The 2014 women's Olympic curling tournament gets underway today in Sochi. The all-Scottish Great Britain team led by Eve Muirhead are the favourites for the gold medal - but who will be crowned as the sexiest woman of the competition, succeeding the 2010 winner Natalie Nicholson? I suspect the contenders may include Eve Muirhead herself, the Russian skip Anna Sidorova, and the Swiss player Carmen Schäfer, who famously posed nude for a photo-shoot a few years ago.

Natalie Nicholson voted sexiest woman of the 2010 Olympic curling tournament
Assisted by an apparent coordinated effort by supporters of Celtic football club in Scotland (!), American lead Natalie Nicholson is the surprise runaway winner of our Olympic curling poll. There were many twists and turns during the course of the voting, with Denmark's Madeleine Dupont taking an early lead, while Nicholson failed to secure a single vote in the early days. But once the Nicholson juggernaut got underway, Dupont started to fade quite badly, and her Danish team-mate Camilla Jensen began to look like the best bet to deny Nicholson the crown. Indeed, Jensen did briefly sneak into the lead, but then there was another huge influx of Celtic-fans-for-Nicholson (beats me), at which point the lead became unassailable. Jensen did however secure second place, holding on in spite of a late flurry of votes for Switzerland's Carmen Schäfer - probably a reflection of the fact that Switzerland reached the medal matches and Denmark did not. Scotland's Eve Muirhead (nominally representing Great Britain for the purposes of the Olympics) followed up her third place in last year's World Championships poll by pipping Madeleine Dupont for fourth place.
Hear are the full results. As the number of votes cast was so huge this time round, I've listed the actual number of votes for each woman, rather than percentages -
1 Natalie Nicholson (USA) 188
2 Camilla Jensen (Denmark) 151
3 Carmen Schäfer (Switzerland) 143
4 Eve Muirhead (Great Britain) 97
5 Madeleine Dupont (Denmark) 94
6 Cheryl Bernard (Canada) 37
7 Ludmila Privivkova (Russia) 36
= Melanie Robillard (Germany) 36
9 Nicole Joraanstad (USA) 34
10 Anna le Moine (Sweden) 28
11 Eva Lund (Sweden) 24
12 Anna Sidorova (Russia) 21
13 Janine Greiner (Switzerland) 20
14 Ekaterina Galkina (Russia) 17
15 Debbie McCormick (USA) 16
16 Denise Dupont (Denmark) 15
17 Margarita Fomina (Russia) 14
18 Jackie Lockhart (Great Britain) 12

Jennifer Jones voted sexiest woman of 2009 World Curling Championships
Her team may have traded the status of world champions for the dreaded medal-free fourth place, but Jennifer Jones held on in a tight race against Carmen Schaefer and Eve Muirhead to be crowned the sexiest competitor in this year's women's world curling championships. (Do you think I might be in danger of over-selling this slightly?) In fourth place was the early frontrunner Marianne Rørvik, who rallied somewhat after falling back midway through the voting.
1. Jennifer Jones (Canada) 18%
2. Carmen Schaefer (Switzerland) 16%
3. Eve Muirhead (Scotland) 15%
4. Marianne Rørvik (Norway) 8%
5. Eva Lund (Sweden) 7%
6. Jackie Lockhart (Scotland) 6%
7. Melanie Robillard (Germany) 6%
8. Liudmilla Privivkova (Russia) 5%
9. Madeleine Dupont (Denmark) 4%
