A total of 87 student-athletes represented the United States of America at these Games in Torino, Italy. The United States competed in the sports of curling, figure skating, mens ice hockey, alpine skiing, short track speedskating and long track speedskating. BR>BR>Winning a total of five medals (one gold, one silver and three bronze), the 2007 U.S. Winter World University Games Team produced the best Winter Universiade medal output for the United States since the 1997 Winter World University Games, which were held in Muju/Chonju, Korea. BR>BR>No stranger to winning a medal in Torino; John Shuster (Chisholm, Minn./Duluth, Minn./University of Minnesota-Duluth) led his teammates Jeff Isaacson (Gilbert, Minn./Bemidji State University), Shane McKinlay (Hibbing, Minn./Hibbing Community College), Chris Plys (Duluth, Minn./Lake Superior College) and Kevin Johnson (Mapleton, Minn./Duluth, Minn./University of Minnesota-Duluth) to the gold medal in the mens curling competition in Pinerolo, Italy.
