CNN —Swedish cross-country skier Calle Halfvarsson experienced an unusual but not unheard-of consequence of competing in icy temperatures in Finland at the weekend.
After taking part in the 20-kilometer World Cup event in Ruka, Halfvarsson said that he had to take shelter in the warmth after sustaining a frozen penis.
According to Reuters, temperatures dropped to a chilly five degrees Farenheit (-15 degrees Celsius) at the start of the race.
For real,” Halfvarsson told Swedish outlet Expressen.
Leindholm, like Halfvarsson, had also previously experienced a frozen penis while competing in Ruka.
