The 30 Second Mystery 44 - Where?

There are four categories: Who, What, Where and Why. Some will be easy, some not. I have as many as six clues to help you along, which I'll supply as needed.

Please limit yourself to one guess, and another guess for each clue I supply. No questions asking for help or hints are allowed. Partially correct answers won't be acknowledged.

Wild guesses and comments are fine. In fact, they can add to the mystery and are fun to read.

The Case:
People from around the world attend a series of sporting events, even though they know who will win. The players claim the game is not rigged and the score does vary, but the outcome is always the same.

The Mystery:
Where is the winning team from and what is the sport?

except that there is the occasional dumbass team that doesn't know they're supposed to lose to the Globetrotters, so the Globetrotters HAVE lost before. The outcome wouldn't always be the same.

Same thing with bullfighting - occasionally the bull wins

The score changes. So. . .Torch 1, Runner 0 would seem to indicate a very bad thing

I hope Peetster's OK, this is a very long 30 seconds. He hasn't posted anywhere since he started this thread. Be well!

The winning team is from wherever you want it to be, and the sport is love.

Fishing tournament. Although that would be pretty cool to see the fish win once or twice.
