‘Unbearable pain’ – Olympic skier’s PENIS freezes during horror cross country event sparking fears he’ll never have kids
AN Olympic skier was left in 'unbearable pain' after his PENIS froze during the Men's 50km Cross-Country Skiing event.
Saturday's competition was shortened to 30km due to strong winds and tough conditions.
Athletes battled to see the finish line at the Zhangjiakou Olympic Ski Stadium, but one competitor left the event with an unusual injury.
Finnish skiier Remi Lindholm suffered a frozen penis in the race, according to outlet .
The 28th-placed Finn said: "You can probably guess what was on the ice when I got to the finish line."
It's not the first time Lindholm has suffered such an injury, he also left November's Ruka World Cup with a frozen 'saint.'
However, the 24-year-old admitted: "It was [worse this time]. Pretty unbearable pain."
A heated bag supposedly came to the rescue, but the injury has left the skier concerned about his reproductive organs.

The conditions and shortened race left Scot Andrew Musgrave angry.
Before the race started, unhappy Musgrave, 31, tweeted: “They have just shortened the Olympic 50km because it’s a bit cold and windy.
“I don’t see that that will make it any warmer or less windy. What a f**king joke!”
When he had completed the Zhangjiakou course, he said: “I thought it was a ridiculous decision.
“If it’s warm enough to race then I don’t see why doing an hour and a quarter or 30km, compared to two hours in the 50km, makes it any better.
“It’s still the same temperature, it’s still the same wind.
“I couldn’t really do anything about that and just had to go out and make the best of it.
“I’m a little bit annoyed. 50km is meant to be the ultimate endurance race and I felt like it wasn’t quite the same.”
