The Russians have created a new sport in the form of rubber doll white-water rafting.

150 competitors lined up for the start of the event known as the Bubble Baba Challenge, and for some reason they were mostly men.

The sport is not for the faint hearted as contestants have to plunge into the chilly waters of the Vouksa River near St Petersburg.

They then ride their plastic partners for a kilometre to the finish line.

The event, now in its fourth year, was conjoured up by a group of friends on a rafting trip.

A participant of a sex dolls rafting tournament has been disqualified for sexual abuse of an apparatus, Zizn’ newspaper reports.

Igor Osipov was not able to keep in his sexual desire, even in the cool water of the Vuoksa river near St. Petersburg.

Over 400 “sportsmen” took part in the Bubble Baba Challenge tournament. “It’s fun and difficult to swim 1200 meters in stormy river with an exotic apparatus, as inflatable ladies slip out of hands”, tournament organizer Dmitriy Bulaviniv said.

At a juries’ command participants jumped into the water. Strong wind and flow snatched out resilient dolls from strong men’s hands, and only Osipov,40, resolutely approached to the finish.

“I was shocked, I think it was an expression of his great desire to win,” Osipov’s friend said. The jury then noticed Osipov’s strange position and told him to moor. When he came out of the water, gazers saw signs of recent sexual activity on the swimmer’s doll.

The jury found the swimmer guilty of sexual abuse of the apparatus and disqualified him.

Air sex dolls can be used only for swimming, organizers say.

The first tournament took place in 2003, sponsored by a number of Russian sex shops.
