What is Weird Sports about?
Ostrich racing? Cheese rolling? Chess boxing? With sports like that around, who needs football or baseball? In this wild tour of the weird world of sports, readers will meet athletes who are just as serious and focused as the famous superstar pros . . . they just play sports that are a little off the beaten path. Find out why marathon runners head to the North Pole . . . why people toss cabers, mullets, and stones . . . how elephants play soccer and people snorkel in bogs. Color pictures of all the sports are joined by lists of gear and stories from the field (or the gym or the bog!). International sports are part of the story, too, with trips to Pakistan for kabaddi, Italy for barrel-rolling, and Thailand for foot tennis. Don't follow the crowd and only read about traditional sports. Get a little weird and read about WEIRD SPORTS!
