Friday, 9th March sees the annual "Wok WM" kick off in Innsbruck, for the fifth time.
For our non German guests, this is where celebrities decide to take to a professional toboggan/bob sleigh track using only a wok to get down the ice chute in the quickest time. Top speeds are just shy of 100 kph- on a frying pan, for God's sake.

I think Stefan Raab, the presenter, won his own event last year, because he kind of cheated. He apparently heated is Wok (and the two saucers) up prior the race... I have only seen 5 mins of it, but it looked scary and funny. Nonetheless there are more non humoured Germans out there than English. That's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually lookin forward to seeing some of this and I do like Raabie boy- he is deffo a talent and another fave is his show "Schlag den Raab".
ReplyDeleteAs to your last point, well, maybe- but there sure are some funny Germans around! ;-)
This looks like top stuff. I'd love to have a go. Really.

ReplyDeleteDeffo worth a crack, unless you're a tad lardy. Then it's one wok per cheek. :oD
