Well done to everyone who entered.
In this Weekly Topic winning Flipnote by Wyatt the weird sport of championship burping takes the gross-out helm.
Pitting three flatulent foes against one another, in creative photo-animated form, each thunderous entry is as impressive as it is disgustingly bizarre!
But who will be the winner?
Why not drop a vote in the comments and make your choice!
Caught in the wrong place, at the wrong moment, a hapless PC finds themself folded and thrown as a competitor in a paper airplane contest in this crafty, weird sports winning entry by CookieEXP.
But with a record breaking distance of over 800 meters, they’ve just darted their way into 1st place!
In this Topic winning entry by lampo, one minor adjustment turns a regular sport into a weird one, and basketball with bowling balls makes its floor crashing debut.
Wow! We sure do hope that’ll buff right out?
Welcome to the super weird sport of competitive screaming, premiering in this ear-piercing Topic winner by cupofone.
Checkout those judges' scores!
