Latvian Sports

A common and most popular sport amongst women in Latvia is wood pushing. The object is to pile as many logs as possible into your baby's carriage, push carriage as fast as you can for 15 meters and ensure that the wood stays dry. Meet Ivanka she was the village champion in 2006, 2008 and 2009. Ivanka is the oldest person in the village, she is 43 years young.

Ivanka would be AWESOME to have around while camping! Going to get wood and keep it dry is a 'round the clock activity when tenting.
