Streaker Runs Across Ice in Curling Match
Feb 24 7:07 PM US/Eastern
PINEROLO, Italy
The men's bronze medal match Friday was interrupted by a streaker. Midway through the United States' 8-6 win over Britain, a man wearing what appeared to be a strategically placed rubber chicken ran onto one of the covered sheets of ice not being used in that session.
He danced around for a bit but never tried to approach any of the players.
Curlers probably feel a little safer than most athletes _ it's hard for intruders to run across ice, especially if they're naked. John Shuster said he never felt in danger.
"Olympic security's been amazing here," he said. "We weren't worried at all."
A couple of security officials from the venue hovered near the streaker for several seconds before finally covering him and leading him away.

Male or female streaker??? Never mind, that will be impossible to determine until after the spring that.

A couple of security officials from the venue hovered near the streaker for several seconds before finally covering him and leading him away. "The streaker was later released by authorities, after the local magistrate declined to charge the man with indecent exposure. When asked why the streaker wasn't charged, officials shrugged their shoulders, pointed to the streaker's nether region, and said: "Insufficient evidence."
