Sports
National Sports: Biking and Kiiking (An Estonian Swing Sport)
National Dance: The Second Person From The Left In The "Down Under" Music Video At 1:35. We call it the "Ouagadougou," and it has a great spiritual significance.
Other Sports:
Football: We are so terrible at FIFA that we don't even participate in it (as well as not having a team at all). However, we will never pass up the chance to watch other countries beat Argentina at it.
Hobbyhorsing: We think this is a great sport and support the development of it across the world.
Extreme Ironing: We hope to participate in this some day.
Swimming: It can save your life. You should learn if you don't know how to swim yet.
Walking: There's nothing wrong with taking a nice stroll (unless it is into a giant pit of lava). We recommend that you learn to walk if you don't know how to yet and are physically able to.
