They ask about wrestling and sambo, but the true base is a single, consuming fire in young boys’ eyes, fed by the promise of a way out. For every champion, there are a dozen of us with knees that predict the rain and a silence where our youth should be. My own *thouba*—my medal—gathers dust, while I massage liniment into a shoulder that never truly healed. I would trade all that honour for the years I lost staring at a gym ceiling, learning only how to break and be broken.
