Tug of war

Another sport with a considerable tradition:

tug of war as a competitive match of strength between two teams

was practiced as early as 500 B.C. by Greek athletes.

It was also considered an ideal physical training

and a perfect workout as basis for many other sports.

Nowadays, while still being a sport of almost unequalled

simplicity in terms of its object and governing rules,

tug of war competitions are staged outdoors and indoors.

The 'pulling' in men's and women's divisions

is classified based on the total body weight of the eight athletes

on each of the two opposing teams,

ensuring that they are evenly matched in that respect.
