UNITED KINGDOM — A woman broke her arm in an arm-wrestling event at the Young Farmers' Clubs Northern District Field Day in Irthington on Saturday.
There were a total of 120 competitions and 15 clubs from the north and west Cumbria regions competing in various challenges.
Some 800 young farmers were at the field day event, which involved competitions from sheep shearing to flower arranging, the BBC reported.
During an arm-wrestling challenge, a 20-year-old woman was taking part with another girl when her arm broke. When her opponent realized what had happened, she reportedly fainted.
Andrew Dickinson, who provided medical help onsite, said it was "a bad break and she was in a lot of pain."
However, the paramedic also reiterated that they made the woman "comfortable and administered the correct treatment" until the ambulance arrived.
The injured woman was taken by the ambulance to Cumberland Infirmary.
Dickinson said the opponent was "very upset" because of what had happened, but added that other than the incident, the "day was fantastic."
