5. Tug of War
Trending
One of the oldest sports that dates back to 8th century, Tug of War made its appearance in every Olympics from 1900 to 1920. The event was contested by clubs and a country could send more clubs than one in the competition. So a country could win multiple medals if clubs from the same country faced off in finals.
Strangely, Tug of War was part of Olympics athletics programme. Teams consisted of 6 members in 1900, 5 members in 1904, and 8 members from 1908 to 1920. Great Britain won 2 Golds, 2 Silvers and a bronze to emerge the most prolific in Tug of War.
