Best Answer

In the medieval ages, jousting was a martial game between two horsemen and using lances, often as part of a tournament. The primary aim is to strike the opponent with the lance while riding towards him at high speed, if possible breaking the lance on the opponent's shield or armor, or by unhorsing him.

Currently, there are the following jousting sports:

  • Sea jousting, a water-based sport
  • Finger Jousting, a modern obscure sport
  • Joust (roller coaster), a roller coaster at Dutch Wonderland
  • Animals jousting with horns or antlers
