FORGET London, Sochi and Brazil …. if
you want to be entertained by top-class athletes putting their bodies on the
line in search of sporting immortality, look no further than Llanwrtyd Wells in
Wales, and the World Alternative Games.
Created after it was announced that London
would be hosting the 2012 Olympic Games, the World Alternative Games has become
famous for the wide variety of unique and fascinating events, including everything
from Worm Charming to Chariot Racing, from the Bathtubbing Championships to the Wife Carrying Championships.
Perhaps the most popular and
well-known events are the World Bog Snorkelling championships, the Man vs Horse
race and the Gravy Wrestling championships.
The opening ceremony for this year's
games in Llanwrtyd Wells, Wales, takes place on August 8.
