Some inventions are pretty great, such as creation of the internet, or the flushing of toilet and the wheel and what not everything created looks wierd for the first time . However, there are some other inventions that aren’t quite as useful, such as the sport. although these sports aren’t as useful as the internet is . they cannot be considered as entirely useless as their eccentricities helps to make lots of people's day a little brighter. Here are some weirdest sports being played by the people around the world :

1 .Wife Carrying

Some men around places complain about getting their wives off their backs , but not in this sport , Originated in Sonkajarvi, Finland . In which the task of males is to carry their wives through an obstacle course in competitive race. The couple who wins the race receive the traditional prize of the wife's weight in beer, cash five times her weight and an entry into the World Championship in Finland.

2 .Cheese Rolling

It Originated in Gloucestershire where a large cheese wheel is rolled down a steep hill, and competitors race after it running down the hill after that cheese wheel . The first person to reach the bottom of the hill wins the cheese. It may not sound dangerous, but the steepness of the hill has resulted in several injuries.

3. Underwater Hockey

Field hockey, ice hockey and now. Underwater hockey also known as octopush . This sport is played worldwide and involves two teams trying to push a puck using a stick across the floor of a swimming pool into the opposing team’s goal.

4. Toe Wrestling

Perfectly understood by its name, toe wrestlinginvolves competitors going toe-to-toe. Rules are simple: with socks and shoes off, two competitors interlock their toes and try to "pin" down their opponent's foot.

5.Pillow Fighting

This all-female sport (sorry guys) features 'women who are proud of our strength and not afraid to let loose. We fight with pillows because it lets us be creative, do something different and go a little crazy.' Of course, the Pillow Fight League.

Quidditch

The game, adapted from the mythical broom-flying sport of Harry Potter,began as an intramural sports in my Middlebury College. Players mimic the fictional flying version of the game byholding broomsticks between their legsand attempt to hurl balls through round hoops at opposite ends of the field, much the same as in the book.
