Hundreds of Bavarians Join Fingers in Unusual Annual Wrestling Competition
06:00 GMT 29.08.2017 (Updated: 19:31 GMT 19.10.2022) Fingerhakeln, a traditional finger wrestling competition, kicked off in the Bavarian municipality of Stadl, Germany, on August 27. Watch the strongest men hook their fingers through small leather loops and try to dominate their opponents.
It may sound funny, but finger wrestling is no joke. It is a centuries-old sport practiced by Bavarian men to determine who is strongest.
