The Strange Sport of Bavarian Finger Pulling
This strange sport of one finger tug-of-war dates back hundreds of years.
Two competitors sit down facing each other and place one finger into a leather ring.
Once the whistle is blown, each man pulls with all his might.
The winner is determined by which man can pull the other over the halfway mark twice.
This extremely painful sport is now a regulated sporting event in Bavaria and Austria.
