What is the use of running when you are on the wrong road?
—Bavarian Proverb
No worries, though—my name is Lederhosen Pug, and I know the way (知道).
And that way does not always lead through major sports. Indeed, every late-January and early-February, my Bavaria is home to one of the most distinctive competitions you have never seen.
It's called Aperschnalzen, and it is an elaborate form of rhythmic whipping that my Bavarian pug ancestors say would help drive the remnants of winter away. I asked Grandma Pug about this, and she said that her grandpa used to be a top-whipper (and presumably beckoned springtime, year-after-year). Take a look.
Aperschnalzen (Whipcracking).
Gotta go. I need to work on my technique (only six months before the competitions begin).
