Icemen challenge extreme cold in northeast China

‪#‎IceBucketChallenge‬. Ten winter swimming enthusiasts in Harbin, northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province, participated in the Ice King Challenge on Saturday. With the temperature hitting -11 degrees, the contestants took to the city center ready with buckets of ‪#‎snow‬.

For nine of them, the challenge was stay firm as volunteers poured 10 buckets of snow on them, while the really extreme challenge went to one particular contestant named ‪#‎JinSonghao‬. He had to manage 100 buckets of snow being dumped on him within 100 minutes.

Jin, 60, holds many world records, thanks to his ability to withstand extreme ‪#‎cold‬. In 2011, he immersed himself in an ice bath for 120 minutes, breaking the world record of 115 minutes set by Dutchman Wim Hof.
