What makes a sport weird? Sports might seem weird because they combine many sports into one game. Maybe people compete underwater or in other unusual places. Or a sport might take familiar activities such as ironing or objects such as milk cartons and twist them in new or extreme ways.

Sports can be strange in all kinds of ways. From dog surfing to extreme ironing, dive into some of the wackiest sports in the world and find out how they are played, how they were created, and more.

Reviews

Booklist

“Photographs illuminate a majority of the examples, which truly must be seen to be believed, and the work concludes by challenging the reader to consider other possible weird sports.”—Booklist
