About A.D. 1300 cow herders in the Alps started the sport of Swiss Wrestling. they wore belts around their waists and handkerchiefs around their knees. Since then, the sport has become the most important sport in Switzerland.
The sport is organized by matching wrestlers according to weight, size, and past performance, and later by points.
- 8.50 - 8.75 is a loss
- 9.00 is a draw
- 9.25 - 10.00 is a win
Points are added for rematching and to determine the winners.
A crown of laurel wreaths and accorns is presented to the winner by a beautiful crown girl.
