It is, surely, the greatest of all sports. Two men or two women enter a pool of 1,500 liters of gravy. After 2 minutes of savage wrestling in the slippery, meaty sauce, one prevails.
It is a noble tradition in Lancashire, UK.
Joel Hicks--a competitor known as Galdalf the Grey--emerged victorious at the end of the championships in Rossendale. Nicole Taylor-Lyons won the women's category. Many of the competitors wore costumes. Proceeds from the event are donated to charity.
