Think alpine sports and you'll probably think of skiing and snowboarding, but there's another alpine sport that doesn't get the same coverage - Alpine Finger Wrestling. The 35th edition of the annual Alpine Finger Wrestling Championships took place in the Bavarian region of Schnaitsee, Germany recently - with a handful of winners across the weight divisions thrilling the highly enthusiastic crowd.
The sport began when the art of finger wrestling was used as a method of settling disputes in the Alps back in the 17th century. But today, in 2012, finger wrestling is a sport in its own right. Well, in Bavaria at least.
