Guillain-Barré Syndrome

Danny Casper, the 24-year-old skip for Team USA's men's curling squad, has overcome the effects of Guillain-Barré Syndrome to compete at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. Diagnosed in June 2024 after months of debilitating symptoms, Casper guided his team to a victory over Czechia in their opening match on Wednesday. Despite lingering pain and weakness, he remains focused on pursuing a gold medal.
