Run Run Rudolph: The World of Reindeer Racing

Enjoy!

Reindeer racing, in which competitors on skis are pulled by reindeer galloping down the snow-covered trail, is a popular sport in Norway, Finland, and Russia. The indigenous Sami people are reindeer herders, and know which are the fastest for the sport. Reindeer that run the fastest are highly prized for breeding purposes, and sometimes reindeer are the actual prize for winning a race!

Variations on the sport include reindeer pulling sleds, and reindeer teams of two or more. In Anchorage, Alaska, people actually race against reindeer, which ends up looking like the running of the bulls in Pamplona.

 

 

Rally Legend Walter Röhrl Scares German TV Host

Watch German television host Barbara Schöneberger’s facial expressions as she rides with rally legend Walter Röhrl.

Enjoy!

Look, when you mix rally legend Walter Röhrl and a turbocharged Audi, the accompanying video is almost certainly going to be worth a watch. We’re unsure if German television host Barbara Schöneberger knew just what the potent combination of Röhrl and a new Audi S3 would do when placed on a demanding section of track, but the way it’s rendered her silent, aside from a few muted squeaks, is amusing all the same.

The two-time WRC champ clearly puts the fear of the car gods into his passenger, as he, seemingly without any effort at all, flings the S3 around the track. Meanwhile, the facial expressions of the television host are all you need to know about how quickly Röhrl is driving.
