789人蔘加裸泳 芬蘭3度挑戰世界紀錄

Hundreds of naked swimmers have taken to the water in Finland in a bid to break the world record for the biggest naked swim.

爲了打破裸泳的世界紀錄，數百名裸遊選手於日前齊聚芬蘭。

Some 789 people at a music festival in eastern Finland went skinny dipping, organisers said, beating the previous record set in Australia by just three, reports said.

據報道，在芬蘭東部的一個音樂節上，大約有789人蔘加了裸泳活動。主辦方稱，最終他們以三人的微弱優勢打破了此前在澳大利亞創下的紀錄。

Organisers were waiting for Guinness World Records to confirm the record.

目前，主辦方正在等待吉尼斯世界紀錄的確認。

It is the third Finnish attempt at the record, Yle news website said. Previous attempts in Helsinki in 2015 and 2016 each attracted about 300 participants.

據芬蘭廣播電視網報道，這是芬蘭第三次衝擊該世界記錄了。之前兩次嘗試分別發生在2015年和2016年的赫爾辛基，但兩次均只吸引到約300名參與者。

Organisers at the Ilosaari Rock music festival in Joensuu had hoped to entice 1,000 people into the chilly water.

這次活動在芬蘭著名的樂島搖滾音樂節上舉辦，主辦方原本希望吸引1000人跳進冰冷的水中。

As in previous attempts, only a few hundred volunteers appeared to be willing to participate, but shortly before the event was due to begin the sun came out and this boosted the numbers, Yle reported.

據芬蘭廣播電視網報道，像之前的兩次嘗試一樣，一開始也只有幾百名願意參加，但就在本次活動開始之前不久，太陽出來了，這讓參加人數立馬大增。

Outdoor swimming is a tradition in Finland, where "avantouinti" - ice-hole swimming - is promoted by the country's tourist board as an energy-boosting experience.

戶外游泳是芬蘭人的一項傳統，芬蘭旅遊協會還特別推廣“冰窟窿游泳”，作爲一種增強體能的體驗活動。
