participants compete during the second annual office chair
championships in Bad Koenig, 30 kilometres southeast of Darmstadt,
Germany. About 80 participants competed on a downhill stretch of road
using especially adapted desk furniture. The downhill course measured 200
metres and included an additional challenge in the form of a small ramp.
Additional propulsion methods such as rockets or motors were banned, so
competitors fine-tuned their racing vehicles with in-line skating wheels
and adopted a variety of positions, sitting upright or streamlining their
bodies in a lying position, organiser Rene Karg said.(Source:
