The traditional fight called “Lamb” in Wolof, reminiscent of the Greco-Roman struggle, is a popular national sport in Senegal. It has special and very strict rules. Wrestlers train on the beach. They are preparing their future fights. The fightings take place and are presented as a sport and a folk festival, following the African tradition.
