Home > Wok Racing
Wok Racing is a new kind of sport developed by german talk show host Stefan Raab. Chinese woks are used to slide down an Olympic bobsled track. There are competitions for 1-person-woksleds and 4-person-woksleds.1 History
Wok Racing was inspired by a lost bet. In November 2003 the first official Wok world championship was broadcast from Winterberg. The immediate success led to the second world championship on March 4 2004.
Participants are mostly prominent pop singers and talk show hosts, but there are also known athletes that have ongoing professional careers in winter sports and the Jamaica olympic team.
