A Sports Movie:

X, a sport, was first introduced in Finland as Eukonkanto. There are different techniques to perform the objective of X. Like, Piggybank, Fireman, Estonian Style.The X World Championships have been held annually in Finland since 1992.

Tales have been passed down from one person to another about a man named Herkko Rosvo-Ronkainen. This man was considered a robber in the late 1800s, lived in a forest, and ran around with his gang of thieves causing harm to the villages. His act post the stealing part is said to have give the sport it’s name X.

The current five time champions of the sport are Taisto Miettenen and Kristiina Happenen.

A 2015 Hindi movie Y somewhat popularised the sport. Although, technically Y is a Sports movie, not many realised that they were watching one because of the unpopular nature of X.

What is the sport X and the movie Y?
