It's safe to say that Maurice Meyer would do just about anything to get a ticket to the World Cup final, and it's also safe to say that what he did isn't at all safe.

Meyer, a 32-year-old South African businessman from Nelspruit, swam 60 metres across the Crocodile River as part of contest to win a ticket to Sunday's World Cup final at Soccer City.

The contest, conducted by a radio station in Pretoria, asks people to do something that will impress the judges enough to win one ticket to the match. The winner is expected to be announced Thursday.
