 Every country has a national sport and the most popular sports are now played across the world. Most people have heard of sports like football, basketball and baseball. However, in most countries, people also play unusual sports with strange and interesting rules. Here are our top three unusual sports from around the world. Dragon Boat Racing Every year in Singapore, thousands of people come to watch the dragon boat race. A dragon boat is a traditional Chinese boat with a painted dragon’s head on one end. There are 22 people in each boat, and they race in the water. Dragon boat racing is also popular in China, Malaysia and Indonesia. Caber Toss In this sport, people compete by throwing a large piece of wood called a “caber” as far as they can. The caber toss is an ancient Scottish sport. The caber has no official size or shape, but it is usually the size of a small tree. Fireball Football Students in Indonesia play this game to welcome the month of Ramadan (斋月). It is similar to football. The ball is made from coconut shells. Before starting the game, players pour salt on themselves and then set the ball on fire. The ball is on fire throughout the game and the players play with their bare feet (赤脚). |
