New #scarf who dis? I FINALLY have a #Norway #Norge scarf. One more thing in my preparations for next year when @grandslamcurling brings the Meridian Open to Las Vegas. I checked the GSOC website and teams were announced on 12/17 (my parents’ wedding anniversary). If the #grandslamofcurling sticks to a similar schedule & announces on a Tuesday, that takes us to 12/15/20, which means my #Norwegians have 287 days to qualify/be invited. . . They say that one thing that helps realize a dream is to start acting as though you have already achieved it... it’s like willing the universe to actually deliver what you’ve been visualizing, so I’m going to act like @team.minera.skifer aka #TeamUlsrud have already qualified and been invited to the #GSOC event in January because I really want to meet them and cheer them on in person. . . Make sure you head over to the team’s IG and FB accounts & give Team Minera Skifer a follow for high-quality pics & vids & unparalleled level of fan engagement. . #MagnusVågberg - @magnusvagberg #MarkusHøiberg - @marshkus #SteffenWalstad - @steffenwalstad #ThomasUlsrud - @thomasulsrud . . 🥌❤️🇳🇴 🥌❤️🇳🇴 🥌❤️🇳🇴 🥌❤️🇳🇴 . #teammineraskifer #mineraskifer #goldlinecurling #curlingteam #curlingclub #curlingsport #curlingislife #curlinglife #curlingrocks #internationalcurling #worldcurling #norwaycurlingteam #norwegiancurling #norgescurlingforbund #curling #sports #wintersports #athletes . 🥌❤️🇳🇴 🥌❤️🇳🇴 🥌❤️🇳🇴 🥌❤️🇳🇴 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9SA9DBn3LY/?igshid=1s4jy3h5bzgov

Team Edin and Team Ulsrud are playing some friendly matches this weekend to prepare the new season. 

You can watch them today at 5:00 p.m CET on Team Edin facebook page

The Norwegian curling team wore red and pink pants with hearts for Valentine's Day

It's pretty cold in Pyeongchang, but Team Ulsrud's outfit choice will warm your heart.

The Norwegian curlers sported these showstoppers during the men's curling event at the Winter Olympics on Wednesday: bright red and pink trousers, complete with layers of hearts for Valentine's Day.

Yes, Team Ulsrud actually competed in these beauties. 

💕PANTS💕 Norway’s @TeamUlsrud don’t miss a beat. Valentines Day. And they’re bringing heart-stopping pants realness. #cbccurl pic.twitter.com/JnqYp4c6oH

And people quickly fell in love with these heartthrobs. 

My highlight of Valentine’s Day will probably be the Norway men’s curling team pants. pic.twitter.com/aU5YNahvNZ

Who needs a relationship when you have Team Ulsrud? They're the only Valentine you need. 

Happy Valentine's Day to you! From: the #Norwegian #curling team's pants! https://t.co/24Vam3G0vM pic.twitter.com/2p8oV2iCan

The Norwegian curling team has a history of wearing ridiculous pants during their competitions. In 2010, they wore showstopping argyle print pants to the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Since then, they've competed while wearing a variety of bright patterns. 

A Facebook group dedicated to Team Ulsrud's pants, not Team Ulsrud itself, has kept us updated on the team's attire. Recently, they wore these suits in the colors of Norway's flag.

And even though they lost to Japan during the Valentine's Day match, the Norwegian curling team has fans all over the world supporting them — and their choice in pants.

I couldn’t in good conscience wear my 🇳🇴 fancy pants to #ShockArmy rehearsals on Friday knowing my history of wardrobe challenges (*cough pants falling down because I have no butt to hold them up cough*) and the type of moves we tend to do while dancing. I’ve worn the pants to #curling in the past as originally intended by #TeamUlsrud 😂 So I wore my #Norway #jersey instead and took a pic w/ Tessa who is the only one I know in San Diego who’s partly #Norwegian (she’s 1/4) 😂 Still bummed I didn’t get to meet @team.minera.skifer and cheer them on in person over Valentine’s weekend, but hopefully there’ll be other events in the near future. Maybe they’ll get invited to the #ContCup2021 which might be coming back to Vegas? 😉🙏🤞 Note to self: I need to get a 🇳🇴 scarf & flag to go w/ my pants, jersey, and beanie. . 📷 Josh Brock . . #hiphop #dancer #danceteam #dancetroupe #ibuprofenforbreakfast #dancerforlife #nofilter #HeiaNorge (at Culture Shock Dance Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8uVx-zHhAN/?igshid=19qrp2u8jh8ga

#Curling fans, are you ready for the clash of the Nordic Titans? @TeamNiklasEdin and @kingcurling are both #undefeated at @badenmasters Once again, #TeamEdin and #TeamUlsrud will duke it out for another title. * Sorry, fangirls, unlike this photoshoot for #comfyballs @NiklasEdin @ThomasUlsrud and the rest of their teammates will be fully clothed in the final. Apparently it’s quite cold in the #BadenMasters venue… but that’s not gonna stop me from sharing this photo 😉 I actually hope they’ll do more promos w/ @comfyballs_nordic and/or @comfyballs_global in the future. * 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♀️ Living the walking dead status again due to lack of sleep.

Super stoked to hear that #TeamUlsrud will be taking over the WCF’s IG tomorrow. Bummed to hear that the team won’t be going to Baden Masters due to COVID travel restrictions (I’m actually thinking the event might get cancelled if enough teams can’t compete and the event is not financially viable), but at least we’ll get to see the Norwegians back on the ice. I really hope that this exposes more curling fans to the new Team Ulsrud. I think most folks will always equate Thomas w/ fancy pants and now that he’s reunited w/ Torger, there might be even more pressure from longtime fans to bring back the pantalones, but this is a new team w/ its own identity, and the gray pants are actually quite fitting w/ their title sponsor - @minera.skifer provides high-quality slate and other rock products. Talk about an appropriate sponsor for a curling team LOL 🥌🥌🥌 . Don’t forget to follow the team on IG and FB and the team members on IG. According to their FB, there might be giveaways! I hope they do the Q&A box because I have lots of questions 😬 #MagnusVågberg - @magnusvagberg #MarkusHøiberg - @marshkus #TorgerNergård - no IG 🙁 #ThomasUlsrud - @thomasulsrud . . . ‪#teammineraskifer #mineraskifer #curling #curlingteam #curlinglife #curlingrocks #internationalcurling #worldcurling #norwaycurlingteam #norwegiancurling #norgescurlingforbund #sports #athletes #wintersports #Norway #Norge . 🥌❤️🇳🇴🥌❤️🇳🇴🥌❤️🇳🇴🥌❤️🇳🇴 . . #Repost @worldcurling ・・・ Love to see it 😍 Norwegian curlers are back on the ice and taking you along for their training day tomorrow! 🙌 Stay tuned for some fun with @team.minera.skifer https://www.instagram.com/p/CEFBpxqDO8-/?igshid=l04lop1uvzpn

I have to say, I was surprised to wake up to news that @grandslamofcurling is coming to #LasVegas in 2021. I was thinking #ContCup2021 or maybe Worlds, but I’ll take a #GSOC on US soil! I’ll visit Canada eventually and stock up on @lofbergs coffee and Voltaren gel. . . Since they’re using @niklasedin in the promos, that means there’s no chance @teamniklasedin will withdraw from the event, right? I know certain events have eligibility requirements so I hope @team.minera.skifer will be competing at the #MeridianOpen 🙏🤞 I should have a Norway flag and scarf by then to be my usual extraAF self. I really hope to meet #TeamUlsrud someday, they post the best content on IG & FB and have been wonderful w/ fan engagement. Make sure you’re following them on social media! . . No word yet on where the Continental Cup will be come 2021 though. They wouldn’t host both the CC and a GSOC in Vegas back to back, right? A fangirl only has so many days off from work and San Diego Comic Con already takes a week! Luckily I have almost a year to save up and plan again like the Continental Cup, hope it will turn out much better and not result in heartbreak and disappointment. . . 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 #NiklasEdin #Bionik #NinjaThor #CurlingMachine #PoolShark #KatnikEveredin #therealgoat #TeamEdin #Icevengers #Sweden #EdinForTheWin #athlete #olympian #curling #sports #wintersports #olympicsilvermedalist #worldchampion #europeanchampion #goatsofinstagram #lilterror #fangirlwithaniphone #IBELIEVEEDINWILLWIN 🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪🥌💙💛🇸🇪 https://www.instagram.com/p/B8y0I7RnO9V/?igshid=16f81ec5k841k

Bummed I’m not in #Calgary for the #GlencoeInvitational this #ValentinesDay weekend. I really wanted to finally meet the new #TeamUlsrud aka @team.minera.skifer I was stoked when I first heard about it & waited with bated breath for more info. Unfortunately, the only way an American fangirl like me could’ve gotten tix to this exclusive soldout funspiel was to be the highest bidder on the last 4 tickets left made available recently. Yea I didn’t want to risk spending $$$$ on a trip to Canada for #curling w/o tix to the event. . . Silver lining might be that I won’t be getting thrown out of the venue for extreme fangirling 😂 I commissioned this curling #digitalart #fanart from @doodledarren who happens to be the Assistant Director of the hip hop dance group I’m in and a talented #artist He’s drawn me w/ @teamniklasedin & @saramcmanus in the past. The inspiration is of course me fangirling at the event, complete w/ a sign, the total opposite of real life. The only accurate thing about me in this photo is that I do own 🇳🇴 fancy pants. I unfortunately don’t have a 🥌🇨🇦 toque & will never own the new Team Edin hoodie from @dynastycurling . . Perhaps it’s for the best because meeting @niklasedin & Team Edin in Vegas last year has taught me there’s some truth to the saying Never Meet Your Heroes/Idols, because you’ll be disappointed. I still hope there will come a day when I’ll meet Team Minera Skifer, and when that happens I hope they’ll be okay w/ who I am as a person—I’m nowhere near as dynamic or as interesting as my social media persona would lead you to believe. Apparently meeting me causes people to cut off communication 🤷‍♀️ . . Make sure you head over to the team’s IG and FB accounts & give Team Minera Skifer a follow for high-quality pics & vids & unparalleled level of fan engagement. . #MagnusVågberg - @magnusvagberg #MarkusHøiberg - @marshkus #SteffenWalstad - @steffenwalstad #ThomasUlsrud - @thomasulsrud . . Good luck & good curling to @teamkevinkoe #TeamEdin #TeamGlennHoward & Team Ulsrud this weekend. I hope we’ll see scores, pics & vids of the event as it continues. Hope JMo’s broken wrist didn’t give too many fangirls heart attacks. #TGIF https://www.instagram.com/p/B8j42xgHN_D/?igshid=1t9pa0rgwg53k

Curling fans, please join me in showing #TeamNorway some love and appreciation for the way they’ve played this week especially after what happened in what is now being called #Broomgate2 I’m 💔 I really wish 🇳🇴 Had made it to the semifinals. It was wicked close... Needed Italy to win and they didn’t. Gotta love the tenacity & resilience #TeamUlsrud have shown after how the week began. They did everything they could to claw their way out of that devastating deficit. Wishing the #Norwegians good luck the rest of the season. They’ll only get better with more time & experience playing together. Can’t wait to see more 🇸🇪 vs 🇳🇴 action in the future (2020 Worlds final perhaps?). Thanks for making being a curling fangirl a fun experience on IG & FB, you’re killing it in the social media game. I hope this leads to more sponsors in the near future. . . #MagnusVågberg - @magnusvagberg #MarkusHøiberg - @marshkus #SteffenWalstad - @steffenwalstad #ThomasUlsrud - @thomasulsrud . . . ‪#ECC2019 #teammineraskifer #mineraskifer #curling #curlingteam #curlinglife #curlingrocks #internationalcurling #worldcurling #norwaycurlingteam #norwegiancurling #norgescurlingforbund #sports #athletes #wintersports #goldlinecurling #fangirlwithaniphone #wherestheswedenteamphoto . . 📸 #WCF https://www.instagram.com/p/B5IF7LCHo_e/?igshid=ocgp7u2waoxx

Congrats to @team.minera.skifer on their win against Team Germany earlier 👏👏👏 It was neat to see #ThomasUlsrud and #TeamMineraSkifer on tv even for a little bit. Looking forward to when the new #TeamUlsrud faces off against @teamniklasedin later on in the European Championships - it’s the 2nd of 3 games featuring Team Edin that will be shown on tv in the US. I highly recommend #curling fans check out the #Norwegians on social media. They produce quality content and IMHO are #THEBEST when it comes to fan engagement. Yes I’m biased because theirs is one of my FB Top Fan badges that hasn’t been manually removed and taken away from me by the PA/CZ SM team. Whoever runs their social media has been wonderful so far to this #fangirlwithaniphone Thanks #TeamNorway 👍 #wintersports #sports #athlete #CelineStucki #sportsphotography #WCF ❤️🥌🇳🇴❤️🥌🇳🇴❤️🥌🇳🇴❤️🥌🇳🇴 #Repost @worldcurling ・・・ Game play from the men’s night session at the #ECC2019 (Glad to have Thomas Ulsrud back after retirement) 😂🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷 WCF @stuckiceline (at Olympiarinken) https://www.instagram.com/p/B485RZVnoau/?igshid=7wi6qjp5lu2u

#MCM shoutout for the members of @team.minera.skifer aka #TeamUlsrud The #Norwegians are getting prepped for the upcoming European Championships in Helsingborg Sweden. I’m excited that I’ll get to see @thomasulsrud to duke it out again against @niklasedin Even better that the Team Ulsrud vs @teamniklasedin game will be broadcast on tv in the US on Olympic Channel. Glad I don’t have to bend over backwards and go out of my way just to watch curling on tv. Canadians have no idea how hard it is to be a hardcore curling fangirl when you live outside of Canada. Personally rooting for a good old fashioned Clash of the Nordic Titans final 🙏🤞 Excited because I actually have enough clothes to do a perfect mashup of both Sweden and Norway hahaha. Or maybe just be head to toe 🇳🇴 IDK we’ll see... . Make sure you head over to the team’s IG and FB to see player bio videos and various factoids about the #athletes You will enjoy the beautiful pics and awesome vids. Make sure you give the team some love, you won’t regret it. Whoever controls their social media has been wonderful at fan engagement so far. They’ve established a bar so high when it comes to engaging with and appreciating their fans that no other curling team remotely even comes close. Keep doing all the right things you’re doing, and please, never EVER turn over control of your social media to the PA/CZ team. . . #MagnusVågberg - @magnusvagberg #MarkusHøiberg - @marshkus #SteffenWalstad - @steffenwalstad #ThomasUlsrud - @thomasulsrud . . . #Repost @team.minera.skifer ・・・ Closing in on the European Championships- first game is in one week vs Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 ⠀⠀ SVT broadcasts ten matches from the group play and the entire playoffs 👍🏼 .

#MCM shoutout for the members of @team.minera.skifer aka #TeamUlsrud The #Norwegians had a great run at the Champery Masters in Switzerland, reaching the final. Good to see the new team start to get their groove. It can be a difficult adjustment, but they’re getting there. Wishing them good luck in their next event (European Championships maybe?). I’m still waiting for @thomasulsrud to duke it out again against @niklasedin in a good old fashioned Clash of the Nordic Titans final.

Why yes I DID show up to @curlsandiego ‘s #learntocurl session all decked out for #Norway 🇳🇴 I had been planning for this in anticipation of a Clash of the Nordic Titans Champery Masters final. I don’t have a pic, but it was so cold I had to put on my usual uniform of the @teamniklasedin hoodie from @dynastycurling before Learn To Curl actually got underway, and obviously I use the #TeamEdin @hardlinecurling broom so it was a perfect mashup. Sadly, #therealgoat 🐐@niklasedin & my Swedish Vikings were eliminated from competition during the QF so I’m deprived of a #TeamEdin vs #TeamUlsrud for now. Congrats to #TeamMineraSkifer on reaching the final. Rooting for you to win. But maybe the bigger congratulations should go to Nik - his @millu_se sponsorship must be lucrative enough that he can bribe @thomasulsrud to tell his “people” to try and lure me away from Team Edin through good old fashioned quality fan engagement on social media. Thank you for not having a Twitter account where you can mute my tweets for excessive fangirling. I know the #fancypantalones are retired, but these pants are a new addition to my collection and they were a huge hit among my fellow #CurlSanDiego members volunteering as Learn To Curl instructors. IDK if they’re lucky, but I was 🔥 during the mini game we played with the students on sheet B - 2 students were paired off w/ 2 current members on each team. It was the first time I skipped & actually threw last stones and I was nailing raises and even a super nice takeout of 2 stones in the house. Where were these shots during playoffs where I got creamed?!? #curling #HardlineNation #curlingfangirl (at Curl San Diego) https://www.instagram.com/p/B31jmIQHhQL/?igshid=1u5p02vgqm3jy
