Naked ambition evades Dupont


DANISH curler Madeleine Dupont defended her decision to pose nude as her team agonisingly missed out on a semi-final spot at the Olympics on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old appeared topless in a magazine shoot called Fire on Ice, and admitted the sport's profile has been boosted, despite some lingering reservations.

'Most people think it's cool. People might think 'Oh, they can't play curling', but I think we can,' said Dupont after the 7-5 win over Japan in the final round of group matches.

'In Denmark, more people have heard of curling now which didn't before and now they watch it on TV and think 'Hey that's cool.' It's (the shoot] probably a bad thing. Not sure it's a good thing, but it is quite stylish and it's not totally out of line.'
