Yes, every year I was at primary school we had to take part in ridiculous stunts like a three-legged race. I loathe and detest anything like this, was stupidly tall for my age so often a foot taller than the person I was tied to and so usually ended up falling over and hurting myself quite badly. I tried all sorts of things to get out of sports day, including making myself sick and deliberately getting stung by a bee, but it never worked :(
Oh, amen to that! I hated sports days and just wouldn't go. Don't even get me started on swimming lessons . . . I refused to bring bathers to school ever.
