Official Recognition
being sought
The sport of egg throwing, thought to have been invented in
1322, is seeking official recognition via the English Sports Council. All required criteria have been fulfilled for
4 of the 5 sports and the application is now being resubmitted for the
5th. We expect their decision
shortly. It is hoped that success will
enable Egg Throwing to being admitted as a demonstration sport in the 2017 Rio
Olympics.
