Empire State Golden Arm

when:Nov 2010 (annual)
where:Port Authority Bus Terminal
cost:Entry fee US$25 for amateurs; US$35 for professionals
time:Weigh-in 9.30am; Starts 12.30pm

The toughest of New York's strongmen put their arms on the table to wrestle each other to submission at the Port Authority Bus Terminal for the Empire State Golden Arm Tournament of Champions Final.

The first organised arm-wrestling event was held in 1951 and the World Wrist-Wrestling Championships were even televised for 16 years from 1962. Billed as sports entertainment and public participation events, the "all brawn no brains" image of arm-wrestling is apparently improving.

Alhough anyone can participate in the sport, the Champions Final showcases the strongest of the strong, male and female, and is New York's most prestigious amateur arm-wrestling event. Expect lots of veiny, bulging biceps.
