The Junior National Greco-Roman tournament is over. It is VERY old school wrestling…
It harkens back to the days when Greece and Rome were the powers in the earth. In this style of wrestling, you can only attack the upper body. To win, you have to be able to throw your opponent to the mat. You can’t take his legs our from underneath him. You have to beat him in a “most manly” style.
Big A finished 4-5. Considering this was his first time competing in this style of wrestling and that he was going against some of the best competition in the nation, that is a pretty good record.
The first day, he went 3-1. I started to get a little suspicious. Maybe the best guys in the country weren’t really there. I mean, how could he do that well in his first time?
When I didn’t get match by match updates yesterday, I figured that he was having a tougher time of it.
All in all, he did very well…and he is sore!
