It takes a different roughly athlete to commit themselves to go nation snowboarding, particularly whilst you stay competing regardless of having a frozen penis. Finland’s Remi Lindholm suffered the unthinkable at the remaining day of the Iciness Olympics — and didn’t curl up within the fetal place crying, as I for sure would.
Freezing winds and biting temperatures involved officers. The beginning of the 50 km mass get started race used to be not on time through an hour on Sunday, then the route used to be lowered to 30 km out of worry for the security of the athletes. That ended up being the right kind resolution, however it nonetheless didn’t prevent Lindholm’s penis freezing.
Move nation skiers put on skinny below layers underneath their skin-tight ski fits as their handiest coverage from the chilly. It gives some heat, however no longer a lot — with athletes favourite being mild and aerodynamic, over heat. Typically this is sufficient to stay them uncomfortable, however no longer injured, however no longer on Sunday.
Lindholm, who completed twenty eighth within the race, used to be noticed yelling for his reinforce workforce in a while after completing the race, begging for a heat pack to place on his groin. The skier showed to Finnish media that his penis iced over, explaining that interestingly sufficient the actual ache comes when it starts to thaw out.
You’ll notice that I’m describing this like Lindholm has complicated revel in with a frozen penis, and it’s as a result of he does. That is the second one time within the final 3 months his pens has frozen all the way through a race. It additionally passed off on the 2021 International Cup in Ruka, Finland.
No longer {that a} frozen penis precisely qualifies as “humorous,” as it’s terrifying — however newshounds at the floor feeding his Finnish quotes via Google Translate did make issues hilarious.
Google Translate selections up the thread:
Q: How did the Finn maintain his saint within the locker room?
A: Warmth bag crowded eggs.
Q: Did it lend a hand?
A: Yeah. Possibly went 1 / 4.
Q: Do you’re feeling that you’re going to be capable to reproduce one day?

Warmth bag crowded eggs, certainly. I’m simply happy deficient Remi Lindholm wasn’t significantly injured, and that his penis is ok.
