EXTREME IRONING

Can an ordinary activity like ironing be considered an extreme sport? It sounds unlikely but when an Englishman, Phil Shaw, created a new sport calle Extreme Ironing, the idea quickly caught on.

Ordinary ironing becomes an extrem sport when the places where people do it are dangerous. Devotees of Extreme Ironing are constantly searching for bizarre spots, such as mountain tops or in the middle of busy streets. Extreme ironers are sometimes too enthusiastic and some participants have been injured while they were ironing. One ironer had to have medical treatment after unsuccesfully trying to iron on a surfboard inside a car.

Interest in Extreme Ironing has spread far beyond Britain. In the first world championship, which took place in 2002, participants came from countries as far as Chile. In the same year, a Swiss man set a record by ironing 4,100 metres up in the Alps.

One of the most ambitious ironing attempts was made by two British men, John Roberts and Ben Gibbons, who set out to breat the Swiss man's record. They walked 300 kilometres in 17 days to the foot of Mount Everest, where they joined 35 groups of mountaineers waiting their turn to climb the treacherous mountain. Roberts and Gibbons ironed their national flag, the Union Jack, on a mountain slope 5,440 metres above sea level.

Who knows what other places devotees of Extreme Ironing will find to do their ironing? One thing is for certain; ironing will continue to be done in places most of us would never dream of. Whether we admire their daring feats or criticise their foolishness is a matter of opinion.
