Ooops, we've been a bit slow on this one, but fantastic news by
pigeon from Germany where the British team triumphed in the first
Extreme Ironing World Championships.
Team GB1 and GB3 did fantastically well to clinch first and third
places in the team event despite fierce competition. The individual
event was won by German specialist 'Hot Pants' who triumphed over an
80-strong field to take the honours.
The whole thing is a massive vindication of iron specialist
Rowenta's decision to sponsor the British team and a ringing
endorsement of the effectiveness of their irons in extreme
conditions.
Touchingly we also received an e-mail from the sport's founder,
the legendary 'Steam' thanking us for our advance coverage of the
event. Unfortunately our reply bounced, but if you're reading this
mate, keep keeping the creases at bay and congratulations.
You can read more about this fantastic British triumph on the
BBC
News site, well worth a visit and check out the picture

Ironing web site.
