That's it @JeslynL I think both of the sports are a good indicator of what we humans do when we want to have fun. Nothing gets in the way of a good game 🙂

Hello to all,
I had a good laugh at what @JeslynL showed. I never knew this existed 😄
My top peculiar sport is Curling. I know Curling is very famous and is part of the Olympics this year, but I just dont get it.

Catch a glimpse of what hobby-horsing is like! (Note: This video does not represent my opinions or thoughts about hobby-horsing.)
It is both peculiar and intriguing to me.

Ever heard of Hu-tu-tu, @Surendra, @BishowvijayaP ?
The name must be different but I think the game originated in Asia. In its sporty form you have two teams on a field divided in halves. The players try to capture the adverseries by touching them on the opposite half and coming back on their own before their breath runs out - otherwise they are captured instead. Not running out of one's breath is proven by constantly making hoo-too-too-too-too-too sound.

...and the list goes on and on. You probably aren't Scottish when you don't mention golf. Britain is a weird sports factory! Some of them are not that strange, however. Is there any peculiar tradition in your county, @colinchaffers?
I just forgot the wee sport. Most of the sport do have strange history, like football started off by kicking run a sheep's bladder about.
Morris dancing is one of many traditions in the UK, it will probably be an Olympic sport by the end of the century.
