[Abro1975]

Interesting piece from The New Yorker done at the NCAA's at MSG. Ashnault's face 'featured' as well.

I thought that collection of photos was striking. You can see just what a grueling sport it is just from looking at their faces.

its bit of a misrepresentation though. It makes these athletes look like they have been run over by a truck, in a way which kind of takes it too far.

i saw most of these guys in the tunnel for all american parade and the photos look pretty distorted to me

These photos were taken minutes if not seconds after their matches, showing the extreme physical toll they go through for 7 minutes or longer. No doubt their faces return to their more normal appearance much later.

I almost didn't recognize Anthony. Great work by the photographer capturing just what these guys go through. Still amazed that wrestling made the New Yorker!
