Yahoo – A Danish curler was brought to tears after a boisterous Canadian crowd intentionally distracted her during crucial shots in her team’s match against the home nation. With the crowd stomping and making deafening noise, Denmark skip Madeleine Dupont missed two potentially game-winning shots and tearfully blamed the fans for it afterward. After the match, Dupont told reporters: “I could not control the weight on the last shot in the 10th. It should have been way slower, but when there are 6,000 people yelling, it’s pretty hard to find out how hard you kick off. It’s just so hard to focus. You’re trying, but it’s just not the same as if it was silent. “If they were yelling this much when Cheryl was throwing, that would be more fair. You can’t hear anything. You can’t hear what your skip is saying. You can’t hear what your sweepers are saying. You just have to do your best under the circumstances – and we did, but it was hard in the 10th.” Even the Canadian curling team agrees. Skip Cheryl Bernard said of the boisterous fans at the rink:You have to give them something for that, but I think we need to have it a little bit quieter for the opposition because it’s uncomfortable for them.”

Oh boo hoo, boo hoo. The crowd was making too much noise. I couldn’t concentrate. It’s not fair. It was too uncomfortable for the other team. Give me a break. This just reinforces everything I believe about the Olympics being a joke. Yeah I know you can’t make noise in golf either but I think that’s a joke too. Bottom-line is any sport where the crowd has to be quiet because the competitors can’t concentrate is more a hobby than anything else. Like concentration and being able to block out crowd noise is what makes good athletes great and fake athletes cry. Now shut up and get naked.
