The others being running, jumping, swimming, cycling, rowing, and judo. Does it become less pure if you need equipment? Or just less "greco-roman"...

I might venture that your average Ironman triathlete is hands down a better athletic specimen than the average wrestler. Anyone ever seen that old school greco-roman wrestling on ESPN where they lube themselves up with olive oil and reach into eachother's leather pants as they grapple about?:eek: If that's not gay, then I don't know what is.

Brett, I take it you've never wrestled...

To get an idea of the shape it takes to wrestle, find someone about your weight (with in 2-3 pounds), put them on your shoulders, and sprint all out for 2 minutes, take a 30 sec rest, sprint for 2 more minutes, 30 sec more rest and then another 2 minute sprint. Now do that say 4 times in 3 and a half hours.

Not arguing whether or not triathletes are in great shape (they are), but just letting you know from someone who's "been there done that" with the wrestling.

And oh by the way, we don't grease up and wear leather.

Me in High School:

Skinny, long hair, ripped jeans, metallica tshirt, cigarettes with my peeps between classes. What did they call us? Oh yeah a head-banger. But man our chicks were hot.

Is that considered a sport? If not sorry.
