The Daily Mail has a pattern of fixating on certain people and writing articles about them over and over and over and over and over ... you get the idea ... and over again, especially if these people are a) really good-looking, which covers a lot of celebrities, particularly female celebrities; b) really strange; or c) royalty. There are other categories, but for this short posting I'm interested in one from column (a).
In this particular case, the subject of the article is a remarkably fit ... make that extremely fit ... and quite lovely 50-year old woman from China, named Liu Yelin. Because of this combination, to whit, very good-looking at an age when it's common for women to have lost the beauteous bloom of youth, Liu Yelin has been the subject of a few Daily Mail articles. It certainly helps that she likes to pose in bikinis, which is something the Daily Mail editorial staff appears to delight in.
In this case, Liu Yelin is posing in a bikini ----- on the shores of Siberia's famous and totally unique Lake Baikal, in March. It is not warm there. In fact, it is about -40 degrees C.
This is different from cryotherapy, because it's windy. I don't know how long she did this posing, but she's apparently still alive, so it couldn't have been too long.
The article also says that she went swimming in Lake Baikal, and includes a video of her doing just that. Well, if the water isn't frozen, that means its a bit above 0 degrees C. I don't imagine she stayed in the water long, either.
Here's a nice picture of Liu Yelin posing in a bikini, in environs which appear considerably warmer than Lake Baikal in late winter.
