Mud wrestling takes center stage at Tartu's student days spring fest
A part of downtown Tartu was converted into a student mud wrestling zone Friday, part of the annual student days spring festival in the university town, Tartu Postimees reported.
The wildest part of the student spring fest started at 9 p.m. on Friday, on Vabaduse pst., near the Turu-hoone building in central Tartu, with hundreds of spectators expected.
Competitions were held in both men's and women's categories, and a limited number of participants entered the arena: 16 men and eight women, with bouts lasting 90 seconds each.
The winners were determined based on a points system.
May Day was, of course, a national holiday, known traditionally as Walpurgis Day, or volbripäev in Estonian.
The big event was live-streamed, and can be re-watched by clicking the video from Tartu Student Days (Tartu Tudengipäevad) YouTube page above.
