Chess boxing
starts with a four minute game of chess
and is followed by two minutes of boxing. Each match
can last up to eleven rounds, switching between boxing
and chess. This is a sport for those who like to use
their brains as well as their strength. The Chess Boxing
Organization’s motto is ‘Fighting is done in the ring and
wars are waged on the board’
Cheese rolling
starts on the top of
a hill down which a round of
Double Gloucester cheese
is rolled. The competitors
run as fast as they can
and try to beat the
cheese to the finish
line. The cheese almost
always wins, because it
can reach speeds of up to
112 km/h.
