A man dressed in traditional clothes tries to pull his opponent over the table at the 40th Alpine Country Cham-
pionships in Fingerhakeln—finger wrestling— in Woernsmuehl, Germany, Thursday. Competitors battled for the
title in this traditional rural sport where the winner has to pull his opponent over a marked line on the table.
Bavarians crown finger wrestling champion
WOERNSMUEHL,
Germany (AP) — Georg
Schoettl’s workout routine
is intense, but it involves just
one finger. That — plus a
high tolerance for pain — is
all he needs to compete in
the unique sport of Finger-
hakeln, or finger wrestling.
Schoettl’s
training
regimen consists of using
his middle finger to lift a
weight and pull a rubber
band over and over again.
The preparation serves the
56-year-old farmer from
southern Germany well
when he arrives at the 40th
Alpine Country Champion-
ship, where he is one of more
than 50 competitors.
Hundreds of people in
traditional Bavarian clothes
come together in a big tent
in the picturesque village of
Woernsmuehl near Miesbach
in Upper Bavaria to drink
beer and watch the crowning
of new champions.
Fingerhakeln is now a
serious competitive sport in
the Alpine region of southern
Germany and neighboring
Austria, but it was originally
used to settle disputes.
In each round, competi-
tors sit on opposite sides of
a solid table cushioned with
leather to soften the impact.
They hook their fingers
through opposite sides of a
small leather loop and wait
for the referee to signal
the start. The winner is
whoever can pull his oppo-
nent across the table first.
Contests usually last just a
few seconds, and dislocated
fingers are common.
