For a good cause
Icy record attempt in the Museumsquartier
How long can you stay in an ice bath? A group of brave people want to find out exactly that on Thursday by plunging into freezing temperatures in the middle of the MuseumsQuartier.
The reason behind the creative and challenging Ultra Ice Challenge is to support young people with physical and visual disabilities and to introduce them to the fascination of sport. To this end, the Austrian Paralympic Committee has launched the Talent Day.
Together with SAMSUNG, which is donating 100 euros to the project for each participant, the aim is to raise 25,000 euros.
Challenge for body & mind
Under the guidance of extreme sportsman and experienced ice swimmer Daniel Fetz, four pools will be set up in the middle of the impressive Museum Quarter as part of the Ultra Ice Challenge, where more than 250 daredevils can come together to take an icy dip for this good cause. The well-known Austrian content creator and designer Max Weissenböck will also be taking part and wants to bring at least 50 participants to the start with his direct community alone.
Samsung will also be there to present its new Galaxy Watch Ultra, which is suitable for all extreme sports enthusiasts. To demonstrate the robustness and resilience of the new smartwatch, the new Galaxy product will be frozen in blocks of ice on site. Visitors will then have the chance to free them with physical effort.
The Ultra Ice Challenge
The record attempt at ice swimming will take place on July 18 from 16:00 in the MuseumsQuartier, Hof 8. 250 participants have the chance to take part in this record attempt and support the youth sports program of the Paralympic Committee in Austria with 100 euros each.
