Missing the Olympics?
Well, listen to our show about weird sports!
Including extreme ironing, where people press their clothes at the top of volcanoes, in caves, even while hanging upside down in trees!
And there's cheese rolling, where people chase a cheese wheel which is barrelling down a steep hill.
And then there's the oh, so British sport of shin kicking! This is a centuries-old wrestling sport where opponents grab each other by the shoulders and kick the shin out of each other.
This episode originally aired on September 27, 2023.
