Now that is just awesome! (I love discovering new sports about which I have never heard, and yet clearly there are people who are very serious about it. It may be a "small world", but it's also a big world)
I used to love watching this sport when I was a little kid and ABC's Wide World of Sports truly did show a world presentation of sports around the world. Today, all we get are the big money sports, which is an uninteresting and paltry selection compared to what we used to get.

ReplyDeleteI learned of this sport when it was featured in a sub-plot of the British TV show "Kingdom"...I think it was the second or third episode. Cool stuff!
ReplyDeleteI was reminded of field gun competitions, which seems like more of a team effort: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32s4qCCFnmk
