Olympics Curling provides a gold-medal fashion statement
Posted by Ralph Routon on Sun, Feb 21, 2010 at 9:52 AM
We've had enough serious stuff, so how about a break from all the events and medals?
How about awarding the gold medal for the most outlandish competition uniform at the 2010 Winter Olympics?
Some might look first at figure skating, with its sometimes-garish costumes (such as the feathery garb worn by several men skaters).
But my vote, without question, goes to the Norwegian men's curling team. And this should be one of those times when the photo is sufficient, far more than words could express.
Give 'em the gold....
- Could it start a new trend?

That is not the Canadian men's curling team, it is the Norwegian men's curling team. If you look carefully, the back of their shirts say, "Norge". I know their pants were the talk of all the sports pages in Canada but they are Norwegian not Canadian!

You are totally right, Zeds, and I was wrong. My brain thought Norway but my fingers typed Canada. It's been corrected, and thanks for bringing it to our attention.
