On Friday 13 and Saturday 14 June, the Dutch Championship Tugs of Touwenk is in Staphorst. Participants are tiering until they have the blood in their coal shovels

When the muscles acidify and it gets heavy on the 46 -meter ship, the gentlemen sound like they are being tortured. They moan and scream, the red faces have left in uncontrolled grimaces. Then there is the whistle. Profit or loss. For a moment the world collapses or the euphoria has no limits.
