Every now and then on TV or on the Internet we see reports of strange people lying in the mud, dragging strange objects or playing with unknown rules. These people are enthusiastic athletes trying to break stereotypes and bring something new to the gray everyday life. Let's treat them with respect, because once cycling was considered indecent, and people throwing a ball into the basket were almost insane.
What unusual sports exist today? This review will not cover wives on the shoulders or camel rides. These are local or national games from the category of folk entertainment. Let's dwell on those sports games that may soon become sports for us and get to the Olympics.
Jibbing
This is sliding along the railing, but not on rollers or a board, but in special shoes with grooves. This sport looks very spectacular, does not require special grounds, and therefore is popular among young people.
Bossball
This is an explosive mixture. The playground is volleyball, the rules are the same, but on each side of the net there is an inflatable trampoline. The surface of the rest of the site is also inflatable and quite elastic. In teams of four athletes. One is on a trampoline all the time and demonstrates the most breathtaking jumps and pirouettes. The rest run and jump around. The task is to hit the ball from your own court to the opponent's side.
Skibob
This is an extreme sport. It is a descent from a mountain on a kind of bicycle, only instead of wheels, short skis are rigidly fixed on it.
Checkbox
This is truly an impossible combination! Two players compete for 11 rounds. The match begins with a chess round that lasts 4 minutes, followed by a three-minute boxing round, and so on. Athletes are given a 1 minute technical break between rounds. Chess is played without taking off your boxing gloves. Victory is awarded to the one who knocked out the opponent or won the chess game.
Football
The field, the gate and 11 players - everything is like in football, but there are two balls. One ball is blue, the other is pink. The game is watched by four referees with flags of the same color as the balls.
Underwater hockey
The mask and fins are the basic equipment of athletes. A small - about 30 cm stick and almost one and a half kilogram washer. Each team has 6 players. The match lasts 30 minutes with one break.
