For some of us, Shanghai’s barely freezing temperatures are challenge enough. For Chen Kecai and Jin Songhao, Shanghai’s trials would seem like child’s play. Both men recently competed in a "frozen alive" competition at Tianmenshan in Zhangjiajie city, Hunan Province.The ice endurance test is exactly what it sounds like: Jin and Chen were put in booths packed with ice wearing nothing but swim suits in the hope of breaking the world record.Jin lasted for 120 minutes while Chen stayed in for 118 minutes, both beating the previous Guinness World Record of standing in ice set at 115 minutes by the Dutch "Iceman," Win Hof.Doctors were on hand during the competition in case things began to go the way of the 2010 World Sauna Championship in Finland where a man died.What does one do while standing in a booth full of ice for two hours? Among other things, Jin whipped up some nice calligraphy for the crowd.
