I classified this as "other sports" because in the end it's a competition of sorts.

Game2: Winter will see 30 participants, evenly split between men and women, armed with knives and dropped into the Siberian wilderness for a nine-month survival test.

Starting in July 2017, they will be competing for a £1.3 million prize, and are expected to hunt and fish for food in the bleak taiga forest in order to stay alive.

The daring contestants – who must be over 18 and declared “mentally sane” – will be allowed 100kg of equipment to last them until April 1 2018, and are not permitted to take in guns.

Shockingly, the rules for the contest originally stated: “Everything is allowed. Fighting, alcohol, murder, rape, smoking, anything.”

Organizers go on to say that they will not intervene in the event a fight breaks out or a rape/murder occurs, but Russian criminal law will still apply and contestants were warned "The police will come and take you away" if evidence of criminality exists.  The show will be 'filmed' by 2,000 fixed position cameras scattered throughout the region and live-streamed on the internet 24/7. 

How likely is it that something brutal will happen?  Well, the winners purse of £1.3 million will be divided among those who survive to the end.
