BEIJING — The rules have been made clear. Anyone fortunate enough to sit in the stands at the Beijing Olympics will not be allowed to yell, or sing, or chant, or make any kind of noise that might spew coronavirus into the air.
But no one said anything about bagpipes.
"It's been a long time since I heard 'Scotland the Brave' come out," said curler Chris Plys, after a kilt-clad regiment of Chinese pipers kicked off the first night of curling Wednesday at the Olympic Games. "I was not expecting that at all."
