Wrestling at The 1896 Summer Olympics - Mens Greco-roman

Famous quotes containing the words wrestling, summer and/or mens:

    There are people who think that wrestling is an ignoble sport. Wrestling is not sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque.
    Roland Barthes (1915–1980)

    There is nothing like the fun of having brothers,
    if there is no rivalry.
    There is nothing like the fun of summer rains,
    if there is no mud.
    There is nothing like the fun of gambling,
    if there is no loss.
    Punjabi proverb, trans. by Gurinder Singh Mann.

    Is it that mens frayle eyes, which gaze too bold,
    She may entangle in that golden snare:
    Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599)
