Since most of the major sports have been postponed due to coronavirus concerns, ESPN has decided to bring you The Ocho months ahead of schedule. While the event usually takes place on August 8, ESPN is treating their viewers to an early dose and will air Ocho sports events on March 22.

How to Stream ‘ESPN8: The Ocho’

The yearly event began in the summer of 2017 and was inspired by the movie “Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story” starring Vince Vaughn, Christine Taylor and Ben Stiller. The event sees ESPN2 turn into ESPN8 and for 24 hours, the channel shows “the world’s most bizarre, innovative and entertaining” sporting events, according to The Washington Post.

Below are this year’s events as listed by ESPN:

  • Stupid Robot Fighting League: Created in New Zealand by John Espin, stupid robot fighting is a rather unique form of fighting that pits two life-sized hanging puppets controlled by an operator sitting behind each Stupid Robot.
  • 2019 Jelle’s Marble Runs: Races in which both participants and spectators are marbles.
  • Cherry Pit Spitting: The 46th Annual Cherry Pit-Spitting Competition is held each year in Eau Claire, Mich., with one goal for competitors — to spit the farthest cherry pit.
  • Sign Spinning: The 12th Annual World Sign Spinning Championship, held in Las Vegas, brought together AArrow Sign Spinners from more than 50 cities and a dozen countries to asses style, execution, and technical sign spinning ability.
  • 2007 World Sport Stacking Championships: Sport stacking can be an individual or team sport where participants stack specially designed cups in predetermined sequences as fast as possible.
  • 2019 Death Diving World Championship : An amateur diving sport performed from a 10m platform with separate competitions for Classic and Freestyle.
