Brunsbüttel, Germany, August 30, 2009--A competitor throws a ball in the annual Mudflat Olympic Games, a charity sports event played exclusively in mud.

One of the games is the eel relay race, during which runners carry a fake-eel "baton" made of a bicycle tire's inner tube filled with rotting fish guts, rice, and a vibrator, according to the German publication The Local.
