The slacks have generated so much attention that as the Norwegian team was walking off the ice after destroying France 9-2 on Monday, a Canadian fan asked if he could buy them right from the players. The Norwegians declined, preferring not to enter the post-game interview area in their undies. "We knew it was going to get a lot of attention," says Norwegian curler Haavard Vad Petersson, when asked about his team's sartorial selection. "But maybe a little more than...
