HUNDREDS BATTLE FOR JOBS IN BINMAN OLYMPICS

Nearly 500 entrants competed for what are considered plum civil service jobs in Gumi, South Korea, which is suffering a severe economic crisis.
 
Contestants had to sprint with a 20kg bag of rice to show endurance and race against the clock to sweep 100 metres of simulated road.

Kim Hye-ran, 27, told the Austrian Times: "If my husband gets the job our problems are over. I'll open a chicken restaurant next to our house. Street cleaners knock off at four o'clock, so in the evening, he can deliver fried chicken."
 
In another section they had to demonstrate how quickly they can dispose of dog poo using tongs and plastic bags while being cheered on by family members and friends.
