Swedish cross-country skier reveals his genitals FROZE during World Cup event in Finland… and insists that the injury was ‘the worst thing you can experience
- A Swedish cross-country skier was left fearing for his manhood on Sunday
- Calle Halfvarsson suffered frozen genitals during a World Cup event in Finland
A Swedish cross-country skier has revealed that his genitals froze during a recent World Cup event in Finland.
Calle Halfvarsson had been partaking in a 20 km mass start event on Sunday afternoon when he lost all feeling in his private parts.
The 34-year-old eventually crossed the line in 18th place, after temperatures had dropped to minus 15 Celsius (5 Fahrenheit).
The temperatures in Ruka have proven hazardous for male athletes before, with their thin suits and under-layers providing minimal protection against the cold.
And that was no different for Halfvarsson, who later revealed he suffered the freak injury during the event and described it as ‘the worst thing you can experience’.

The Swedish cross-country skier detailed how he recovered from frozen genitals
Speaking to Swedish outlet Expressen, the 34-year-old said: ‘I have frozen my penis. For real. Damn, I had to lie in there [warm-up tent] for ten minutes to warm it up.
‘It hurts so damn much. It’s terrible. It’s lucky that I’m going to have my second child, because this is going to be difficult in the future if I’m going to continue like this.’
When he was asked to could describe the pain, Halfvarsson replied: ‘No. Those who know, they know.
‘But you should get a tip from me. Stay away from it, because it is the worst thing you can experience.’
After crossing the line in 18th place, Halfvarsson was seen rushing to the tents where the athletes were warming themselves back up.
According to talkSPORT, Finland’s Finn Remi Lindholm also suffered the painful injury on the day. When talking to reporters after, he said: ‘It’s bad’.
Finn Remi also suffered the same freak injury during an event in February 2022, where he needed a heat pack at the end of the race to thaw out his appendage.
‘You can guess which body part was a little bit frozen when I finished (the men’s Olympic 50km race) … it was one of the worst competitions I’ve been in. It was just about battling through,’ he told Finnish media.
‘When the body parts started to warm up after the finish, the pain was unbearable,’ he added.
