Obsolete Olympics #3: Tug of War Traditional Cache

Obsolete Olympics #3: Tug of War

This series of geocaches honors the summer olympics events which had a limited showing and are no longer a part of the program. There will be medals given out for each cache in the series, and the team with the highest medal count will be the overall winner for the series. All rules of the International Geocaching Olympic Committee apply and will be enforced.

Tug of war was contested as a team event in the Summer Olympics at every Olympiad from 1900 to 1920. Originally the competition was entered by clubs, which meant that one country could win several medals. This happened in 1904, when the United States won all three medals, and in 1908 when the podium was occupied by three British teams.^[1] Sweden was also among the top countries with two medals, one as a member of the mixed team.
