Greco-Roman Wrestling
Of the countless sports on the market today, wrestling is my favorite.
I like it more than traditional team sports because it is so dynamically
individual. Each wrestler is out to beat himself, to be better than his best.
It's all about the mindset of a wrestler that attracts me, well cute boys
in singlets attract me too, but one can only look for so long. I really like
people who wrestle because they possess incredible tenacity, integrity,
concrete discipline and steel will, but they also have incredible smiles.
I have seen state champion wrestlers nonchalantly walk up to their next
opponents and laugh like old friends. Both know one of them will soon be
beaten but it does not seem to matter all that much. I like that.
Just fyi:

Allright. You caught me. I don't know all that much about Olympic Wrestling
I do watch it when it's Olympics time (well, if I remember). But here's a
cool picture.
