>From "today's" edition of "Der Tag", i. e. 03.02.1934/2012, p. 3, as always online available at

we learn, that 18 wrestlers from a dozen of countries (Bulgaria, Finland, Estonia, Germany, Poland, Yugoslavia, Hungary, Romania, Austria, Ukraine, France, Palestine) are going to wrestle for a golden cup and - more important - for 250,000 Lei. Eighteen wrestlers with a total weight of more than two tons, as we notice from the preannouncement for the fight

the most prominent wrestler among them being apprently the Estonian wrestler Jaan Jaago (1887-1949), the 7-times professional wrestling world champion. He is still a hero in Estonia, the EESTI POST released a special issue stamp a few days ago (see blog). Is one of the medals shown off by Jaan Jaago perhaps from Czernowitz?

Enjoy "The Art of Wrestling in Czernowitz", an event in the twilight between sports and show!
