This must be one of the long-promised flashbacks caused by my misspent youth. For surely, that's not a girl pinned beneath that pile of boy flesh. Craning my neck, I blink a few times. Sure enough, it's a girl. Wrestling a boy.
Equality's the name, foolishness the game.
While I was ignoring the sports pages the past few years, girls apparently were developing an interest in wrestling. I can't explain the phenomenon and won't try. Female wrestling becomes an Olympic sport at the Sydney Games in 2000. Which is to say, women's wrestling is here to stay. I'm all for women wrestling.
