topoxforddoc Posted June 3, 2023 Share #1 Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Championship Point - the Winning Moment The winning kick for the World Shin Kicking Championship yesterday evening at Robert Dover's Olympick Games, held since 1612 at Dover's Hill in Chipping Campden. Probably inspired by his student experiences at the Gog Magog Olympiks on Gog Magog Hill in Cambridge, Robert Dover established the Cotswold Olympicks in 1612. After a short breast in the late 18th and early 20th Century, the Games were revived in 1951 and held ever since. The contestants must hold each others shoulders and can only kick between the knee and ankle. The aim is to unbalance the opponent, so that they fall, meaning the winner a point. Throwing your opponent is not allowed. The contest is the best of three points and is adjudicated by the Stickler. Mike, the new World Champion, with his winning kick to become the 2023 World Shin Kicking Champion. S(006) 280/4 APO-R, 1.4x APO Extender with Lei-ko lens adapter ring Welcome, dear visitor!

fotografr Posted June 4, 2023 Share #6 Posted June 4, 2023 I would put this sport in the same category of Cow Chip Throwing, which takes place at various events during the summer here in Wisconsin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
