It may not be the kind of miracle found in the Bible, but three athletic young adventurers have sparked an internet furore by claiming to have walked on water.
They call it “liquid mountaineering”, a new sport that is not only challenging the laws of gravity but is also encouraging thousands of fans to slip on watertight shoes and run as fast as possible into the nearest lake.
Most get two or three steps in before collapsing in a cloud of spray. Yet Ulf Gartner and his friends Sebastian Vanderwerf and Miguel Delfortrie have produced a video claiming to show “one of the most impossible-looking activities that anyone has ever seen”.
More than 2m people have viewed the YouTube video in the past fortnight. Even those who believe it is a hoax agree it would be one of the cleverest hoaxes on the internet.
