I had no idea that could happen to you guys. Geeez.

ZHANGJIAKOU, China – The men’s 50km mass start race at the Beijing Games was shortened to 30km but that did little to help Finland’s Remi Lindholm, who needed a heat pack at the end of the race to thaw out a particularly sensitive body part.
Lindholm spent just under an hour and 16 minutes traversing the course in howling, freezing winds, leading to his penis becoming frozen for the second time in a cross-country skiing race following a similar incident in Ruka, Finland last year.
“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.
With organizers worried about frostbite during Saturday’s race, it was delayed by an hour and shortened by 20km. The thin suits and under-layers worn by racers, as well as plasters to cover their faces and ears, offered little protection.
Lindholm explained that he used a heat pack to try to thaw out his appendage once the race was over.
“When the body parts started to warm up after the finish, the pain was unbearable,” he added.

That's, um, an unusual way to get hard.

The tough guy wanted to go commando. That's what he gets.
I wonder how little it got in that cold. I think there is a Seinfeld episode about that but I don't know how to find it.

Sorry, no race is worth literally freezing your dick off.

The following Letter To the Editor appeared in the January 1977 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
Penile Frostbite: An Unforeseen Hazard of Jogging
To the Editor: A 53-year-old, circumcised physician, nonsmoker, light drinker (one highball before dinner), 1.78 meters tall, weighing 70 kg, with no illnesses, performing strenuous physical exercise for many years began a customary 30 minute jog in a local park at 7 p.m. on December 3, 1976. He wore flare-bottom double-knit polyester trousers, Dacron-cotton boxer-style undershorts, a cotton T-shirt and cotton dress shirt, a light-wound sweater, an outer nylon shell jacket over the sweater, gloves, and low-cut Pro Ked sneakers. The nylon shell jacket extended slightly below the belt line.
Local radio weather reports gave the outside air temperature as -8 degrees C with a severe wind-chill factor.
From 7:00 to 7:25 p.m. the jog was routine. At 7:25 p.m. the jogger noted an unpleasant painful burning sensation at the penile tip. From 7:25 to 7:30 p.m. this discomfort became more intense, the pain increasing with each stride as the exercise neared its end. At 7:30 p.m. the jog ended, and the patient returned home.
Physical examination at 7:40 p.m. in his apartment at comfortable room temperature revealed early frostbite of the penis. The glans was rigid, red, tender upon manipulation and anesthetic to light touch. Immediate therapy was begun. The polyester double-knit trousers and the Dacron-cotton-undershorts were removed. In a straddled standing position, the patient created a cradle for rapid re-warming by covering the penile tip with one cupped palm. Response was rapid and complete. Symptoms subsided 15 minutes after onset of treatment and physical findings returned to normal.
Side effects: at 7:50 p.m. the patient’s wife returned from a local shopping trip and observed him during the treatment procedure. She saw him standing, legs apart, in the bedroom, nude below the waist, holding the tip of his penis in his right hand, turning the pages of the New England Journal of Medicine with his left. Spouse’s observations of therapy produced rapid onset of numerous, varied and severe side effects (personal communication).
Pathogenesis of the syndrome was assessed as tissue response to high air velocity at -8 degrees C, penetrating the interstices of polyester double-knit trouser fabric and continuing through anterior opening of Dacron-cotton undershorts, impacting upon receptor site of target organ to produce the changes described.
The patient continues to jog, wearing an athletic supporter and old tight cotton warm-up pants used in college cross-country races in 1939. No reoccurrences are expected.

Although I do not have personal experience in the Olympic Athlete Village, I had many friends who spoke of it.
The Athletic Village is a literal f*** fest. Think about it, athletes at their physical prime, single, and time.
I am guessing the skier's viagra may not have worn off from the night before.
