NickNickNick Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Can somebody confirm that heavy drinking is a requirement to compete in international curling?On the international scale? No. Local clubs? Oh for sure. You have to do something on a cold winter's night.TSN had a Top Ten greatest curling plays show on some time ago and one of the plays they picked was from the 1960s. Remarkable how much the game has changed. I can't remember the actual play because I was transfixed by the guy throwing the rock. Back then they used the straw brooms instead of the push brooms of now. They wore heavy knit button-up sweaters and wool tams! And I kid you not, the guy throwing the rock had a lit cigarette in his mouth!The only reason I even bring this up is that I believe (though I could be wrong) the Norwegian team in 2010 introduced those pants as a type of retro uniform honouring Norwegian teams from the '70s...It only took a couple weeks, but I found what everyone is looking for.http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=6x2B_1ShAZo#t=1012Head to about 16:30 for some hot action.
