London, June 30 (ANI): Burton's Paul Beech, otherwise known as Predatoe, won the men's title of the 35th 'World Toe Wrestling Championship' in Derbyshire, while Lisa 'Twinkletoes' Shenton from Ashbourne clinched the women's crown.
Male and female competitors battled in the sports, based on arm-wrestling, at the Bentley Brook Inn in Fenny Bentley.
"We had quite a few new challengers this year - about 20 men and eight ladies," the BBC quoted organiser Wendy Payne as saying.
"They didn't last long, mind you," he added.
The matches that start with the referee shouting 'toes away' involve players locking big toes to try to force their opponent's digit to the floor over three rounds.
Beech, who has won the event seven times, said he would be back to defend his title at next year's competition. (ANI)
