The World's Weirdest Sports by Paul Connolly

In fact let's be honest, downright bizarre sports. But real sports nonetheless. And there's dozens more where these came from, as you'll discover in this witty and oddly compelling round-up of the world's strangest events held in the glorious name of competition.
