    Jade Neilsen’s roommate in Manchester is opting not to publicly comment about the incidents but has promised swimming officials she will give her full co-operation to any formal investigations.

    It’s supposed to increase vigor, strengthen the immune system and improve your mood. At least, that’s what fans of the sport say. Taking a dip in temperatures as low as -30°C may not be everyone’s cup of tea. But for a group of pensioners in northern China’s Heihe city, it’s a way of life.
