The Cotswold Olimpick Games originated in 1612 in Chipping Campden, England, and despite lengthy interruptions, continue today. Originally, the Games included standard competetions such as running, jumping, dancing, and equestrian events, along with traditional contests such as sword, quarterstaff, and sledgehammer throwing. Several colorful events have been added since the 1966 revival, including motorcycle scrambling, judo, a tug of war, piano smashing, and shin kicking.
