A coach encourages piglets to chase the ball during final training for the country’s first ‘pigball’ championship starting on Saturday, on the outskirts of Moscow, Friday, June 3, 2005. The unusual sport, known to fans as porkball, is just like football with two evenly-matched teams comprised of five pigs. The event has been organised by a group of fans from the Federation of Sportive Pig-breeding. (AP Photo/Alexander Zemlianichenko)
