Strange Sports around the world Presentation

Tuk Tuk Polo

This sport is based on a popular game but has been adapted to make it, well, better. It's polo but played from tuk tuks and not horses or elephants.

Extreme Ironing

"the latest danger sport that combines the thrills of an extreme outdoor activity with the satisfaction of a well-pressed shirt."

Wife Carrying

Similar to what you have been doing for years with your marks to eventually end up in a draw and receive a consolation prize for your efforts. But in fact, it’s a huge sport in Finland with people travelling all over the world to tie for the first place.

Lion Dance

Almost dubious calling this a sport but it just makes the cut. Asian countries love it and it's easy to see why, but don't call them dragons...they are lions. Named as a martial art of sorts by some, the lights and jumping is hypnotic and quite like parkour for men having a midlife crisis.

Cheese Roll

Get yourself to Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire around spring and you can take part in this in-the-class-of-its-own sport. It's simple, run down a hill chasing a wheel of cheese that can hit speeds of 110kph.
