Hide-and-seek as a sport!
Professor Hazuki from Nippon University, Japan wants this game of hide-and-seek to be included officially in the Olympics Games. He has developed a game that has two teams of seven players.
They play in a 10-minute match on a square area that measures 65 x 65 feet (whereas the playing area for children under 12 is less than that). Professor Hazuki proposes that the game is presented as an exhibition sport.
He has also set up the Japan Hide-and-Seek Promotion Committee, which has over 1,000 members now. For now, it hasn’t been accepted by the Olympic committee yet. But if they do, it could become a professional sport.
