Shirtless Winter Race – level 3
28-02-2018 15:00
More than 1,300 men took part in the annual Real Man Race in Minsk, Belarus. The relatively short 1-kilometre or 3-kilometre race was compensation for the fact that the runners had to be shirtless.
The competitors braved temperatures of -10 degrees Celsius, but one man said that he was not cold, felt wonderful and energised and he would do it again.
The event marked the Defender of the Fatherland Day, and it marked one century of the country’s armed forces.
Difficult words: annual (happening every year), compensation for (make up, balance), brave (put up with, suffer through).
