What people wouldn’t do for the sake of victory and sports passion! If in professional sports it is usually forbidden to injure rivals, there are many less well-known competitions that now and then turn into bloody battles.
In the new episode of ‘How It Was,’ we highlight five of the strangest - and bloodiest - sports that never became professional sports but are rather popular in their homeland. You will learn how Florentine football differs from the ordinary one, what is the alternative to bullfighting in Spain, why Turkish wrestlers rub themselves with olive oil before the competition, and what the Battle of the Oranges represents for Italians.
