From bathtubbing to gravy wrestling …

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.
