World's Weirdest Sports by Matt Roper
Are you sick of the same old games? Are you tired of that silly round ball, that patch of muddy grass or that boring old rule book? Explore the limitless world of sport and put some zing back in your weekend! We've tracked down the world's weirdest sports, from the fascinating to the downright bizarre, from traditional games played for centuries to newfangled creations that are just catching on. Whether it is wrestling with a greasy coconut, fishing for squirrels or playing rugby under water, this book proves that people will do anything in the name of sport.
Matt Roper is a feature writer for The Daily Mirror. He lived in Brazil for six years, where he managed to survive tarantula attacks, falling coconuts and swimming in piranha-infested waters in the Amazon jungle. He also infiltrated a Bolivian drug gang to investigate child prostitution rings, and dodged bullets to report on death squads in Rio de Janeiro. He returned to the UK after setting up a project for street girls in one of Brazil's biggest cities. He now lives in London with his wife Daniela.
