Fancypants Nowegian Curlers Have Fancy Pants

Taking a hint from the folks who outfit golf fashion plate John Daly, the Norwegian curling team deployed pants with patterned diamonds during a training session yesterday at the Vancouver Olympics, to the amazement and stupefaction of an awestruck planet.↵

↵↵So sayeth one catty CTV writer:↵

↵↵⇥Draw to the button is a classic curling term, but it might be what your eyes do when they see the Norwegian men’s curling team on the ice in Vancouver.↵↵↵RAWR! ↵

↵↵But the team that won gold at the Salt Lake games in 2002 isn’t paying the haters no mind. Nor are they likely to heed a vague Canadian curling rule about black pants that may or may not actually be enforced. ↵

↵↵⇥The Canadian Curling Association (CCA) mandates the wearing of black pants at all Canadian events, but according to Warren Hansen, CCA Director of Event Operations and Media, the World Curling Federation (WCF) might overlook the rule. ↵⇥↵⇥“The WCF is working on a dress code, but I do not think they have implemented it yet,” Hansen said.↵⇥

↵↵ ↵↵Don’t you wish you had worked faster, WCF? But don’t fret. Your folly is fashion’s gain!↵
