Winning the 2012 World Alternative Games Egg Throwing Championships

A look back at the 2012 World Alternative Games Egg Throwing Championships in Llanwrtyd Wells, Wales.



My team-mate Jas Kukielka and I were victorious in a field of 19 teams, with players from Wales, England, France, the Republic of Ireland, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands competing for the gold medal.

The sport involves one player as the Egg Thrower and one as the Egg Catcher. Each pair chose two raw eggs and throw / toss / lob the egg to their partner. The Thrower always remains at one end, with the Catcher moving further back after each successful catch until there is just one team left standing with a whole unbroken egg.

About the World Alternative Games.

The World Alternative Games was a festival of sport that took place in Britain’s Smallest Town – Llanwrtyd Wells in Wales. The inaugural edition in 2012 saw over 50 different weird and wacky, odd and obscure sports taking place during the two week event.

The World Alternative Games were held in 2012, 2014, 2016 and 2018.

Find out more on the World Alternative Games website.

When I started blogging about taking part in different sports and games back in 2006 I never realised that six years later I’d be an actual world champion!
