Traveling the globe to seek out the weird and the wonderful in the world of sport, this program opens with the rather banal contest of tug-of-war, but picks up quickly with such offbeat entries as the ear pull (think of arm wrestling with bands around the contestant's ears), Finland's version of baseball (the pitcher stands next to the batter and throws the ball directly into the air), and the always popular sumo wrestling, where extremely large men in g-strings try to knock each other out of a circle. Episodic by definition, this is still recommended for larger sports collections. Aud: J, H, P. (R. Pitman)
