With Britain taking on Canada in the 1:30pm final, so-called fans were seen drinking heavily and picking fights with locals and opposition fans alike. Running battles throughout the streets of Sochi saw bars and restaurants destroyed and numerous arrests made. A Sochi police spokesperson told us, “We had heard rumours of the infamous curling hooligans, but nothing had prepared us for this.” “They were shouting at passers-by, drinking heavily and abusing other nations in the form of song long before the violence broke out.” “We suspect some of these people are not even curling fans at all, they are just here to fight.” A member of the British curling ‘firm’ agreed to speak with us on the basis we didn’t print Left: The suspected leaders of the curling firm his name. He told us, “We’re here to show these poncy foreigners how it’s done.” “I always said I’d never miss it if we made it to a major final, and here I am. I can’t wait to see the boys smash the Canadians, and if I get a chance to smash a few Canadians myself on the way to the ice-cube, then great!” One Stop Service Olympic officials appealed for calm before the final, but also admitted that it was proving difficult to root out hooliganism in the sport. A spokesperson told us, “We have programmes of education in place, but ultimately if a fan wants to come here, get drunk and fight, there’s not a lot we can do about it.” “It’s just a shame for curling.” Construction P.
