The World Thumb Wrestling Championships

Показать описание
Digits at the ready – Lock’s Inn in Beccles, Suffolk played host to the annual ‘World Thumb Wrestling Championships’ this Saturday.
The "sport" is played in rounds on a wooden board that resembles a wrestling ring.
The contest works in three-minute-long matches against each opponent, who usually never make eye contact but instead stare closely at each other’s thumbs.
There is both a men’s and women’s championship, with the sixty-second matches beginning with the customary chant, and ending when an opponent is pinned for as long as it takes to say the words “One, two, three, four, I win the thumb war!”
The 11th World Thumb Wrestling Championships saw 24 adults and eight children clash in the thumb-to-thumb combat sport.
In the final, the ‘th-umber’ one was yet again Paul ‘Under the Thumb’ Browse for the 4th time in a row. He beat ’The Thumbertaker’.
Meanwhile in the women’s competition Janet Coleman aka ’Nanny Thumb’ beating ’Suzy Thumb’. She’s also Pauls's mother-in-law!
