I found this on a Hungarian language news site. sadly I have no idea when this was taken, where it was taken or even who these young ladies are. Still, there's something fascianting about this first picture and i wish i could put my finger on it...

Female Wrestling From Vietnam
Most places in the world have some sort of traditional wrestling and in nearly all of them you get at least some female participation. Even so, I was quite surprised to discover a delightful Youtube rabbit hole recently.
As part of an annual festival some towns in Vietnam lay out a big mat and have a wrestling tourney. Contestants seem to favour one-piece singlets and the bouts are fast paced, with some quite spectacular throws and reversals. It doesn't hurt that many of the contestants are easy on the eyes.

Esto Es Guurerra: Women wrestling
I think this is a Latin American version of Gladiators. Except the women are sexier and they get the girls to wrestle. I'm not entirely happy about the helmets but that's petty.

Freestyle Wrestling Done Right
In theory women's freestyle wrestling ought to be right up my street. It's two fit young women grappling on a mat, after all. I just have a big problem with the horrible singlets the girls have to wear.
This Japanese clip (year unknown) from a bygone wrestling tournament offers a much more pleasing option.

Although now I come to think of it, at the original Olympics the Greeks used to wrestle naked...
This is edited from a longer Youtube clip that I can't seem to find anymore.
