    Weird Sports

    A bit of fun.....name a weird International sport that nobody probably knows about....explain the rules and post a clip.

    Kabaddi - An Indian sport which is a cross between "tag", Sumo wrestling and Rugby....basically the "defenders" link hands or arms (sometimes 3, sometimes 4...no idea why), one "attacker" has to attack the defenders, tag one of them...then escape back to the other side by any means necessary short of punching or kicking.

    Here we have the Women's World Cup of 2014......New Zealand (massive "Sumo" girls) v Mexico (best player number 25)

    My interest?.....My girlfriend's daughter, Mariana, plays number 3 for Mexico and I've followed her a few times on YouTube as she has travelled the World.....she made a cracking tackle on a NZ "sumo" on 20 minutes 30 seconds, which brought a huge cheer from the crowd....enjoy.

    Didn't Channel 4 used to broadcast Kabaddi on a regular basis years ago?
