(N) News of the Weird reported in December that Inga Kosak had
won the first World Extreme Ironing Championship in Munich in
September, based on running a course through several stations
(e.g., up in trees, in the middle of streams) and ironing a designated
garment. An October Wall Street Journal story shows the "sport"
as growing in prominence. South African Anton Van De Venter,
27, broke the high-altitude record in August by ironing his national
flag at the 20,000-foot summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, while nude,
in freezing temperatures (quote: "I came, I saw, I pressed a
crease"), and British diver Ian Mitchell sawed through ice in
Wisconsin in March and submitted photos of himself in a wet suit
"ironing" (with a Black & Decker Quick 'n' Easy) a shirt that was
braced against the underside of the ice. [Wall Street Journal, 10-1-

Why do you say "she"? The article mentions the names of two guys... Women don't always have to do the ironing, you know. :P
