The athletes' gains and the teachings as they committed to them

Salim Barakat Guests of the absurdities. Guests of the luxurious hotel rooms. Guests of the hybrid acid from the crossbreeding of the barren fruits. This is not a description of the wrestlers, but an appreciation — a reliable estimate of the conditions entrusted by the brokers for the bodies, battles without biting, or kicking, or headbutting: The strength of the arms encircling the necks. The strength of the faster wrapping of the opponent with hands that bend him, besieging his being from above and below, with a flowing sweat that mixes in its stream with the bleeding from the veins and the sweat bleeding from the arteries. A fight that forces the wrestler to throw the opponent to the ground, unconscious, defeated, exhausted, with strained muscles unable to endure the struggle. A sugar from the milk of wakefulness after sleep — fear, or sleep in loss, fear, or loss in sleep. A sugar — plant-based; animal-based; human-based.
