The Siberian marathon shocked Bulgarians

Reports of sports events rarely appear in Bulgaria's weather reports. However, the marathon "The Pole of cold Oymyakon" so impressed the Balkan weather forecasters that the news got into the top ten most popular on the site sinoptik.bg .

However, Bulgarian meteorologists increased the temperature in Yakutia by 3 points, indicating in a message that the competition was held at -52 degrees, although the real frost on the day of the race was fixed at -55 degrees Celsius. They probably thought that it was impossible to live at such a low temperature, let alone run. And they can be understood – after all, life freezes in the Balkans at -20 degrees: schools are closed, construction work is stopped, the highest level of weather danger is declared.

And in Yakutia, there were almost forty people who decided to overcome 42 km at the Cold Pole at -55! However, extreme athletes had to use thermal masks and heated insoles. Perhaps these accessories will become fashionable in the Balkans, where fur headphones are very popular in "terrible" frosts below 10 degrees.
