A new idea for plastic flower pots

I’ve recently found out about a new sport. It’s called Sport Stacking. You use what look like either plastic flower pots or largish plastic coffee cups and stack them in 3’s, 6’s etc. (called ‘upstacking’), and then unstuck them (called ‘downstacking’). I kid you not! The picture shows my wife just completing a ‘six’ stack.

You may be wondering whether you could really call this a sport. Well, there’s a World Sport Stacking Association and the world record for upstacking and downstacking three stacks of three cups is 1.86 seconds, set at this year's world championships by an 11 year old! It could only happen in America!

You know, there’s a whole unexplored world out there …
