Stock Photo - 17 July 2022, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Horben: Simon Hug, tug-of-war member of the TC Feuerstein-Horben, pulls on a rope as the so-called ""anchor man"" during a competition. The ""anchor man"" is the last man on the team and loops the rope over his back, which is protected by a leather pad. According to the German Turf Sports and Tug-of-War Association (DRTV), there are about 600 to 700 active tug-of-war athletes nationwide, most of them in the south. Tug-of-war is considered one of the oldest sports of all: murals depicting boys' teams pulling on a rope are known as far back as ancient Egypt.
