Sparta and Slavia fans revive 60-year-old wheelbarrow bet

On the 60th anniversary of an old bet, 16 fans of Sparta and Slavia have set out from Smržovka in northern Bohemia on a 145-kilometre journey to next week’s Prague football derby. The trip also has a charitable aim: raising funds to repair a local sledding track.

Back in 1965, Sparta supporter Antonín Pavlíček pushed Slavia fan František Pacák the entire way. This time, participants will take turns both sitting in and pushing the wheelbarrow.
