The Eagan High School "Wildcats" wrestled against the Prior Lake High School "Lakers." They looked like pretzels out there on the wrestling mat but what do I know?
An Arizona State University wrestler won the national championship in his weight class even though he has only one leg. Remarkable.
One of the people he beat complained that he had an unfair advantage because he had more upper body strength for his weight class because he was missing the weight of his absent leg. Pathetic and insensitive.

I was bit by a "foreign travel bug" after my sophomore year in high school. I haven't found a cure for it, nor do I plan to. I visited India for 5 weeks in early 2009 and Europe in July 2009. My family and I spent 1 month in Sweden, Norway and Denmark in July 2010. I'm just back from the foothills of the Himalayan mountains and a wedding in Jaipur, India in January 2012.
Good capture-looks a complex sport to me...
