Some
unusual sports to consider in this quiet
time for Highline Sports
Wife Carrying
Sure enough, there is a
Wikipedia article
about it. This sport involves men running
through an obstacle course while carrying the
wife as pictured above. The rules are as
follows: All Participants Must Have Fun, Wife
must weigh at least 49 kg (108 lbs) , 15
second penalty for dropping the wife, wife must
wear helmet. No, this doesn’t sound weird or
unusual at all…

Shin Kicking
The object of this sport is to kick the other
person’s shins until they’re so weak they fall
down (or you can throw them down). Their motto:
If it ain’t broke, you’re not kicking hard
enough. According to the official Shin Kicking
website, they’re petitioning to get this one in
the Olympics.
