Blick Newsroom lets rabbits oracle about European Championship results
During the World Cup in South Africa, it was Paul the German octopus who predicted the outcomes of the matches—at the upcoming European Championship in Poland and Ukraine, it will be rabbits. At least in the Blick Group’s newsroom.
Before each Euro 2012 match, a rabbit will be allowed to enter a specially constructed mini football arena, as detailed in a press release. The two gates of the stadium are each decorated with carrots and the flags of the competing teams. The winner is - presumably - the team on which the animal bites within 90 seconds. If there are no bites at all, the game ends in a draw.
The Blick sports editorial team had an arena measuring four by five meters specially built at the Jucker Farmart adventure farm in Seegräben ZH for the not entirely serious game prophecy. Four rabbits have already been trained as football experts and have celebrity godmothers to look after them during the Euro: Ice princess Sarah Meier, heptathlete Linda Züblin, Olympic hero Donghua Li and wrestling king Nöldi Forrer.
From June 8, the long-eared football experts can be watched live daily from 4 p.m. on site at the Hasenstadion on the Jucker Farmart in Seegräben, via video on Blick.ch as well as on all other Blick channels.
