Norwegian pants add some razzle dazzle to opening curling draw
By Bill Graveland (CP) – 3 hours ago
VANCOUVER, B.C. — A bit of razzle and a lot of dazzle - the runway debut of the "flash pants" being worn by Thomas Ulsrud and his teammates from Oslo was a bigger success than the Norwegians' opening game against Canada's Kevin Martin at the Winter Olympics on Tuesday.
The Loudmouth Golf Dixie pants pants feature red, white and blue diamonds and are the same brand made famous by pro golfer John Daly.
They have become a hot topic of discussion among delighted fans and bemused curlers alike - a bit of flash in a traditionally non-flashy sport and a seeming throwback to the psychedelic '60s and '70s.
"I didn't expect this fuss about the pants," Ulsrud said moments after losing a 7-6 extra-end decision to Canada.
