This, but I want to discuss unusual sports in a world you may not have heard of! Even foreigners do when in our country. Let's see!
1.Oil wrestling
Oil wrestling is a national sport of Turkey. The sport is held in several countries in June of each year, although one of the oldest competitions is held in Kirkpinar, Edirne Turkey. Oil wrestling is part of a festival since 1357 to celebrate the Ottoman victory. The oil used in this wrestling is olive oil. In recent years, Oil wrestling has become popular in the Netherlands and Japan.
2.Stick poh
Stick poh is the first sport mentioned in The House at Pooh Corner cartoon, Winnie the Pooh book by A.A Milne. This sport is very simple, can be played on the bridge under which there is water flow. Each player throws a stick on the upstream side of the bridge and the wand that first appears downstream is the winner. The annual Poohsticks World Championships have been held at Day's Lock on the Thames River, England since 1984.
3.Racing bed
Racing bed is one of the most unusual sports. The bed racing has been embraced by the people of North Yorkshire, Knaresborough. The first race of the sport was held in 1965 which is only open to the Army, navy and American Marines. But now, the competition is open to everyone. Each team must provide their own bed decorated with a theme for each year. The beds must be four-wheeled and capable of floating in the water. The competition starts and ends at Conyngham Hall. Each team must pass the climb, down the hill to cross the river.
4.Zorbing
Zorbing is a recreation or sport rolling down a hill in a ball, generally the ball is made of transparent plastic. This sport can be done on sloping ground, but also on the ground, which allows more control of the rider. Despite much publicity about this activity, however Zorbing is regarded as an extreme sport.
5.Bossaball
Bossaball is an unusual spectacular sport invented in Spain by Filip Eyckmans and developed it in 2004. This sport is similar to volleyball, but also includes elements of football, gymnastics and capoeira. The game is played in a specially designed rubber field with a circular trampoline on each side. This ball game is played between two teams, each consisting of 3 to 5 players.
