You are interested in curling. You are interested in it.
So far we’ve enjoyed the comedic side of the sport as well as its putridly hot, pants-tightening babes, but we haven’t exposed curling’s dark underbelly. Bodies have been BRUISED during this bone-shattering Olympic sport, and the brutal fall of Russian curler Andrey Drozdov is evidence of that.
Watch with Faces of Death-style shock and awe as everything that could go wrong DOES, and Droz goes brains first into the ice. Via NBC:
There are certain events at the Winter Olympics where onlookers could expect to see a wipeout or two. Snowboarding, skiing, even the odd speed skating crash is a possibility – but curling is a sport that doesn’t typically lend itself to these more sensational highlights. That was until Russia’s 7-6 victory over Switzerland Thursday morning, during which Andrey Drozdov toppled painfully over a ricocheted stone and drilled his head on the ice.
A Drozdov falling wrong and hurting himself. Where have I read about that before?
Anyway, curling is not a sport for pantywastes and sissies. Shake it off, Drozdov.
