Ivo breaks a barge

Here's a description of the contestant's attempt. Someone's probably working on collecting some images to illustrate it.

Ivo fairly quickly captures the first ring. He is very excited about the whole experience and, on his way towards the second ring, gleefully exclaims "I'm on a boat!". He captures the second ring, and reverses a little before successfully capturing the third. With each successful capture, he seems to get more and more excited. He easily collects the fourth, and is closing in on the fifth at around the five minute mark, but misses it on his first attempt. Disaster then strikes, when his tiller breaks off, leaving him unable to steer. After emergency repairs are completed, he successfully captures the final ring, before losing his hat, and then managing to lodge the barge sideways between one bank of the canal and the other. In the studio, it is decided that the time during which the repairs were happening should not be counted in Ivo's total time, so he ends up with a final time of 7 minutes and 41 seconds, and earns second place.
