Eight athletes who have all conquered the peak of their respective sports gathered at the top of the Big Freeze slide. 

The icy water underneath them looked intimidating, but you couldn't wipe a smile off their faces.

One by one they all entered the frozen pool. And their reactions were priceless. 

View some of the best photos of the #BigFreeze3, taken by the AFL Photos team.

Just like aerial skiing, right?



The cold gets to Camplin.



Netballer Sharelle McMahon loves it!
