“The Simpsons” again proved it could see into the future.
A “Simpsons” episode from 2010 depicted the USA beating Sweden to win the Olympic gold medal in curling. Just as in the episode, the U.S Men’s Olympic Curling Team won a gold medal Saturday after defeating Sweden 10-7 in the Pyeongchang games. The victory is the second curling medal ever for the United States.
The episode, titled “Boy Meets Curl,” which aired on Feb. 14, 2010, followed the lead character, Homer Simpson, and his wife, Marge, forming a curling team that went on to win gold.
Sweden took home silver just like in South Korea.
“Simpsons” writer Rob LaZebnik, who is credited with creating the episode, tweeted his congratulations to the victorious team and playfully mentioned the men were the second team to beat Sweden in curling at the Olympics, Entertainment Weekly reported.

“Congrats to USA Curling 2018 on their gold! Not the first time the US beat Sweden, though. Marge and Homer did it eight years ago,” LaZebnik tweeted.

Al Jean, an executive producer and writer on the long-running comedy, also mentioned the show’s ability to make correct predictions.
“Congratulations to US Men’s gold medal curling team! Good predictions can come true too!” Jean tweeted.
