You heard it here. The third annual “Pig Olympics” have been held in Russia. 12 piglets from seven countries took part in the games, which included pig-racing, a short run where their trainers ran behind encouraging them to go faster, pig-swimming and pigball where the pigs chased a ball covered in yummy fish oil. Pig enthusiasts laid bets on the competitors in each event, at an exhibition centre near Moscow. Contestants included Mykola from Ukraine, Nelson from South Africa, and the home favourite Kostik Russisch Schwein.
