Indian villagers have been holding their own version of the Olympics, which includes an event where participants are run over by tractors. Popularly known as the rural Olympics, the games are held every year in Kila Raipur, 11 miles from Ludhiana city in the northern Indian state of Punjab.

The competition consists of 40 to 50 events and features a wide variety of rural games from tug-of-war to horse races and cock fighting.

But it is the unusual and dare devil stunts that are the biggest draw with the spectators - such as men being run over by tractors and a 100 metre sprint for the over 75s. See the event's video below.
