I noticed that the cheese rolling seems to be rather dangerous,
“The 2009 races saw 58 casualties……..
Thirty five of the injured were competitors, four were catchers at the bottom of the hill and nineteen were spectators.”

I always liked Chess Boxing. It’s not so much the fact that boxing is involved, but the concept of the struggle one has to make logical decisions after taking many blows to the head. It requires a great deal of focus and strength in mind and body.
