Maybe this wasn't the best idea Beijing2022
Photo: Wei Zheng/CHINASPORTS/VCG via Getty Images How much would you risk for a gold medal in cross country skiing? How much would you risk to place 26th in an Olympic race? Hours of sleep? Cake? A social life? What about your genitals? Olympic cross country skier almost faced this very dilemma on Saturday, February 19, the final day of the 2022 Winter Olympics.
Lindholm joked about his, uh, chilly appendage, reportedly telling Finnish media “You can guess which body part was a little bit frozen when I finished.” He also assured reporters that he was able to warm up with the help of a strategically placed heat pack, but he admitted that things felt a little worse before they got better. “When the body parts start to warm up after the finish, the pain was unbearable,” he said, per E! News.
Apparently, this is not the first time Lindholm has talked about the frozen penis side-effect of being a competitive cross-country skier. Meanwhile, other skiers have described the great lengths necessary to keep warm while competing in the sport.
No offense to Lindholm and other Olympic athletes who compete in these impossibly cold sports, but I have to state the obvious. If a sport is putting athletes in dangerous, potentially fatal situations just based on the environment alone , then maybe we should stop including it in the Olympics.
