31-legged race?!?

I remember the 3-legged races at school. I was generally very scared to do them as I feared I would fall and hurt myself and I remember someone broke their arm the last time we had the race at school. Imagine my surprise then when I heard they had 31-legged races over here!

30 kids, 31 legs and they are good! It was terrifying watching the races because the kids were holding onto each other so if they fell (and some did), they would land on their faces! One team is chosen from each area and then in December there is an all-Japan final in Tokyo.

Here I am doing my best sports commentator impression, except I say “OH MY GOD” about twenty times.

And here's the result!
