Austrian Sumo - Austrian Sumo


[Europe]
Europe tends to have the impression that it is dominated by international sports, but ethnic sports are also popular in various regions. For example, there is Austrian wrestling (Rangeln) in Salzburg, Schwingen in Switzerland, Cumberland wrestling in Scotland, and glima in Iceland. Other examples related to medieval jousting include the boat joust held in Bavaria, Germany (in which two boats stand on the bow of a ship and compete to stab the other with a long spear as they pass each other, knocking him into the river), and the Austrian barrel-bashing (in which two horses ride and compete to smash barrels with a 40cm iron bar).
