La lutte à St Louis


Fighting in St Louis: introducing the national sport in Senegal, taking over football since the last couple of years: la lutte! Two muscular mountains turn in a circle, four arms catch the air, looking to destabilize the other. The first one whose shoulder touch the ground has lost. Fights take around 1 to 2 minutes but can bring millions to the fighters. Walking on the beach, we saw some youngsters playing/training and they were only too happy to let me take pictures…
