The Pants are on the path to PyeongChang.
Norway’s curling federation named Thomas Ulsrud‘s rink — known for its flashy pants at the 2010 and 2014 Winter Games — as its Olympic curling team.
That’s provided Ulsrud and Co. finish in the top four at the European Championships in November.
That shouldn’t be a problem. Ulsrud earned medals at the last 10 European Championships, including making the final eight times.
If Ulsrud’s rink finishes between fifth and seventh place at Europeans, it will have a playoff with the other top Norwegian team for its Olympic spot.
