The World Toe Wrestling Championships 2015

Fenny Bently a small enclave in Derbyshire, Northern England hosted the very British World Toe Wrestling Championship in June. Toe wrestling began here in 1976 when a group of walkers at the Ye Olde Royal Oak Inn, in Wetton (a village about 12 miles away) set about searching for a game that only the British could win. With a lack of any talent in existing sports, a decision was made to invent a new one. Toe Wrestling is a bit like arm wrestling but with feet. There are two people in each bout and each is the best of three. The contestants start by locking right toes, then left, then right again. There is a men’s and a women’s championship as mixed matches are not allowed. Toe inspections take place prior to the initial heats. Contestants must have their toes thoroughly examined and passed by a qualified nurse before being given clearance to compete, although for some competitors a visit to the chiropodist would certainly be in order post championship. An arena or ‘Toedium’ is where the bouts are staged.
