Chinlone or cane ball is the traditional sport of Myanmar. Six players stand in a
circle and try to keep a hollow rattan ball in the air as long as possible using only their feet
and knees. Both men and women play chinlone, often on the same team.
Chinlone is non-competitive ... there are no losers or winners. The focus is on how beautiful
or skilful one kicks the ball. They take turns going to the centre where they try to do as
many difficult and skilful moves as they can.
