Do you remember playing thumb wars with friends in elementary school? Well, prepare to get excited as an adult, because an extreme version called toe wrestling exists! The sport goes like this; two same-sex competitors have their toes inspected for… reasons. They then lock their big toes and wrestle to pin their opponent’s foot down. Whoever accomplishes this wins all of the glory and bragging rights. Rumor has is this sport was invented by a bored pub owner in the U.K. who was looking for something interesting for athletes to do than thumb wrestling. All we know is it really brings new meaning to the term “athletes foot!”
