Ear pull
The ear pull is a traditional Inuit game which tests the competitors' ability to endure pain.〔 In the ear pull, two competitors sit facing each other, their legs straddled and interlocked. A two-foot-long loop of string, similar to a thick, waxed dental floss, is looped behind their ears, connecting right ear to right ear, or left ear to left ear.〔 The competitors then pull upon the opposing ear using their own ear until the cord comes free or the opponent quits from the pain.〔 The game has been omitted from some Arctic sports competitions due to safety concerns and the squeamishness of spectators;〔(Salon Wanderlust | The Inuit Olympics )〕〔(Ear-pull hoopla - CBC Archives )〕 the event can cause bleeding and competitors sometimes require stitches.〔(Eskimo-Indian Olympics Capture Native Traditions : NPR )〕 ==References==
