US EditionCurling-Fancy pants Norway pay tribute to Ulsrud at Winter Games
- At the Cortina Curling Center, Norway's men's curling team revived red, white and blue argyle trousers for their match against Sweden on Tuesday.
- As a planned homage, the team agreed on a one‑game revival, with Magnus Ramsfjell saying, 'When we qualified for the Olympics, it was always in the back of our minds, 'Oh, we should really bring back the pants'.
- Historically, the trousers first turned heads at Vancouver 2010 as part of a Loudmouth Golf sponsorship, with King Harald V receiving a pair and fan pages gaining nearly 700,000 followers.
- Fans and commentators cheered the bold, diamond-printed trousers that lit up Cortina Curling Center, playfully breaking curling's traditional culture as rivals like Niklas Edin, Sweden joked about their clownish look.
- This new Norwegian team emphasized its role as a continuation of past teams, underscoring links to Ulsrud's era even though he is not on the 2026 roster, and urged carrying forward his energy into future competitions and the curling community.
