Les Jeux Olympique 12/4/09 2:16 PM

Here are some of the lesser known sports that don't quite make it to the medals board in the aforementioned games. Some you should never try at home....others you should never try anywhere.
Sport #1. Man v.s. Horse
If you thought the sport had anything to do with strength, then you’re wrong. The annual Man Versus Horse Marathon requires stamina and agility. Taking place in the Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells, the marathon puts human contestants up against mounted horse contestants.For a less strenuous version Welsh men prefer chasing sheep.
The event started in 1980, when a landlord decided to hold the event after hearing two men arguing about whether or not an individual could beat a horse in a cross country race. Or catch a sheep in the dark. Where no one can see.

Sport #2. Desperados
First introduced in Finland, wife carrying is an actual sport where male competitors race while carrying a female teammate. The objective is for the male to carry the female through a special obstacle course in the fastest time.The wife's hair should not be displaced by the barbed wire obstacle. Major competitions are held in Sonkajarvi, Finland, Monona, Wisconsin and in Marquette, Michigan. I'll pass on this one.Most wives are fat.

Sport #3. Deleted - too gross.

Sport #4. Bunion Swapping
A popular activity for children, toe wrestling is now a competitive sport. World Toe Wrestling first started in Derbyshire, UK in 1976. Locals thought it would be a great idea to hold a competition where individuals lock toes together and force their opponent’s foot to the ground. The organizers applied in 1997 to get the sport included in the Olympics, but unfortunately, it was not accepted.The Health and Safety Executive banned this one as a large number of children subsequently contracted Foot and Mouth Disease after biting their toenails.

Sport #5. Elbow Licking.
Previously featured in a recent Fool's blog, there has never been a world champion in this sport as no-one as yet has achieved this particular goal.So, my advice would be this.....unless you have a tongue as long as John Holmes' penis, don't even try it.

Sport #6. Extreme Bungee Jumping. This is for the daredevils amongst you. It's similar to ordinary Bungee Jumping but with this exciting twist - the rope has to be one foot longer than the distance to the ground. Helmets and heavy duty pain killers are recommended (as is making out a last will and testament before partaking).

Sport #7. Blindfold Darts. The risks here should be obvious. This is a non-spectator sport unless there are screens between the throwers and the audience. The dartboard should be at least the size of the clockface on Big Ben.For added excitement try this one while wearing mittens.

Sport #8. Shin Kicking. Shin Kicking is part of the Cotswold Games, a four hundred year-old tournament that claims to be the oldest Olympiad in the world, and, because of the absence of synchronised swimming, it may also have a valid claim to be the best.There's rarely a sport more perfectly summed up by its name. Shin Kicking is a contest between two fighters as to who can knock the other down by the simple, honest method of kicking the shit out of one another's shins. Just don't pick your Granny as an opponent - Grannies have thick calves

Sport #9. Ferret Legging. Now who of right mind would try this? Would you as a red blooded male stuff a rabid sabre toothed rodent down the front of your trollies to see how long you could last before "discomfort" sets in? Apparently Yorkshire people regard this as a national pastime. Personally the thought makes my eyes water.
" Imagine, if you can, standing in a barn in a small village on the moors of North Yorkshire, in England. In the barn, there are a lot of dour looking Gentlemen standing around you, glowering, drinking ale and smoking pipes. Oh yeah, you're shirtless, and your trousers are securely tied around your ankles. There's a fellow in front of you holding two ferrets. These two small, carnivorous, weasel-like beasts with sharp claws and teeth are squirming, and they look both pissed off and really, really hungry.
Then, the fellow with the ferrets gives you the nod. You pull your trousers out, and he throws the ferrets in, pulling your belt tight afterwards" Ouch.

Sport #10. This one is down to you lot - add your suggestions.

    Was goin' to write Midget Throw, but that was allready taken - How about a yearly ice floe-jumping contest which any kid in my hometown tries out when parents are not looking - skip from one side to the other of the harbour; need I say that we lack a couple of kids every winter! (joking)

    # 10: Midget Throw. It was a popular pub- & barsport in the 1980s, where ppl threw real dwarfs. But the 'sport' was banned in 1989. Today it's back, except now ppl throw midget-sized dolls


    No coconut ke-k....already had that one !

    cup stacking, needs no specialist training centers or equipment and can be practised in any weather conditions by anyone. though not a good idea to use your mum's best china.


    from what I have seen of cup stacking one has to have the physique of a 10 year old and the same mental age.

    The Mud Pit Belly Flop: This game is where even the spectators get splashed in mud as each entrant flops belly first into a big mud hole. The annual Summer Redneck Games in East Dublin host these games. This is also a great sport to show the strength and dexterity of your belly, feet, and tongue.


    Does that beat Custard Belly Flopping?

    There are different sections to this competition which even includes a category called the Dali moustache. There have been women who have won over the years. Contrary to what anyone may say, I have not entered, nor won.


    You aren't allowed to compete if you are TOO hairy !

    Facial Hair Growing Competition: The world facial competition is a competition that challenges males and females with high testosterone levels to have a go at their beard and moustache growing capabilities. This is includes large moustaches, goatees and full beard styles. -->>>>
