The Sloshy Mud Olympics
The German Mud Olympics is an annual event that the residents of Brunsbuttel always look forward to. While most athletes dread playing their respective sports in the rain and mud, it’s a little different in this part of Germany. The official name of this sporting event is Wattolympiade, and it is a celebration of muddy athletics. It’s significantly harder to play most sports in muddy conditions - which is exactly how these athletes like it. This sporting event has taken place every year since 1978. Not only do the athletes enjoy the competition, but it also attracts thousands of spectators from across the country.
You can watch sports such as football, volleyball and handball at the event. On top of this, the participants always go out of their way to design the craziest costumes possible.
