   A total of 128 teams from local enterprises and government institutions in the Junggar Banner took part in the World's Largest Tug Of War Tournament . After more than three hours' competition, a new world record was set, declared Wu Xiaohong, a notary for Guinness World Records.   

    The World's Largest Tug Of War Tournament was organized by the Ordos International Nadam Fair, which had already broken the record for the longest human domino line on 12 August 2010.

    Tug of war, also known as tug o' war, tug war, rope war or rope pulling, is a sport that directly pits two teams against each other in a test of strength.

    The contest of pulling on the rope originates from ancient ceremonies and rituals. The sport is played almost in every country in the world.

   The Tug of War International Federation (TWIF), organises World Championships for nation teams biannually, for both indoor and outdoor contests, and a similar competition for club teams.
