World toe wrestling championships showcase the athlete’s foot

The best sporting events showcase athletes going toe-to-toe in a test of skills and strength. Which might just make the World Toe Wrestling Championships a success, hands down.

According to the Standard, the toe wrestling championship was launched by a British apartment landlord in 1976 in an effort to give his countrymen a new sport in which they could “dominate.”

Sadly, the dream of domination did not even make it through the first year's trials, as a Canadian won the inaugural championship.

But in recent years, the Brits have found themselves back on top with competitors like Paul "Predatoe" Beech for the men and Lisa "Twinkletoes" Shenton for the women.
