Ronaldo challenges son ‘Junior’ to plunge into freezing pool

Cristiano Ronaldo challenged his son Cristiano Ronaldo Junior to plunge himself into a cold pool with negative temperature surrounded by snow as the football star enjoys Christmas holidays with his family in Finland.

Ronaldo on Tuesday posted a video on his Instagram showing the footballer dipping himself into the water amid snow covered surroundings in -20 degrees Fahrenheit.

“Guys look at this experiment, freezing!” he said in the video as he entered the pond.

His 14-year-old son could be seen watching his father and smiling as Ronaldo challenged him to the same. The Portuguese star’s partner, Georgina Rodriguez, with whom he also shares two daughters, could also be heard in the video saying words of encouragement.

Ronaldo, who plays for the Saudi football club Al Nassr, is praised globally for his fitness at the age of 39 and is often seen taking on fitness challenges both on and off pitch.
