I gather this youngster is a rising star in the Nadaam Festival wrestling ranks. He towered over his competitors and handily won each match without breaking a sweat. Apparently, he saved the sweating portion for later when he nervously answered questions posed by the reporter.
Tune in tomorrow for new India photos!
