Do you remember "Over the top"? The Sylvester Stallone classic from the 80s will be brought to life in Gramatneusiedl on April 27. But at a high sporting level - the Austrian championships are coming up.

"The sport of armwrestling is one of the oldest in the world and was already practiced in ancient Egypt," says the homepage of "Armwrestling Austria": "It is also known as "Braun-Schweiger", as it became popular in Braunschweig, Germany, in the 19th century." Got it. And nowadays? Both women and men match each other in different classes. For example, on April 27 at the Austrian championships in Gramatneusiedl. You can register - until April 20 - here.

Good luck then!
