One of the most interesting events to gain prominence in the absence of the major sports leagues is marble racing.

The competition takes the form of 16 marble racing teams, all competing from their own “home” tracks, and traveling to the tracks of other teams.
It has been running since February 2020, but achieved greater prominence after the cancellation of many interpersonal sports leagues.
