Action From the 2009 UK Thumb Wrestling Championships
UK Thumb Wrestling Championships 2009
This year saw the first ever annual UK Thumb Wrestling Championships which was held at the mecca of Thumb Wrestling, lowestoft in Suffolk on the 1st of August 2009.
UK Thumb Wrestling is a colouful and fun sport
“UK Thumb Wrestling is a fun sport, where competitors are encouraged to glam up their thumbs and choose a ’stage name’ for their thumb before entering into battle”.
The Eventual winners, after some extremely exciting and gruelling rounds, were Thumb-derbird1 [Mens UK Champion] and Mega Becks [Ladies UK Champion]. This years event was awash with talent and the crowd were treated to some real thumb wrestling showmanship and thumb wrestling moves of the highest order.
That such a wealth of thumb wrestling talent was on show meant that each round saw some very close and exciting contests, with most matches going the full 3 rounds distance. With entrants coming from as far as Glasgow we were pleased that the event location proved to be perfect for such a contest, and more pleased that both the competitors and spectators had an enjoyable and memorable day.
We are naturally hoping that this event will increase the awareness of our sport throughout the UK and aim to make next years UK Thumb Wrestling Championships bigger and better than 2009. Both the Mens and Ladies UK Thumb Wrestling Championships have committed themselves to entering the East Anglian Open we are holding at the Geldeston Lock [Norfolk] in December 2009.
