The Winter Olympic Games 2018 are ongoing in PyeongChang and it is natural for the athletes to be under a constant stress of giving their best. All of them have been training for long enough to train in these sports. But it looks like the skiing team from Switzerland has found a way to beat this stress. The Swiss Freestyle Ski Team are currently having fun at the venue and their antic tricks are catching everyone’s attention on the internet.
The Swiss freestyling ski team is having a good ride, be it under a parking lot of just along the escalators. We are not kidding. A video clip has been going viral which sees a Fabian Bösch, the freestyler climbing up an escalator without using the steps at all. He holds on to the moving railing of the escalator and literally just holds on to it as it slides up! The 20-year is actually hanging alongside the steps and it quite a bewildering sight. He posted a video on Instagram and in the caption he asks ‘Am I doing it right?’ We don’t know, how you even do it champ! He is sure having fun at the games. Bosch posted the video clip on Monday and has crossed more than 7 lakh views.
Who uses stairs to get up an escalator? Not me!
That’s not all, Bösch posted another video, this time with another ice-hockey mate Philippe Furrer sledding down what appears to be a parking lot. They swiftly get on a manual forklift and slide down the slope.
Slide down, smooth!
Both these videos are clearly not actions anyone should even try for imitation. But these athletes are proving what they got and having the most fun at the event. Contrary to some assumptions of the Swiss being all strict and serious, these videos are a proof that they clearly aren’t.
