The upcoming World Alternative Games will once again feature an Egg Throwing competition!
Taking place in Llanwrtyd Wells, Wales during the morning session on Sunday 10th August the Egg Throwing tournament ('Taflu Wyau' in Welsh) is an Open event.
Players compete in pairs and the aim is to throw and catch a raw egg without breakage. After each round the teams must move further apart until there is just one team left standing with a whole unbroken egg.
Its a great, fun event and at the 2012 World Alternative Games me and my team-mate Jas Kukielka won the competition!
