First it was the sexy women. Then it was their crazy uniforms. And now it’s the awesome wipe outs that provide us with the latest reason to care about curling at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.

“The ice is slippery,” said Russian skip Andrey Drozdov. “I slipped and fell on it.”

“It is slippery,” he said.
When asked if anything else in Sochi is slippery, Drozdov replied, “The soap, in the shower. It is slippery. Also some of the snow, which is more packed-in, but is not quite ice – snow can be slippery.
“Mostly, though, it is the ice, which is slippery.”
