An Olympic sport for 20 years. Then someone pulled the plug.

Believe it or not, tug of war was once a genuine Olympic event. From Paris 1900 to Antwerp 1920, teams competed for gold medals by doing exactly what you'd expect: pulling really, really hard.

After the 1920 Games, tug of war disappeared from the Olympic programme. No dramatic farewell. Just one final pull.

Our Olympic Tug of War – We Pulled Out T-shirt commemorates one of the Games' more unexpected former events, with a vintage varsity-style graphic, competing teams and a punchline that's been a century in the making.

For Olympic history buffs, sports trivia obsessives and anyone who appreciates a good sporting exit.

1900–1920. We pulled out.

A souvenir from an Olympic event you missed.
