In the Udupi region of southern India Kambala is big. What started as farmers having fun racing with their buffaloes in the rice fields after harvest has now become a full fledged sporting spectacle with dedicated arenas Held during the post harvest festive season villages send their youngest and bravest men who race along with their buffaloes on tracks mimicking the slushy fields Running barefoot these runners have often matched or even beaten Olympic sprint records!
