Curling Athlete True or False Week! 
Day X:  James Van Riemsdyk



Alas, all good things must come to an end.  Today is the final day of Olympic Theme Week.  One last chance to show your mettle while the greatest athletes in the world try for medals. 


That's right. Today's topic is James Van Riemsdyk.  All you have to do is tell us whether James is a 2014 Olympic Curling Competitor or not.  Easy!

Yesterday, we talked about Thomas Ulsrud.  Thomas is not only a 2014 Olympic Curler, but arguably one of the most recognizable people in international curling today.  Not so much for his curling prowess (He is the Skip for a Norwegian team that barely lost a tiebreaker for the Olympic Semifinals), but for his keep eye for fashion. 

Ulsrud is, in fact, the leader of the team most noted for wearing Amazing Pants during their bonspiels.  Unfortunately, the Pants weren't enough, as Team Great Britain took two points in the final end to secure a 6-5 come-from-behind victory over Norway this past Tuesday to move on to the Semis.  Great Britain would later go on to win Silver in men's curling.
