Competitors face off during the 64th German finger-wrestling championships (called “Fingerhakeln” in German) on April 27, 2025 in Rosenheim, Germany. The sport pits two competitors matched in age and weight who sit across a table from each other and pull on a small leather band with one finger until one player has pulled the other across. The traditional sport dates back to the 17th century in Bavaria and Austria.Author: Alan Taylor. Source
