City of Duluth to light Enger Tower tonight, February 17 in red, white and blue

[Duluth, MN] The City of Duluth will light Enger Tower in red, white, and blue tonight, February 17, to lift up Team Shuster as they head into the bronze medal game. Team Shuster won the United States' first Olympic gold medal in curling in 2018.

"Team Shuster is a part of the Duluth community," Duluth Mayor Emily Larson said. "They are not only incredible athletes, they are valuable members of our community. Seeing them compete again at this level is remarkable and exciting. While we can't be in China to cheer them on, lighting Enger was a way that we could show them that we are watching and cheering them on from home."

Enger Tower will continue to be lit in red, white, and blue tomorrow, February 18, through Sunday, February 20, in recognition of all of the athletes, coaches, and staff who are from Duluth, current University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD) athletes, UMD alumni, and College of Saint Scholastica alumni that participated in the 2022 Winter Olympic games.

"The City of Duluth is so proud of the athletes, coaches, and staff who competed in this year's Olympic games," Mayor Larson said. "It has been fun to see the community rally together to support those who are from our community, used to live here, or are going to school here. The support we have seen is a testament to how Duluthians lift up one another. It's just what we do."
