Olympic-level stick-in-the-mud
That's done in a competition, like 400m hurdles[0] or javelin[1]. For Stick In The Mud the competitor gets placed in a Standard Olympic Mud Puddle to a prescribed depth, then the opposing team tries to pull him out. The number of pullers starts with one, and is increased until the stickler is extracted; the one who needs the larger number of pullers win that round.
