VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Forget the cycling, fencing, and diving; it’s time to toe-wrestle and kick each other in the shin!
News1130 is taking a look at some of the other sports that are native to England.
Shin-kicking involves two people putting on steel-toed boots. They then (you guessed it!) kick each other’s shins until the other one gives.
Not your cup of tea? How about black pudding throwing?
You take the pig’s blood delicacy, wrap it in a pair of tights and throw it at a tower, trying to knock down Yorkshire puddings.

The world championships take place next month. The reigning champ recently changed his name from Toeminator to Predatoe.
If you just had your pedicure and can’t take part, you could take part in gravy wrestling. It’s pretty self-explanitory, but wrestlers are judged on costumes and entertainment value.
