I don't know how I made it this far in life without knowing about this. I am now officially a fan of the sport of competitive rabbit hopping.

An article in National Geographic says:

The roots of rabbit hopping are in Sweden, where the sport began in the 1970s. Today, active rabbit hoppers in Scandinavia, the United Kingdom, and Germany number more than 4,000, and an event can be found somewhere in Europe just about every weekend. A major competition draws as many as 200 entrants.

"Owners and rabbits take the competition very seriously," said Sam Lawrie, a rabbit hopper from the United Kingdom.
