I don't know how it managed to hide in plain sight for quite this long, but apparently the sport of wrestling has a hot relative, and it looks like this:
It's called Greco-Roman wrestling, and its most distinctive feature is that the wrestlers aren't allowed to grapple each other below the waist,
That means these athletes have to rely on their upper-body strength to overpower their opponents.
Over in Rio, the wrestlers are duking it out for the gold medal, with Cuba in the lead so far. We have to say, it's pretty captivating stuff.
The sport involves a lot of tossing and throwing as opposed to pinning. So, you know. Do what you will with that information.
What will we do when the games end and we're deprived of... um... these fine displays of athleticism?
I don't want to think about it.

But seriously, look at these guys.
Day 2 of Greco-Roman #wrestling is about to kick off at #Rio2016!

On team USA, we've got Olympic hottie Jesse Thielke representing us. It looks like we're in good hands.
We've also got Ben Provisor, who could literally pick me up and throw me across the room and I wouldn't even be mad.
USA! USA! USA!
I already miss the Olympics.
Also representing USA (and beards) is Robby Smith.
I suddenly feel like purchasing a singlet.
