Legend filed Fisi’s freezing point.
Penile freezes speak volumes in cross-country skiing.
Along with Remi Lindholm, Sweden experienced a painful struggle in the Ruka World Cup Calle Halfvarsson.
– Damn, I had to lie down for ten minutes to get it warm, Halfvarsson told his country’s media after the 20 km race.
– It hurts so bad. This is terrible.
It was cold in Kuusamo. However, the temperature was officially below 20 degrees, which is the international skiing federation FIS’s freezing limit for organizing the competition.
A proposal from Mogren
Swedish skiing legend, specialist in long distances Torgny Mogren suggested last week in Nettavisen’s story that Fis can change its rules in a more humane direction for skiers.
In Mogren’s opinion, -15 would be a good limit for whether to go to the track or not.
In an interview with the Norwegian broadcasting company NRK, Halfvarsson nods to the proposal and points out that competition organizers usually stretch the rules a bit in their favor. For example, the wind makes the weather feel significantly colder.
– If it (the limit) is set to 15, we will race with certainty regardless, if the temperature is 18, he refers to the changing conditions on the track and during the race.
Iltalehti’s expert Reijo Jylhä recommended For Remi Lindholm After the ruckus episode, better equipment to prevent penis freezing. The same proposal is given to Halfvarsson by Norway Harald Amundsen.
– Actually, I thought about it right after the race. Why wasn’t it done? Why didn’t he wear a sock or something else that would protect and warm him? Because if you only have windbreakers, they’ll get cold anyway.
Of course, in freezing conditions, places other than the penis are also at risk of frostbite.
Less asthma?
Halfvarsson also sees another positive aspect related to health in changing the freezing point.
The 34-year-old Konkari believes that the use of asthma medications would decrease because there would be fewer illnesses.
– There is no certainty that it was a solution, but I think it would be a small step in the right direction to solve a problem like that. It is precisely in such cold conditions that you can get asthma, says Halfvarsson.
– Maybe we could solve many problems if the frost line were lowered.
Calle Halfvarsson said that the freezing of the penis was painful. PASI LEISMA
