If you liked watching the Commonwealth Games you may be interested in reading about some of the more unusual and strange events in the world of sport.
In The Mad, Mad World of Sport there are some mind-boggling and jaw-dropping stories.
For instance a rugby league player called Ben Czislowski had a pretty sickening head on clash with another player during a game. He got a very nasty wound next to his eye and it wouldn’t heal. Fifteen weeks later the doctors discovered that a tooth from the other player had got buried in there and that’s why it would not heal. Yuk.
Or there is the story of the boxer who knocked himself out. That’s really clever. Or the tennis player who was so nervous that she started her match with seventeen double-faults. It meant her opponent won four games and established a lead without even touching the ball.
There are heaps of interesting stories like this so check it out.
