All the Reasons That I Like Wrestling

By: Diego Clemen


     I like wrestling for many reasons.  First, I like wrestling because I have a lot of friends like Thor and Lars, the coach's sons.  At my wrestling practices I practice cool moves like the Russian throw and the Zeek roll. Wrestling practices are really hard they are two hours long. It sounds long but the time go's by fast!

    The second reason I like wrestling is because of all the big tournaments and medals they have. The thing I like most is the wrestling tournaments they are usually eight hours long but like the practices the time goes by fast, once there was a tournament that took twelve hours to just get there!

     Finally, wrestling matches are the hardest because theres lots of people that have a lot of experience.I have been wrestling since I was fore years old I was pretty good back then thats when I won first place all the time.

Truly, wrestling is one of the best and hardest sports in the world and I love it.
