The Bubble Baba Challenge in Russia

The Bubble Baba Challenge is an event held in the rapids of the Vuoksi River in Russia, whereby contestants race in the water using sex dolls as flotation devices. It began in 2003 as a joke between a few friends. After that, it was staged yearly until a ban was enacted in 2012. However, the popularity of this competition continued, and in 2021, the Bubble Buba challenge was reborn as part of the newly revived Vuoksa water festival.

The restored event saw dozens of racers cycling with their inflatables across St Petersburg to brave the waters, which some participants have dubbed the "highlight of the summer." Interestingly, participants have to pass an alcohol test to enter.
