"When the body parts started to warm up after the finish, the pain was unbearable," he added.

Cross country skiing sud be disallowed in Winter Olympics as evidently most dropped down half dead at finish line
Reason is because the knowledge of how to protect athletes against such rigorous activity against the backdrop of such harsh conditions at a prolonged duration is still sketchy
Just like Marathon, dude dropped dead after completing his run
