Three legged race: this is another two person race. Two players stand side-by-side and tie their legs together. Then they run to the finish line. Most people fall because it isn't easy!

Man versus horse: This is a long race between humans and horses. Participants run up and down hills, through forests and across rivers. The winner must finish before the first horse. Tha race is in Wales.

Underwater Rugby: This game is played in a deep swimming pool. There are two teams of 11 players. They score by getting the ball into a basket at the opposite end of the pool. The teams use a special heavy ball full of salt water.
