You may have given up hope on winning a sports championship or an Olympic medal, but there's still a chance to cement your place in history as the world champion of bog snorkeling, worm charming, pig squealing, fly casting, cake decorating, or pillow fighting! This enormously amusing book surveys all kinds of amazingly eccentric competitions around the world - from extreme ironing and board-gaming to mountain unicycling and lawn-mower racing. Often hilarious photos of the rollicking events accompany brief, entertaining descriptions of the contests, competitors, and rules of the games. Know anyone with a competitive streak? They'll love Bizarre Competitions, and they may just start a training regimen in combat juggling or cheese rolling!
