I went curling a couple times during my days in Anchorage. Picture a long, skinny ice rink attached to a much larger bar. The bar to sporting event ratio was larger than any bowling alley I've seen.

If you can stand up on the ice then you're not too drunk to curl

Canadian curling team booted from event for being 'extremely drunk': report

By Nicole Darrah | Fox News

An Olympic gold medalist, along with three other Canadian curling players, were kicked out of a tournament on Sunday for allegedly being "extremely drunk."

Four people — Ryan Fry, Jamie Koe, DJ Kidby and Chris Schille — were removed from the Red Deer Curling Classic in Alberta, Canada, according to CBC Sports.

The event, which was part of the World Curling Tour, was held at the Pidherney Curling Centre. The facility's manager reportedly labeled the curling players' behavior "unacceptable."

"They went out to curl and they were extremely drunk and breaking brooms and swearing and just unacceptable behavior that nobody wants to watch or hear or listen to and it was just 'enough was enough,'" Wade Thurber said.

He added "some damage" was discovered in the locker room, and noted that other teams were "complaining about their stuff being kicked around."

The World Curling Tour confirmed the players' removal from the tournament on Twitter, writing they were "ejected from the [event] due to unsportsmanlike behavior, forfeiting their remaining game."

Fry won an Olympic gold medal at the 2014 Sochi Winter Games when Canada took home their third consecutive gold medal for men's curling.

He apologized in a statement posted to Twitter on Monday, in which he emphasized "how sorry I am to everyone affected by my actions on Saturday."

Koe and Kidby also apologized on Twitter. Kidby wrote that the team "entered the event to compete and have fun at the same time and thinks got taken way too far."

Earlier Sunday the team, according to USA Today, tweeted out a photo of the four players alongside eight beer bottles with the caption "#TeamCorona2.0." The tweet has reportedly since been removed.

I would guess that Curling would be way more fun shitfaced.
And this is a great example of what passes for a "sport" in the Olympics. Roll Eyes

I'd love to see video of this.

Oh, wait, it would be just like me trying to walk on ice and sling a curling stone while sober!

It's not drunk curling until you start throwing beer mugs down the carpet in the bar area. Not that I've ever done that. SWEEP!

I was on a curling team in the 70s. It was actually pretty fun at the time.

I've always imagined curling as being one of those "snooty", quiet sports like lawn bowling or cricket. Guess I was wrong! I wonder if cruise ships have a problem with drunken shuffleboarders.

A better question is why would anyone curl sober?

Sgt Neutron, that animated gif is great!

Only thing shocking about it is they were drinking from glass bottles instead of cans (safer).

It's a fine line between being drunk enough to think that pushing a big stone with a handle on it across ice would be really a lot of fun, and so drunk that when you push the stone you fall flat and slowly spiral across the ice like a frozen rag doll. A fine line. Razz

I watched Women's Olympic Curling once, about a decade ago. Had never watched curling before. Pretty much, it involved lots of pretty ladies bent over screaming "HARD!!" That was my take-away.
