Toe wrestling is an actual sport, the Brits are extraordinarily gifted at it

Here's something you would've never guessed on your own: there's an actual sport called toe wrestling, and those extraordinarily gifted at it get to take part in world championships.

Two such championships were recently held in Derbyshire, England. There was the championship for women and the one for men, but all competitors had to abide by the same rules.

Long story short, they had to carefully wash their feet, take a seat on the ground, clamp their big and second toes around one another's and wrestle until one of them had their nail polish chipped off.

Joking about that last bit, no worries.

Still, all the other things I've said are perfectly true. Check out the video above if you doubt my words.

Apparently, the Brits are extraordinarily gifted at this sport. As one unidentified man puts it, “Toe wrestling is a sport the British are fantastic at, and that no one else can do.”
