True sportsmanship is a quality that people, and not just sportsmen, dream to possess on the field as well as in their respective personal lives.

Sports news and various entertainment providers have got a field day broadcasting these events and we, as audiences have a good time watching them.
Funny sports news will not just consist of these funny antics but reaches up to some hilarious and quite often bizarre sports competitions. There are numerous news providers who track down these seriously funny sports competitions and bring it to their viewers.
The Finnish people take their beer very seriously and in what way! They’ve already developed a festival that is a walking competition that has a twist. The all male players have to cover a 253.5m long course covered with obstacles over land and water while hauling their wife on their own back!! The victorious one gets a mobile phone and even more importantly, the equivalent of his wifes weight in beer!
The participants have to be careful of dropping or bouncing the wife as that includes a fine. Traditionally the participants would have to be married to the woman, however in modern times any suitable female will do provided she is above 17 years of age and weighs over 49 kg.
For the person in search of some action head over to Pamplona in Spain because of their annual event, the Running with the Bulls! This sport involves a bull pursuing the vast number of participants in the narrow lanes of Pamplona for nearly a kilometer. The chase ends finally inside the bullring in which the bulls are left to fend for themselves. Each and every year the crowds go crazy during this event ultimately causing some seriously funny moments.
For the compassionate that feel a little bit revolted by the gory nature with the Running of the Bulls event comes a compassionate alternative. The Festival of San Fermin is commemorated each year with the thrilling Running with the Nudes events. Quite similar to the Running with the Bulls, this event too demands people running in the twisting streets of Pamplona; the only catch is that they are completely nude! A fitting reply, someone can say, for the barbarity involved in bullfights.
A boat race would not be called hilarious. However, not the Henley on Todd Regatta, an annual sports event held in Alice Springs. The Alice Springs version of the very English Henley on Thames regatta involves boating all right, but over a dry river bed. That is so as Alice Springs lacks the active water body as it is very near Central Australia. This seriously funny sports event has been doing news due to its large boats that have no bottom and sees the participants making a mad dash for the finish line running inside these hollow boats.
