The Indian Rural Olympics


You think all the “extreme” sports you see on the X-Games are a new idea?
Hardly; India’s most adventurous athletes have been putting their bodies to the test at the Rural Olympics for 76 years.
How do you train for that?
Held near Ludhiana in the northern part of the country, the games feature marquee events such as Getting Run Over by a Tractor, Holding a Plow with your Teeth, and Hockey(?). Is this where the guys from Jackass get some of their ideas?
They all got plowed at the afterparty.
