Around 400 athletes took part in the 35th title fights in Nuremberg. Arm wrestling is fought standing up - on a 1.04 meter high table.
There is a handle on the left and right of the table that you have to hold with your non-fighting hand. The goal is to move the opposing hand onto the pad next to the handle. Institutionalized arm wrestling has existed since 1967, when the World Armwrestling Federation was founded in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
