STRANGE SPORTS PEOPLE PLAY AROUND THE WORLD

[MARÍA ESTHER]

It's interesting to read about the weird games people play, unlike I decided to look for new ones and give you a short review.

Some games that call my attention are:

OSTRICH RAICING. It was originated in Africa and eventually made its way over to the US. Ostriches can reach a surprising speed of 43 miles an hour, and their legs can reach up to 16 feet in a single stride. During a game of ostrich racing, people sit on ostriches and race them around a track.

CHESS BOXING: It's a combination of knocking out and checkmating opponents. The battle consists of 11 round in which players alternate between playing traditional chess and boxing.

EXTREME IRONING: Competitors are called "ironists" go to a remote location and iron their clothes. It has been performed underwater, hanging from cliffs, shile skiing or snowboarding and even on top of vehicles.

Hope you like it.
