- Gather 'round, folks, for a tale of ironing like you've never seen before. Cast your mind back to the year 2002 when the world's press descended upon a small village just outside Munich, Germany for the inaugural Extreme Ironing World Championships. This was no ordinary gathering; it was a spectacle of friendly rivalry infused with the razzmatazz of a festival.
Over 80 competitors, hailing from 10 countries as far-flung as Chile, converged upon the picturesque village of Valley. They had come to test their mettle in the extraordinary realm of extreme ironing. Picture this: ironing tasks not confined to the cozy comfort of home but set against a backdrop of diverse environments. Rocky terrain, verdant forests, bustling urban landscapes, tranquil waters, and, for the grand finale, the freedom of freestyle. Each area presented a new garment to be skillfully pressed, adding an element of challenge to the already audacious undertaking.
Among the contenders, the British team proved their dominance in the freestyle section, unleashing a wave of innovation that left spectators in awe. But make no mistake, my friends, there were plenty of intrepid challengers from around the world, eager to push the boundaries of this eccentric "sport."
Now, you may be wondering, what exactly is extreme ironing? Prepare yourselves, for it is as bizarre as it sounds. Imagine people lugging ironing boards to the most remote and unexpected locations. Picture them carefully pressing items of clothing amidst breathtaking backdrops that would leave even the most seasoned adventurer in awe. According to the Extreme Ironing Bureau (yes, that's a thing), extreme ironing combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the undeniable satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt. It is the epitome of taking ordinary tasks and injecting them with a hefty dose of adrenaline.
Now, let's delve into the allure of extreme ironing that has captured the attention of the media. The burning question, of course, revolves around whether this is truly a sport or simply a tongue-in-cheek affair. It's safe to say that the general consensus leans toward the latter, with extreme ironing being embraced as a whimsical and light-hearted pursuit.
The locations where these daring performances have taken place are as diverse as the competitors themselves. From mountainsides that require a Herculean effort to reach, to tranquil forests that whisper with mystery, from canoes gliding on shimmering waters to the snowy slopes where skiers and snowboarders dare to tread. Ironing has graced the summits of colossal bronze statues, claimed its place in the heart of bustling streets, and even ventured underwater or on the treacherous lanes of the M1 motorway. Some have pressed with the wind rushing through their hair while parachuting, and a few have even ventured beneath the icy sheets of frozen lakes, in a realm few dare to explore.
These performances have been executed by both solo adventurers and spirited groups, each seeking to leave their indelible mark on the world of extreme ironing.
So there you have it, the peculiar and delightful world of extreme ironing. A gathering of iron-wielding daredevils, pressing their way to glory in locations that defy convention. It may not be your typical sport, but it's an endeavor that combines audacity, craftsmanship, and a touch of whimsy. So let us raise our well-pressed shirts in salute to the champions of extreme ironing, for they have woven a tale of adventure and pressed it into the fabric of our collective imagination.
"Can we watch Iron man?"
Mom: We have Iron man at home.
Iron man at home:
XD
Fucking perfect.😂
Look at these majestic creatures in their natural habitat
I think the correct word would have been bizarre creatures not majestic
Ur mouth nor good 😭
I just found out about this and I wish to live more of life than before.
Apparently all it takes is a video on ironing, folks!
I guess this is not what he had in mind when he said he wanted to be IRON MAN!
Wym? Look at this man go 0:48
Man only the Brits could have come up with this
Why thank you...
Or Russians
@@nathan5504 нет
Only the Americans can come up with the 72 gender nonsense. Only Americans that came up with school sh@@tings.
Truly a work of art
I agree
Boris Johnson: "Brits demand a good Brexit deal"
Brits:
Exactly what I needed today
Should be in the summer and winter olympics
I love the dude who randomly appears and starts singing god save the queen (he feels like such a derp oml)
He is the guy who invented the sport. He is called "Steam."
Honestly I clicked because of the thumbnail, not disappointed and fully satisfied really 🗿🍷
This is the nation that used to rule half the globe everyone.
Dear future grandkids.....It won't make sense, you had to have been there 😅
LMAO 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I cry because I laugh so hard 🤣🤣🤣 that's the wierdest thing I've ever seen 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wonder what the animals are thinking when they saw these humans acting like this.
Same energy as New Yorkers trying to get to work in the middle of a flood
Thank you for the video! XD And thank you for such a great description as well! Really appreciate it!

This is potent omg
Is this "irony"?
This is what happens to a country's sports when you take away either their guns or their swords and armor
No
This is hard work.
The dude in the latest Orange Peanut poll about sports wasn't joking
Hahaha ello mate
Came from there too
I am so happy
Yes
Pure talent here!!
Came from tiktok
Oh god it IS REAL
Yep - even toured America with it - ua-cam.com/video/BFMWgF2iHtM/v-deo.html
I'm so happy
Came from that tiktok
astounded
Here from Hey Babe!🎊🎉🖤💛
I could be learning like web development or something right now. Instead, I'm ironing a polo on an inner tube.
You know you want to, Tim.
Well that's extremely ironic
This is why we need national healthcare like the brits. They can afford injuries from dangerous, stupid festivals and sports. America has no culture because if you eat something bad or get hurt doing a silly sport or weird challenge, you either staple your own wound closed and go back to work like it's nothing, or you owe $100,000 for twelve stitches.
$100,000 for 12 stitches? That's a bargain!
This was an impulse search lol but, I'm glad that I searched for it.
Fun Fact: Extreme Ironing is one of Inspector Araya Kagami's Hobbies, and his skills include pretending to be dead..
How long has this been a thing?
Started in 1998 and finished around 2004. It never made the Olympics, sadly.
@@Britclip They should have combined it with gurning and ironed the gurner's faces.
Too long.
It never stopped, it is just for the elite now. Check for 3:17 in the video to see where their new location is.
Extreme irony championship finals: ironing dirty toilet paper
Skeletor brought me here
Since the venue is Germany, anyone who gets a merit in extreme ironing should win an "Iron Cross" ➕️ 1st or 2nd class
(respektvoll)

Hi there, could I have permission to use this for a feature on ITV Calendar News, with your credit? Thanks!

This seems like something out of a Monty Python skit not something that should be real
It's real Tom.
@@Britclip oh I know it's real it's just stupid the only thing they didn't show is the guy trying to iron a shirt while skydiving out of an airplane

No way they have electric irons in the water.
They did - they were heated up via a generator and then unplugged - ready for action.
But... why?

Are they even really ironing? Is it turned on? One dude had it in the water...if there's no heat coming from it, then what are they competing for?
