Thiesse, a Duluth, Minnesota native, also became the first woman to win an Olympic curling medal for the U.S. 

She will have a chance to pick up another medal when she competes in women's individual curling, but for Dropkin, Tuesday's final marked his sole event. 

"This week's been a dream," an emotional Dropkin added. "Rasmus and Isabella are great curlers. They deserve this. They played amazing."

Italy defeated Great Britain, 5-3, to round out the podium with a bronze medal.
