Good story about tug-of-war’s history at the Olympics. According to this story, it was taken off the program after the 1920 Olympics because the IOC thought there were too many sports in the Games and they wanted to streamline things.

Sorry I have never found the ability to see the Latvia games. I assume you might be referring to the two vs Denmark. Sadly Denmark is another i have not found yet. However honestly i looked for Denmark far less then i did Latvia.
What's wrong with tug-of-war in theory? It's a team based strength competition, something you don't see on the program.
Of course, way too few nations actually participate (only 25 total nations are competing at the 2024 World Championships) so it won't be added any time soon
Not a good sign for Great Britain in the 2nd tuneup of the day.
Can't get any details on this one but Cardiff 5 Great Britain 0 !
Four final tuneups tomorrow for these 6 national teams
Austria vs Slovenia
Norway vs France
Belfast vs Great Britain
Pirati Chomutov vs Kazakhstan
After the above games all that remains is
Ukraine vs Hungary 1 game
Denmark vs Latvia a pair of games
