Russia’s inflatable sex doll water sports
There are the serious sporting events… and then there is Russia’s Bubble Baba Challenge. The annual race sees hundreds of competitors hurl themselves across river rapids riding inflatable sex dolls.
Over 500 people participated in the eighth annual Bubble Baba race on August 31. The increasingly popular event takes place on the Vuoksa River’s Losevo Rapids, about 40km from St. Petersburg. Men and women both take part, with a separate heat for women-only races. No special qualification is required other than being over 16, a decent swimmer, and sober (participants are tested before the race).
