There is a "leg wrestling"



In 1976, in one of the pubs in Derbyshire (UK) hosted the first competition in which the participants were measured by an unusual wrestling. Instead, they used hands feet, or rather, the big toes. Weaving specially toes, contestants tried to put his foot on the floor the opponent's force of leg muscles. The organizers of this competition later undertook many efforts to promote the sport and applied for its inclusion in the Olympic Games of 1997. Unfortunately the participants and fans of this unusual sport, the application was dismissed and the international spread of foot stopped wrestling. By the way, despite the "lack of seriousness", it is quite a traumatic sport - participants often receive stretching of muscles and even fractures of the toes in a fit of passion for sport.
