Last Man Standing
BURKINA FASO - WRESTLING
The athletes arrive in Nyon, deep into the heart of Burkina Faso and home to about 300 Samo. It's harvest time and the lads are welcomed with some 'special water' that turns out to be a bit stronger than the stuff that comes out of the tap. In just six days, the festival will climax with the biggest Samo wrestling contest of the season, attracting competitors from all over the region. This is the contest our athletes will be taking part in and they are on the team sheet for Nyon.
