Joshua Davis had a dream. He dreamt of being the best. It didn�t really matter what he was the best at, he just wanted to be number one, the big enchilada, to say that he had made it. This is how it began: Josh was driving through the Mojave Desert one day when he saw a sign for the American arm-wrestling championship � all comers welcome. He decided to enter. He came fourth, out of four, but this was enough to secure him a place on Team USA and the chance of a show-down with the �Russian Ripper� at the world championships in Poland (that didn�t end very well either).
But Josh had tasted the dizzy rush of competition and wanted more. And more turned out to be the most outlandish contests in the world � from bull fighting in Spain and backward running in Italy, to sumo wrestling and the World Sauna Championship in Finland.
Joshua�s quest is by turns hilarious, harrowing and a little insane, but it is also inspiring � because, after all, every underdog deserves his day.
