Senegalese wrestling laamb reality!
Senegalese wrestling laamb reality!
Balla Gaye II” vs. “Tapha Tine”: these names may not mean much to you, yet wrestling fans across Senegal will be glued to their screens when the two fighters go head-to-head on June 2nd. Senegalese wrestling, which combines mysticism with big bucks, is the country's favourite sport.
Senegalese wrestling traditionally took place between villages following the rainy season. After the fights (known as mbapal), the winner won part of the recent harvest or some livestock. A contact sport, wrestlers are allowed to deliver blows. It turned professional in the 1970s, and in the 2000s, the top wrestlers started earning tens of millions of CFAs, the equivalent to tens of thousands of euros.
The rules: the combat area is delimited by a circle, and the first man to have all four limbs touching the ground, to be lying on his back, or to fall out of the circle, loses the fight.
