An unusual competition, "Toes wrestling" - yes, you read that right.

The article describes an unusual annual competition held in England called 'Hrvanje nožnim prstima' (literally 'Fencing with finger tips'), which has been taking place for 50 years. The event was created by a group of hill climbers in Derbyshire with the goal of creating a sport where Britain could excel internationally. Participants fence using their fingertips in the first round, then switch to their left fingers, and in case of a tie, they compete with their right foot. Winners can earn up to £5,000 by pushing their opponent’s foot against a side barrier. The article mentions that the competition is part of a broader trend of international sports events without borders.
