GARMISCH-PARTENKIRCHEN, GERMANY, AUGUST 3: Youths in traditional bavarian costumes face off for fun in the 55th German finger wrestling championships (in German called Fingerhakeln) on August 3, 2013 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. The sport pits two competitors matched in age and weight who sit at a specifically-designed table across from one another and pull at a small leather band with one finger until one player has pulled the other across. The sport is traditional in Bavaria and Austria and dates back to the 17th century. (Photo by Philipp Guelland/Getty Images)
