Pig Olympics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pig Olympics are a sporting event entered by specially-bred and trained piglets.
The 2006 competition was held in Moscow, Russia, while in 2005 the Pig Olympics were held in China.
Events within the competition include pig-racing (over an obstacle course), pig swimming (introduced at the 2006 Pig Olympics), and 'pigball' or 'swineball' which is much like football or soccer.
The piglets in the games are not eaten, instead, they are bred for the next generation of pig-players.
