What happens when you put two amazing athletes together with some great tasting chocolate? You get "The Challenge" where tennis great Roger Federer and Ski champ Lindsey Vonn go head to head to celebrate highest chocolate shop in the world. The Jungfraujoch is called 'The Top of Europe' and at 3,454 meters it really seems to be at the top of Europe. That would be the most amazing vacation. Go skiing and then take a trip to the highest chocolate shop in the world. Not sure if this was totally fair but Lindsey was up to the challenge. This event was almost a year in the making. The invitation for the actual challenge started on twitter in 2013. Federer asked "If you could watch me play any other athlete in any other sport (other than our own sport), what sport and what athlete? #AskedRF" and then Lindsey replied "@rogerfederer I'll ski with u if u play tennis with me :)"
. So this challenge has been a long time coming. It finally happened and you have to watch the video in order to see what the winner gets. Roger Federer is really active on twitter talking daily with his almost 2 million fans. He posted pictures of his adventure in the Swiss alps with Vonn.
He retweeted the words of Vonn here:
Had so much fun today in #chocolateheaven with Roger! Playing tennis on top of a glacier was amazing… http://t.co/zdhEtvEKXt
