Forget blue balls, imagine frozen balls, this was the predicament of Finnish skier Remi Lindholm who froze his penis at the Winter Olympics.
Lindholm endured a shocking injury to his member during the brutal Men’s 50km Cross-Country Skiing event at the Beijing Winter Olympics on Saturday.
The race was shortened due to strong winds, but that did not prevent the elements from getting the better of Lindholm, who fell well short of a medal which may have offset the ‘unbearable’ aftermath of his ‘frozen penis’.
After coming in 28th, Finnish outlet IL claims that he had suffered a frozen penis during the race which needed immediate attention in the locker room.
Shockingly, it is the second time that the 24-year-old has suffered a frozen penis in the last four months, after enduring something similar in November’s Ruka World Cup.
However, the Finn admitted: “It was [worse this time]. Pretty unbearable pain.”
A heat bag supposedly came to his rescue once the race was over, although Lindholm still expressed concern about his prospects of having children in the future.

Cross-country skiing is well known as one of the most brutal sports on the Winter Olympic roster. Research shows that top athletes burn more than 1,000 calories in an hour and collapsing at the finish line is just another day at the office.
