World’s Biggest Tug-of-War Ends in DrawDate Posted: 2000-10-13 This year’s contest ended in a draw after the two teams opposing each other failed to move the rope the required two meters to either direction within 30 minutes of tugging. This was also the first time that the event was held on a day other than Oct. 10. From this year, the Sports Day, as well as other Japanese national holidays, will be attached to weekends rather than to fixed days of the month in order to accommodate long weekends. The main venue of the Naha Festival was this year in the New Ameku Urban area for the first time. The area, the former site of a U.S. military Makiminato Housing Area, is designated to become the new center of Naha City. |
