Funny Winter Olympics Moment: Streaking On Ice Poses A Few Challenges [Video]

Mark Roberts loves taking his kit off, a hobby that was plain for all to see during the men’s 1 000 metre speedskating event in Pyeongchang. He's not getting a gold for execution.

If you thought shrinkage was your biggest worry when it comes to streaking on ice, you’d be wrong.

It seems odd to think that there is a man who has made a career out of streaking, but that’s basically Brit Mark Roberts’ calling card.

So much so, in fact, that he has his own Wikipedia page. He has streaked at more than 500 events, and now he can add the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics to his list.

Shortly after the men’s 1 000 metre speedskating event in Pyeongchang, Roberts took to the ice with a simple message.

“PEACE + LOVE”, man, with a pink tutu and a strategically placed monkey pouch to cover up the dangling bits.

Keep an eye on the background in this video below:

This was a far more modest display than some of his other efforts:

You might expect a little more grace on the ice, given that he also streaked at the Torino Winter Olympics back in 2006.

This is a damn fine effort:

My guess is that he won’t be nailing a ‘Triple Axel‘ any time soon.
