loved ones!

THREE-So it

FINGERHAKELN
Fingerhakeln (also: Hagglziegn and Steirisch-Hackelziehen) was an Alpine wrestling hybrid that seems
to have been competed primarily in the Austrian Alps. This unusual grappling
game is sure to be of interest to grip-strength aficionados. The two
competitors would sit across a table from one another in chairs and place one
hand behind their backs. The other arm would be extended across the table with
the middle finger extended. The competitors would then hook each other’s
middle-fingers together and the game commenced.
The object of the game was to extend
your opponent’s middle-finger causing him to lose his grip. Variations of the
game include the fingers hooking a rubber-coated steel loop, or a leather
strap; while some variations demanded that you not merely break your opponent’s
grip but, using only the single finger grip, pull your opponent’s head or body
across a centerline drawn on the table.
Josef Marcher, a native of Kirchdorf
born in 1863, was the foremost champion of this sport in the 19th
century. His success was attributed to his unusually thick fingers.
