After a rogue squirrel scurried onto the course and got in the way of a competitor during the parallel giant slalom, Simpsons writer Josh Weinstein light-heartedly pointed out a scene from the show.

In another example of the show's ability to anticipate real-life events, The Simpsons predicted in 2010 that Homer's team would win gold to Sweden's silver in curling, proving once again that Matt Groening is a Time Traveller.

No one could have predicted that the US would win curling gold, right? Actually, the Simpsons did in a February 14, 2010 episode. They beat Sweden, who the US happened to beat to win gold today (H/T @dansnierson) pic.twitter.com/0gkhycQ3xF

This is getting ridiculous. The Simpsons are undefeated on predictions. https://t.co/pGHc437pno
