Knight and defending world jousting champion Phillip Leitch retains his title in medieval-style tournament



Hurtling towards someone on horseback, armed with a 10-foot lance, at speeds of up to 50 kilometres per hour may not be everyone's cup of tea, but that's how eight of the world's best knights spent their weekend.

People dressed in armour on horseback joust in front of a crowd and a green lawn.


About 8,000 people were transported to medieval times at the World Jousting Championships at Warragul in south-eastern Victoria to witness 15th-century-style jousting on a 21st century stage.
