disassembles the tent set up at the start point. Then, they fled somewhere and
took special bags ahead, and each participant went into the sack to the saddle.
In such a case, the competitors, who competed at a certain distance, skipped
the backs off at a certain point and retreated forward. Then, the participants
pass and threw the balls into the rim on the tree. The family ran to a certain
point with a concrete cobweb, then crossed the wooden rope and slid his hands
and feet and ran to the next obstacle. At this time, the team moves on a
parallel rope between the two trees, and then shoots a special axis for the
mounted sail. Here, members of the family
entered a circle and walked to a certain distance and found the words that were
meant for the table above. The team then jumped a little further and jumped to
the distance determined by the rope hung on the tree. Then they took the father
and mother from the victim’s point of departure and took him to the finish.
Here they reset the tent that they had removed at the start point and returned
to their previous position. The team that finished the race with the fastest
and most accurate (or less mistaken) score was considered a winner.Thus, competitions
