Curling is a fan favourite at the IMPS* Olympics.
It was snowing quite a bit during the curling competition which accounts for the fuzzy photo. However, the intrepid Team Gnome played on. And captured the gold medal! Beard curling is also part of this event so gnomes have a definite edge.
(When I asked Henri why he doesn’t like sweeping at home, he pretended not to know what I was talking about.)

well done.
i’m reminded of the New York International Gardening Competition held in 1997, which was won by a team of garden gnomes.
cheers.

Yay Team Gnome! Maybe if there’s a bit of floor you need sweeping at home you could give Henri a broom and roll a rock in front of him.

That rogue Henri, not sweeping at home.
Ha ha – great photo of the gnomes in their curling get up. My, it got up quite a blizzard that day didn’t it. I bet they froze their rocks off.

Rogue, indeed, Sir Doubtpuppet! 🙂 Gnomes are hearty so they played through and swept the other competitors off the ice.

I see that they have two types of brooms: they must have borrowed the regular ones from some witches! OH! No wonder they won … no, they wouldn’t need witchcraft to win …? Henri had better not slap me in the face with a glove! Tell him I meant no insult, just a little ribbing 😉

None of the gnome team (nor the other IMPS for that matter) would stoop that low 😀

Of course not, although just to be precise, they wouldn’t need to stoop.

I agree with Henri! I’ve never participated in Curling myself, but sweeping on ice looks much more fun than sweeping floors at home, that’s for sure.
But i love love Olympic Curling. It’s my favorite! Well, i also live halfpipe and skiing and and and…

I agree! Curling looks like fun. The halfpipe, slopestyle and sledding are my new faves! To watch, not actually do! 🙂
