WInter Olympics in Beijing.The event was shortened to 30km due to adverse weather, and freezing conditions, but the shortened distance couldn't prevent Lindholm's penis from apparently freezing up.He finished 28th in a time of 1:15:55, more than four minutes behind gold medal winner Alexander Bolshunov of Russia, and it seems he could have done with being back in the warmth of the changing rooms a little quicker."You can guess which body part was a little bit frozen when I finished - it was one of the worst competitions I’ve been in. It was just about battling through,” he told Finnish outletIltalehti.Lindholm admitted he used a heat pack to try and thaw out his crown jewels once the race was over.“When the body parts started to warm up after the finish, the pain was unbearable,” he added.What was even more unusual about his bizarre problem though, is that it wasn't anything he hasn't endured before - having also encountered problems downstairs when racing in Ruka in 2021.So at least he knew how to remedy the problem as soon as he crossed the line, but admitted the pain was worse this time around.

Like most of us at around this time every four years, The Rock - real name Dwayne Johnson - has been gripped by the sport, which sees teams launch stones on a sheet of ice before chasing after them with brooms. Except they're not stones, they're rocks, something that The Rock only learned after American broadcaster NBC photoshopped his face onto one and tweeted it out on Wednesday afternoon.

Winter Olympics.But perhaps British sport should get its own house in order before people single out one person from Russia who has tested positive for the banned angina drug trimetazidine.I'm not condoning what Valieva has done, because she shouldn't be allowed on the ice in Beijing.But we have more pressing issues to deal with on our own doorstep, following the bombshell revelations from former Rugby League stars Ollie Wilkes and Jamie Acton that they were involved in widespread doping throughout their careers.Those who follow the sport have spent years marvelling at how these supreme athletes put their bodies on the line week in, week out to cope with the demands of what is a brutal business.But in one fell swoop, Wilkes and Acton have called into serious question the integrity of an entire sport, tarnished the good names of all those who remain clean and left the game's rulers facing more questions than answers.Wilkes, who captained Scotland, revealed he was taking illegal substances at the time he secured a 'dream' move to Wigan, claims coaches used to encourage stars to go missing when UCAD testers turned up at clubs, and said one team-mate even injected himself in his car en-route to a training session.Acton, meanwhile, took to social media to accuse Rugby League of going to great lengths to keep drug use a secret.The timing of these damaging admissions and allegations is horrendous.The new Super League season began last weekend with fireworks and fanfare, while a Rugby League World Cup will take place on these shores in the autumn.Wilkes is now being lauded in some quarters as some sort of brave whistleblower.

I hope the cameraman is all good because I landed directly on him," the Finn added.Explaining the incident, Eurosport commentator James Webb said: "He pushed so far off that first wall.
