Young Farmers Tug of War New Zealand Style

How's This for a tug of war Competition held in China 2008

A special rope was made for the competition, weighing three tons and spanning 1,000 meters. The producer, a cable factory in Jiangsu Province, adopted up-to-the-minute polypropylene materials for its production. The rope has gone through a ten-step testing process; it can sustain a 200-ton pulling force, which qualifies it for a tug of war competition between 20,000 participants.

I struggle to find eight pullers
