Kangaroo March:
One of the competitors rests his both the hands on the floor, raises his legs and takes them to the back of the opponent’s waist supported by his thighs (opponent’s thighs). He, then, makes scissor cross of his ankles firmly and sways his body, keeping his waist raised. The opponent (Who lifts the weight) catches the ankles of the player with his both the hands, at the back of his waist. In this position the weight holder walks three meters and comes back the same distance Now the other competitor i.e., the weight holder repeats the same process and one who covers the distance in the minimum duration, is the winner.
