Maybe, but we don't need anymore judged sports in the Olympics. However, add a elephant and a clown and this would make a great circus act. -- Marty |

It's called "Artistic Cycling" An officially recognized sport by the
UCI. from http://www.uci.ch/english/indoor/index.htm The first unofficial world championships were held in 1888, put on by German-American Nicholas Edward Kaufmann, in artistic cycling. It is unclear how many nations sent competitors to this event. A few years later, in 1893, again in the USA, cycleball was played in public for the first time. The inspiration for this discipline is said to have been the act of Kaufmann, a professional trick cyclist, and his dog 'Mops,' whom he used to bat playfully with his front wheel. The sport has now all but disappeared from the USA, but has long been popular in Germany, the acknowledged world leader in indoor cycling. In fact, in Germany, indoor cycling is more popular in the junior ranks than the outdoor versions of the sport. Today, ten thousand indoor cyclists hold competitive licences in Germany. Artistic cyclingOfficial world championships in cycleball have taken place since 1930. Artistic cycling began held its first official world championships in 1956 for men, and in 1970 for women. At the Böblingen World Championships - 2000, 21 nations sent a total of 172 athletes, and the press corps numbered 102, including 22 working for television companies. So what happens? The sport is divided into two disciplines: cycleball and artistic cycling. All competition takes place on a wooden court with an area of 14m x 12m. For cycleball edge barriers 30cm high are put in place to prevent the ball going out of play. Most competitors specialise in either cycleball or artistic cycling, with very few crossing over. |
