Düsseldorf’s International Cartwheel Championship

According to a recent press release. The city of Düsseldorf has been in love with cartwheels since 1288, legend has it. Now part of the cityscape, every visitor will come across the image of a cartwheel sooner or later, or even have children offer to perform them for money (a nickel or a dime a piece), as they do to passersby on the street all year long. The city founded an annual cartwheel championship in 1937, and now up to 700 boys and girls from up to 15 countries compete every year. The next event will take place June 20, 2010.
