Woman breaks arm during arm-wrestling competition

A 20-year-old woman broke her arm while participating in an arm-wrestling competition at a Young Farmer’s event, The Sun reported.

Close to 800 farmers participated in many challenges like sheep shearing and flower arranging at the Young Farmers' Clubs Northern District Field Day festival.

A paramedic at the scene revealed the unnamed woman's opponent was "very upset" about the incident.

She was given pain relief while waiting for an ambulance.

"She broke her arm while wrestling with another girl. It was a bad break and she was in a lot of pain," paramedic Andrew Dickinson is quoted as saying by The Sun.

Adding, "The other girl realised she had broken her arm and fainted. The team were straight on to her - she was fine."
