Drama! Run Nation Championship: Runners Collide at Full Speed with High Risk of Injury

A new controversial sport from Australia called Run Nation Championship (RNC) has emerged, where 'running into each other' is not just part of the game, but the primary objective. Muscular participants stand a few meters apart, then run at full speed towards each other with only a mouth guard for protection. The goal is simple: whoever remains standing wins, while the other typically falls to the ground dazed. Inspired by viral social media 'run it straight' challenges, the sport has quickly gained popularity despite medical professionals warning about potential brain injuries. The most recent championship in Sydney sold out all 5,500 seats, suggesting the sport's growing appeal despite serious safety concerns.
