sports day -> chess boxing?

Are obese kids redundant during sports day?

Just want to get the ball rolling ......

It is a personal observation that obese kids at the junior school are often left out of running events due to their physical outlook. Get real, who wants to slow down a race where agility and speed is needed. No one loves to lose.

However, coming across to the other side of the camp.... at SASS. There is a tug-o-war when zero becomes heroes and where fats are biceps. I really hope to see events cater to these students at the junior school. Example....tug-O-war....sumo wrestling... junior judo or even boxing (that's something I learned in P3 back in 1977). Why not? A SAPTA cup for this main event. These kids are also part of a sport's day team besides being "eyed" as forwards for our esteemed rugby team. Anyone with constructive ideas?

PS : Hehe...no offence to teachers....just an observation

after just reading the headline, I was thinking to myself: what about a sport that doesn't just test athletic capabilities? How about chess-boxing?


In chess-boxing, you lose either through using up 12 minutes on your turn in chess, in a checkmate, or a knockout in actual boxing. /just searc online to find out more about it.


So, Chess-boxing for National Day?
