We can't quite put our finger on it, but there's a certain fascination about Bavarian Finger Wrestling. This is a joint match of teams from Austria and the Tyrol. Bavaria, Germany A lot of hands on a table. The third set of hands leave and two hands are interlocked in a rubber ring with their fingers lock in as they battle it out in a tug o war. MCUS - Two men are dressed in their native lederhosen and hats with feathers. CUS - A woman holding a small boy cheering them on. CUS - Old man with a beard. MCUS - Two younger men have their fingers in the rubber ring and are pulling, they too have on their lederhosen.
