Nigeria and other African countries were conspicuously absent at the 2018 edition of World Snail Racing Championship. Representatives from the African continent still have not started making themselves available with their snails to participate in a event that is over 25 years old.

The annual World Snail Racing Championship took place at a summer fete in Norfolk, Eastern England, on Saturday, July 22.

Over 150 snails took part in the event and the prize was a silver tankard stuffed with lettuce leaves.

There was a hilarious beginning as the race starter shouted “Ready, steady, slow!” Instead of moving, the snails were stuck at a the start line even as the crowd cheered on. Probably the ‘athletes’ or should I say ‘snailthletes’did not hear the official.
The championship is a special occasion with different racing rules though.
The snails are placed on a special damp cloth marked with three concentric circles and the creatures race 13 inches (33 cm) to the outer ring.
