Top 10 List of Unusual Sports
Here is my top 10 List of unusual sports. You probably don't agree, but with such a long list of unusual sports to choose from, no two people would ever pick the same top ten.
- World Gurning Contest - A competition where the ugliest face wins, which would be an easy competition for some, though it is not something that I would be proud of winning
- Chess Boxing - A sport mixing brains and brawn, the ultimate challenge. The winner has to be strong of body and strong of mind.
- Pooh Sticks - A not so sticky event invented by the book character Pooh Bear, which involves racing a stick thrown over a bridge.
- Nude Sports - Why not play sport in clothes? Taking off your clothes to play some sports is not recommended, and watching it being played by some people may not be a good idea either.
- Wife Carrying Festival - You can carry your own wife of someone else's though the obstacle course, and the prize is some beer of course.
- Paper-Scissors-Rock - A World Championships for this decider game! Who would have thought it would grow up like this.
- Running of the Nudes - The free alternative to the bull run, and much more interesting for the spectator but not as gory.
- Extreme Ironing - who said ironing was easy? These extreme sports people take it to the limit, ironing in far out places.
- World Stinging Nettle Challenge - I can understand trying to eat as many eating hot dogs or donuts as you can, but why would anyone want to eat something with the word 'stinging' in it?
- Royal Shrovetide Football - Everyone in town comes out to play this game of football in the streets of Ashbourne in England.
Do you have a suggestion? Another sport to add to the list? Then, contact me.
