Related: About this forumLet's talk Olympics, specifically Curling, more specifically, The Men of Curling Calendar!
http://l.yimg.com/bt/api/res/1.2/59H4TRnXkI.DqRwZIpnMmA--/YXBwaWQ9eW5ld3M7Zmk9ZmlsbDtoPTQyMTtweG9mZj01MDtweW9mZj0wO3E9NzU7dz03NDk-/SOCHI, Russia At first glance, one might think that the "Men of Curling" calendar is someone's idea of an elaborate Winter Olympics joke.
Male curlers flexing their muscles in various states of undress? I mean, come on. They're kidding, right?
But the calendar is not a joke. It is the brainchild of George Karrys, editor of the Curling News publication, who decided to compile the calendar for charity and had no shortage of appropriate models to choose from.
"Despite what people might think, there are plenty of good-looking men with a great physique who are among the best curlers in the world," Karrys said. "Once the sport started getting highly competitive, people started looking to fitness to gain an edge and the result was natural better bodies."
