World's Most Disgusting Sports
Pie Eating ContestWould you take underwater swims in the
world's dirtiest ponds? How about picking up
cow crap or eating pie
until you're ready to puke? Kidzworld takes a look at the World's Most Disgusting Sports.
Cow Patty TosserBog Snorkeling
The
World Bog Snorkeling Championships are held every
August in Llanwrtyd Wells, Powys, Wales. Competitors put on a wet suit and a snorkel and plunge into a dirty, wet, slimy, dark bog filled with peat
moss,
sludge,
scorpions, newts and who knows what else. The snorkeler who completes two laps of the 60 yard (55 meter) channel of filth first wins the title.
Cockroach Racing
If you don't enjoy being around hundreds of scurrying cockroaches, then you'll be sure to avoid the
World Championship Cockroach Races which are held each year in Queensland,
Australia. Roach racing events include the sprint and the steeplechase - and thousands of roach lovers show up each year to cheer on their favorite
little bugs.
Cow Patty Tossing
Do you love to pick up cow crap and toss it around a field filled with even more cow crap? Well, you'd be the life of the party at the
World Cow Chip Throwing Contest which takes place each year in a farmer's field in
Beaver, Oklahoma. For some reason, people from around the world take in this opportunity to
toss around poo. The record is held by Leland Searcy who chucked a chip 182 feet, 3 inches in 1979.
Pie Eating
Every year, dozens of
pie eating contests are held around the
United States. The object of this "sport" is simple. Put your hands behind your back and shove your face into a pie and eat it as fast as you can. Keep on
eating until you puke, your bowels cave-in or you pass out. The person who
packs down the most pie is the winner. It's a sport
Fat Bastard would be proud of.
