A Finnish skier suffered a painful injury during the brutal Men's 50km Cross-Country Skiing event on Saturday at the Winter Olympics. Due to strong winds the race was shortened, but that did not stop the elements from getting to Remi Lindholm, who reportedly suffered a 'frozen penis' as a result of the conditions.
It is well known that cross-country skiing is one of the most challenging on the roster of the Winter Olympics. Research has shown that top cross-country skiers burn more than 1,000 calories in an hour, and it is perfectly normal to collapse at the finish line.
The 50km event is the toughest round of cross-country skiing at the Beijing games, and it was made even tougher for Lindholm in freezing cold winds, The Express reports.
