Have you ever played snowballs? Have you ever walked the earth? Have you ever breathed air? If not, then throwing snowballs is unlikely to be to your liking. And if so, then welcome to the funniest winter sports championship - playing snowballswhich is taking place right now!
While there is no snow in Austria, and poor skiers have to roll down the mountain on stones, in Japan a new international sport has arisen in the snow, which is already climbing to the heights of world fame. Yukigassen - not at all traditional (although one could expect everything from the Japanese), but a very young hot cold sport. It was invented for commercial reasons to bring popularity to the Showa-Shinzan Mountain Resort.
Itself snowball game, called yukigassen, is a mixture of chess, paintball and a yard dump. The players of each team must knock out all opponents with snowballs. Approaching according to the rules from different sides of the field measuring about 40 by 10 meters, the participants accurately throw snowballs at each other for three sets of three minutes each. You can win either by knocking out all opponents, or by capturing the flag.
And now is the time for shocking numbers. There are 2,000 Yukigassen teams in Japan alone! Snowball sports are taking over the United States and Canada; the all-American championship has already taken place in Anchorage (Alaska). Really snowball game will ever be included in the Winter Olympics? Perhaps the Russians will be able to show their class in this sport!

Which predictions of the futurists of the 1950s have already come true, and which will come true soon: distance learning, drones, etc
Futurology is a very interesting teaching that is at the intersection of science, art and common sense. It has nothing to do with predictions, since futurologists always carefully follow technical innovations and try to guess the vector of human development. Sometimes it works out well, and then we admire their perspicacity, sometimes the trends are guessed wrong, and in that case it looks funny. Not so long ago, another direction has become fashionable - retrofuturism, - the study of prog
