For the first time, the traditional practice of climbing coconut trees for fresh juice on China's tropical island of Hainan has been included as a competitive event at a national sports gathering. Held in Sanya during the 12th National Traditional Games of Ethnic Minorities of China, coconut tree climbing challenged participants to scale a pole as quickly as possible to hit a button at the top – a thrilling race against time and a true showcase of skill and technique.
