Fringe costumes are all the rage in the ice dancing competition
Ice dancing is a fringe sport.
No, seriously, we mean that literally. There was a team wearing fringe everywhere you looked during Monday’s Olympic competition in PyeongChang.
This couple from the Ukraine started things off by wearing something from Paula Abdul’s closet during her days as a Laker Girl …
… while other competitors looked like they were paying tribute to late wrestlers (and fringe aficionados) “Macho Man” Randy Savage and Ultimate Warrior…
In between there was canary fringe, classy fringe … enough fringe that you wondered if there was a meeting at some point and everyone decided to wear the one thing that would make everyone take ice dancing less seriously than they already do.
Here’s a slideshow of all the fringe costumes:
As you might imagine, people had opinions on the fringe, including the legendary Dick Button …
Nazarova/Nakin There's too much fringe in that costume

… and comedian Leslie Jones …
I’m perplexed on this one. I just don’t know what to feel. @NBCOlympics @Olympics pic.twitter.com/OHRxGo6LkV

… and many people on Twitter.
Half of the women ice dancing tonight have fringe on their costume and I’m just wondering when that revolution began and when it’ll go away

That is a lethal drinking game rule! Fringe doesn't pull any punches in ice dancing, friend! https://t.co/9CxpAsRGIy
