Strange sport

This time I will enter the field of non-traditional sports. For reasons of space, I'll only go through a representative sample of them, trying to figure out what makes them so attractive to an audience. Considering that some of these sports seem like something out of a science fiction movie, thank you for accompanying me to explore this strange dimension.

Leg kicking is practiced in the United Kingdom, where two competitors grab each other's shoulders and attempt to drop the other by kicking their legs. The goal is to make the opponent fall to the ground or touch the ground with his hand. The sport originated in the 17th century as a means of resolving disputes between farmers and is now celebrated in an annual festival called the Cotswold Olympic Games.

Bossaball combines elements of volleyball, soccer and gymnastics. It is played on an inflatable court with a net in the middle and two trampolines on each side. Teams attempt to pass the volleyball over the net using any part of the body, including the feet and head. Points are scored when the ball hits the ground on the opponent's court. This sport originated in Spain in 2004 and is played today all over the world.

Quidditch was created by JK Rowling in the Harry Potter book series, but it has actually become a real sport played all over the world. Players run with a broom between their legs and attempt to throw a ball called a quaffle through a series of hoops, while avoiding opposing team players who try to snatch the ball away from them. There is also a player on each team who carries a golden ball called a snitch, which must be caught to end the game.

Kabaddi is a team game, originally from India, that consists of a player called a “raider” who attempts to touch as many players of the opposing team as possible before returning to his home court. Meanwhile, players on the opposing team try to stop the attacker by grabbing him and preventing him from returning to their side of the field. The match takes place on a rectangular court and is divided into two halves of 20 minutes each.

Lemming is a sport that originated in England and involves stuffing two live ferrets into your clothes and seeing who can endure the pain longer. The goal is to keep the rodent in the pants as long as possible without taking them off. The hobby emerged in the 19th century as a form of entertainment for miners and is currently celebrated at some festivals and fairs in the United Kingdom. However, it is considered a cruel game for rodents and has been criticized and banned in some places.

Sepak takraw is a recreational game that originated in Southeast Asia and is played on a court similar to volleyball. Teams consist of three players and the goal is to pass the rattan ball over the net without touching the playing field. Players may use any part of their bodies, except their hands and arms, to touch the ball. This sport is very popular in countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.

Worm Charming is a sport that originated in the United Kingdom and involves competitors trying to lure the largest number of worms from the ground in a short period of time. Participants can use any method they wish to attract the worms, such as singing, playing an instrument, or tapping the ground with a stick. This sport originated in the eighteenth century and is now practiced in some festivals and exhibitions.

The game of boxing chess was invented in 2003 by Dutch artist and director Ibbe Rubing. In a game of this sport, two opponents compete in alternating rounds of chess and boxing. The match usually begins with a game of chess, followed by a round of boxing, then another chess match, and so on. The winner can be determined by checkmate in chess or by knockout or decision in boxing.
