An unusual neighborhood competition: The one who digs a grave in the shortest possible time wins

An unusual competition took place in Slovenia, organized by the Hungarian Association of Cemetery Managers and Maintainers, aiming to showcase the profession of grave diggers to the public and challenge associated taboos. Thirty-eight participants were divided into 19 pairs, tasked with digging a grave measuring 1.6 meters deep, 2 meters long, and 0.8 meters wide. The winning pair, Róbert Nagy and László Kiss, completed the task in one hour and 21 minutes despite exceptionally dry and hard soil caused by summer heat. Nagy emphasized that speed is crucial in competitions, while actual grave excavation requires precision and shape. The winners received a prize worth approximately 550 euros.
