The Cooper's Hill Cheese Rolling and Wake

And finally the festival of rolling cheese

This sport is celebrated in Gloucester England where they throw a Double Gloucester from 7 to 9
pounds, wrapped in a wooden deck so that it does not transform into several sub-cheeses in the
fall, people falling and rolling down the hill Cooper trying to capture the cheese.

Normally it was played by people from the village of Brockworth, where this hill is located, but due
to its current fame it is filled with spectators and participants from all over the world.

The cheese rolls down the hill, first slow, but thanks to Newton the final speed reaches 112 km/h,
dangerous to cut the cheese in the end but more dangerous to try to capture it. In 1993, about 15
people were injured.

In 2005, for example, they had to wait for a second round, because all the ambulances had to go to
the hospital in the first one. In addition, people were shot.

4. Ferret-legging (Ferrets in pants) (England)

This strange sport comes from Yorkshire, England, where it seems to have originated among the
coal miners. Sport is more a test of endurance, as competitors place live ferrets in their pants and
try to catch them by closing the ankle part of the legs. Whoever can keep the ferret in his pants for
more time wins. The world record is 5 hours and a half!

The Buzkashi is an equestrian discipline considered as an Afghan national sport. It is considered one
of the most unusual and violent sports in the whole world.

In a field whose length is more or less two kilometers, two teams of riders or mostly known as
chapandoz are raised. The purpose of this game is to lead a goat lacking head and limbs (called
"boz"), from one end of the field to the other, depositing it within an area marked with a circle.

Apparently, the teams do not usually use garments to differentiate themselves from each other,
since the participants know each other.

their wife in tow. Win who completes the course in the shortest possible time. You can take the
