THE LONGEST WRESTLING MATCH IN OLYMPIC HISTORY!
Imagine stepping onto the mat… and still being there 11 hours and 40 minutes later!
At the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, Martin Klein of Russia and Alfred Asikainen of Finland battled in a Greco-Roman middleweight semifinal that became an absolute war.
⏱️ No time limit.
🤼 No judges’ decision.
💪 The only way to win? Pin your opponent.
After nearly 12 hours of wrestling in the summer heat, Klein finally secured the pin and advanced.
Think you could survive a wrestling match that lasted 11 HOURS AND 40 MINUTES? 😳
Tag a wrestler who thinks they have unlimited cardio!
