Shirtless Winter Race – level 1

28-02-2018 15:00

People organise the Real Man Race every year. It takes place in Minsk, Belarus. This year, more than 1,300 men run the race.

The race is quite short. It is either 1 or 3 kilometres long. However, the weather is -10 degrees Celsius. The men must be shirtless!

One man talks about the race. He says that he is not cold. He feels great and full of energy. He would do it again!

Difficult words: race (a sports event where you try to be the fastest), shirtless (without a T-shirt).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
