Weirdest Sports You’ve Probably Never Heard of

Cheese Rolling

This is an annual event that is held in England, but the game was invented by locals from a village of Brockworth, Gloucestershire. Other countries such as the United States, Nepal, and Australis currently do take part in the annual event.

Participants roll from a hill after which competitors start racing. The winner is declared as the first person to cross the line as they aim to catch the cheese. The actual award for the winner is a prize equivalent to real cheese.
