Santas from all over the world lugged their overweight waistlines to this year's 54th World Santa Claus Congress, throwing sacks of presents and firing canon balls in a new physical fitness contest.
The five-discipline event is the latest addition to the three-day conference at the world's oldest amusement park: Bakken, just outside the Danish capital of Copenhagen.
Two teams of St. Nicks -- one from Denmark and the other from the United States, Sweden, Russia, Germany and other countries
-- competed Wednesday for the coveted trophy of Best Santa Team.
The Danish Santas won.
Aside from throwing presents, they also had to master a Christmas obstacle course, ride bumper cars and compete in a horse race game.
