V Catfight

Is Britney Spears really fighting here ? Well, no. The setting would be right, the attire is appropriate, but she ends up singing instead of wrestling.

But the famous Pepsi advertisement is another proof that most people like seeing beautiful women in a combat/fighting situation. Good cast and good filming, they just needed a different writer who dared to choose a catfighting finale !

Women’s freestyle wrestling was featured at the Olympic Games in Beijing last summer. It was a great opportunity for watching some competitive female wrestling in a true sporting environment. The point system used in freestyle wrestling may be a bit tricky to understand for people new to the sport, but the sight of two highly skilled athletes in a competitive bout should not be missed.

The real problem was being able to watch it ! During the Olympic Games the TV coverage was quite poor. The main networks were focusing on more popular sports, including the ones we can see every week on air. It may have been more interesting to focus on sports we can see every four years only !

In some cases it was possible to watch streaming versions of the competitions on the Internet, a simple way to bypass the limits imposed by the small number of channels used by broadcasters. But there were several restrictions imposed by the Olympic Committee, so each country had different sources and a different way to watch our favorite sport. Right now there are no recordings easily available: either you saw it live or… you missed it.

This is Carol Huynh (Canada), winner in the 48Kg category.
