Scot Braved Ice Tank, Sets British Record
7 Feb
Summary
- Scot Luca Graham spent nearly three hours in an ice tank.
- He set a new British record for ice endurance.
- Graham's blood sugar levels spiked, stopping his world record attempt.
In a remarkable display of endurance, Scot Luca Graham, also known as the Ice Viking, submerged himself neck-deep in a tank of ice for two hours and 40 minutes in Poland. This feat was part of an attempt to break the world record for full-body contact with ice.
Graham, a Type 1 diabetic, faced a critical challenge when his blood sugar levels began to spike rapidly, forcing him to stop. While he did not achieve the world record, he established a new British record, surpassing his personal best and the existing UK record.
He expressed bittersweet feelings about the outcome, acknowledging his success as a Type 1 diabetic but falling short of his ultimate goal. Graham highlighted that this achievement is uncharted territory for individuals with his condition. The current world record stands at five hours, one minute, and 33 seconds, set in June of the previous year.
