Hot Pants, Olympic Style

Norway boys, and the UK girls, show us how its done.

The Norwegian Men's Curling Team (above) stood out from the crowd with their choice of harlequin pants:

"My Second is a real flashy dresser and he is trying to convert the rest of the team," Ulsrud, the team captain, said of the pattern."

Successfully, it seems. (btw, those blue, grey, white & red diamond golf pants are from a U.S. co called 'Loudmouth')


So it was intentional, wasn't it?...


Unlike this poor British bobsled babe:




Lucky Gillian Cooke was wearing a thong, since her bottom has been seen 'round the world.

"It has certainly raised the profile of our sport." she sportingly said. "I knew straight away it had split but I had to carry on otherwise we would have forfeited the race and I wasn't prepared to do that. My bum was freezing by the time we got to the end of the run, though!"

Ironically, the "wardrobe malfunction" occurred while the women's bobsleigh team were testing high performance body suits.

Now they know which one works for publicity.
