Nawis of the Netherlands is the world's strongest middle-distance champion, winning the men's 1,000 and 1,500 meters at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics and 1,500 meters at the Beijing Olympics last month.
He embarked on a challenge that transcends human limits on a special track installed over a lake in Norway.
On a 3km long and 10m wide straight track created by ice experts over 3 months, a vehicle with a special glass film ran in front to block wind and air resistance.
The top speed recorded by the athletes in official competitions is known to be around 60 km/h, and much faster speeds have been achieved on straight tracks and in optimized conditions.
Nawis, who set the world record of 93 km/h in the same challenge four years ago, did his best to cross the 100 km/h barrier,
[95, 96, 99, done!
He's 100km!]
He finally crossed 100km and hit 103km.
Nawis, who broke his own record by 10km and broke the 100km/h wall, said, "It felt like I was flying on ice."
