Finland here again, hello. And with another odd sport. Suopotkupallo, literally swampkickball, but officially swampsoccer. Basically, a variation of soccer played in a swamp or a bog. The official site at suopotkupallo.fi has an english section as well. So, maybe include that in Part 3?

I should have mentioned that earlier, considering I praciced that sport myself a few years ago: Fischerstechen. A sport from southern Germany. Rules are quiet simpel: Two boats with 3 - 6 rowers an one poker holiding a long pole standing at the front or back of the boat. The objekt is to poke the oppenet into the water or make him lose his pole. It's often played just for fun between villages but there are also some traditonal annual turnaments. The most famous tournament takes place in the city of Ulm every spring. Here the pokers have to wear silly/traditional costumes and impersonat special roles like the yellow fool, Great Vesir or the King of Bavaria. You'll easily find some Videofootage on you tube and agree that it is definitly nuts.

In Colombia, we have a sport called Tejo. You throw a 1 pound metal disc to hit paper triangles filled with explosives in a box with clay about 12 meters away. In the middle of the box, there's a metal ring with the triangles placed at the top, bottom, left and right of the ring. You get points if you pop the triangles and more points if your disc lands in the middle of the ring without hitting any of them. It's quite popular.

@@NinhLyUK We're a strange bunch. Sauna competition is easily explained. It's exactly what it sounds like, whoever can stay in the sauna the longest; wins. There was a small controversy or at least a bit of a bow-wow around it a few years back when a Russian contender died in the finals. Also the Finnish contestant ended up with severe burns (well, both did as well as both losing their consciousness) and he ended up in a coma. The reason the Russian guy (Vladimir Ladyženski) died was a combination of severe burns as well as using pain killers and sedatives, which were explicitly forbidden. Though, because of the controversy, there hasn't been any new Sauna world championships since 2010.
