Curicó Wrestling Cup

– Me Wrestle? –

I was so looking forward to wrestling again because it is so much fun, but I was not sure if my shoulder had healed enough. I even brought new wrestling gear just in case. Once I saw the wrestling mat, I was a bit skeptical about wrestling on it as it was made out of foldable vinyl. It may make it easier to use, store, and travel, but it just look dangerous. However, I finally decided not to wrestle because I could still feel an electrical energy going through my shoulder. I am beginning to worry that I tore my shoulder.

– Kids Having Fun –

It was great seeing the little kids flop around on the wrestling mat like fish out of water. A lot of the kids were just laughing and smiling throughout their matches. That is how you know the are are just having fun and are enjoying the sport for the pure fun of it. We often forget how to just have fun playing sports as we get older. Anyways, then the matches got more competitive as the older kids started to wrestle. The intensity was much stronger and the aggression was more elevated.

– The Arm Break –

This story is actually very short. Both wrestlers started strong and they went to the ground very quickly. All of the sudden, you hear a snap and a scream. Just like that the match was over before it had a chance to get started. I believe the material used for the wrestling mat is mainly responsible for the wrestler breaking his arm. As mentioned before, it is one of those foldable vinyl mats. When the wrestler put his hand on the mat and tried to spin away from his opponent, his hand stuck to the mat . He was un able to spin properly and with the added resistance of his opponent, his arm broke under the pressure. Now, that was definitely not fun.
