Which wacky sport would you win the Games at?

Didn’t manage to qualify for the Games this year? Don’t worry because there are plenty of others out there with unusual hidden sporting talents.

Which is why Guinness World Records have pulled together the wackiest feats ever achieved in the world of alternative sport.

All British weight lifters can take inspiration from 64 year-old John Evans who holds the 14 year-old record for the Heaviest Car Balanced on the Head (main picture above). Back in May 1999 John from Derbyshire carried a Mini Cooper, weighing 159.6kg (352lb), on his head for more than half a minute.

Everyone knows that Jamaica’s Usain Bolt is the fastest man on two legs, covering 100m in 9.58 seconds, but how would he cope on all fours? In November 2008 Japan’s Kenichi Ito recorded the Fastest 100m on All Fours in an astonishing 18.58 seconds; only 9 seconds longer than Bolt.

The 29 year-old self-proclaimed “monkey enthusiast”, pictured above, from Tokyo has spent years developing a style of running based on the movements of the West African Patas monkey.

Other records include:
