The Ice Dream with Roy and HG

Overview

The Ice Dream with Roy and HG was a sports/comedy talk show, broadcast every night during the Salt Lake 2002, presented by Australian comedy duo Roy and HG. Targets of humour during the coverage of the 2002 Winter Olympics included figure skating, curling, Monaco's bobsleigh team. They promoted the Smiggin Holes 2010 Winter Olympic bid, even presenting it to IOC president Jacques Rogge, who described it as "very impressive". According to The Ice Dream, during the 1952 Olympics, Cedric Sloane skewered a seagull during a cross-country skiing event, putting a curse on the Australian team that could only be lifted when Australia won a gold medal.
