Tug of war used to be an Olympic sport

The answer is True.

Explanation

It was contested at every Games between 1900 and 1920, with teams of up to eight pullers, and Great Britain won the most medals. It was dropped as part of the IOC's effort to reduce the number of team events, but the sport still exists today under the Tug of War International Federation.
