It was written in the stars above Springfield.
The U.S. mens curling teams unexpected gold at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, on Saturday shouldnt have come as a surprise to fans of The Simpsons .
Thats because Foxs animated comedy show accurately predicted a Team USA gold in the sport back on Valentines Day in 2010.
In an episode titled Boy Meets Curl, Homer and Marge Simpson and Agnes and Seymour Skinner topped the podium for curling. And whats even spookier is that, just as on Saturday, the cartoon quartet beat Sweden to do so.
ESPN reporter Darren Rovell noted the accurate prediction on Twitter:
No one could have predicted that the US would win curling gold, right? Actually, the Simpsons did in a February 14, 2010 episode. They beat Sweden, who the US happened to beat to win gold today (H/T @dansnierson) pic.twitter.com/0gkhycQ3xF
