Real (Unusual) Sports
The list of unusual sports comprises mostly of unusual or novelty sporting events or traditional / local unusual sports that are only played occasionally or by a small number of people. On our complete list of sports, there are also many other sports that hold well organized competitions, and are played by many people around the world, that would very easily be categorized as weird or unusual. Here are a few of them.
Some of my favorites ...
