Darts star Scott Williams has joked his “penis hurts” after attempting a Winter Olympic sport for the first time. Williams, 36, is renowned for his flamboyant performances at the oche, and he was in Switzerland for an exhibition alongside Ricky Evans and Stefan Bellmont ahead of next week’s Players Championship.
Whilst in the Alpine country, he decided to have a go at curling, which left him feeling worse for wear. Nevertheless, he jokingly warned fans to avoid the sport entirely with a tongue-in-cheek video on social media: “I’m in Zurich doing an exhibition with Ricky Evans and Stefan Bellmont before the Players Championship events next week. We’re over here – it’s an absolutely delightful venue with delightful players.
“But yesterday I experienced curling for the first time. Not hair curling, obviously – my hair is not long enough for that. ut curling is going on in the Winter Olympics right now. As a large human being – a six-foot-four, without-the-heels-on human being – do not do it…
“Do not curl. Do not do curling. Do not get stones. Don’t even think about it because it is the most ridiculous sport. It’s the most painful sport I have ever experienced in my life and I don’t wish it upon anyone.
“My legs hurt, my neck hurts, my penis hurts – that’s probably because I caught it in the zipper. But that’s a different story. Don’t curl.”
