What seemed like another extreme challenge in his career became complicated in seconds: the ice closed over him and he was trapped beneath the surface for several minutes, unable to get out on his own.

The moment was recorded and shows the tension of those waiting outside, while Oravec fought against the cold and lack of air. In the end, he managed to get out alive, but the scare served as a reminder of how dangerous it can be to challenge the ice. ❄️
