What is Tug of War?

Tug of War is a strength-based team sport where two teams of eight pull on opposite ends of a rope. The goal is to pull the opposing team 4 meters. The sport is governed by TWIF under the IOC, following all its rules and regulations. Tug of War is part of the World Games and there is great interest in bringing it back to the Olympic Games.

Club History

We are a newly founded team built on international competition experience. In 2023 and 2024, we began raising awareness of the sport in pilot events, until we decided to establish an official club. Athletes from Rakovník have been competing in this sport for several years — since 2022, they have represented the Czech Republic at international events such as European and World Championships.
