Attenborough makes curling sexy

Sir David Attenborough has put his personal touch on Olympic curling commentary.

BBC's Radio 1 asked the natural history presenter to provide some creative commentary of a curling match between the UK and USA teams in Sochi, reports the Sydney Morning Herald.

Sir David turned viewers attention to the "thrrrrust" of the "over-sized walnut" and the "gentle frisking" as players helped it down the ice.

"Here we have a pack of sliding curlers. Watch as the alpha female displays her dominance over the herd by tapping the head of the frisking broom to check for rogue insects."
