Sports Beyond Imagination: The World's Weirdest Competitions

Footdoubleball

The sport of football was created in Ukraine in 2007. Its designers included a second ball in the game to add excitement to the conventional rules. The balls remain in play until they land in the goal net, in the goalkeeper's hands, or outside of bounds. Although this sport is far more energetic than traditional soccer, it is not without its difficulties. Referees have their own set of unique issues when refereeing, and spectators find it quite difficult to watch two balls at once.

Goanna Pulling

Goanna Pulling, also known as "Lizard Racing," is a type of tug-of-war in which players use their necks in place of hands. A tug-of-war can only have two participants at a time. When one of the players succeeds in pulling the other across the finish line, victory is proclaimed.
