Schwingfest

Schwingfest! Schwingen, also known as Swiss wrestling is the national sport of Switzerland. The Schwingfest is a huge event that happens every 3 years and is always very well attended. The goal of the sport is to pin your opponent's shoulders to the ground within 30 minutes... it's a lot harder than it sounds. 
I really like VW vans

  Wrestlers wear Schwingerhosen (the diaper looking thing) with belts that are used for grip to swing & pin their opponent's shoulders to the ground. (I took this picture through a pair of binoculars to get a close up)
