Editor's Note:
Wrestlers are taking their fights to a more unusual arena as they try to defeat their opponents underwater. Armed with just a mask, flippers and a swimming cap, the wrestlers must try to tear off their rival’s ribbon, which is tied to wrestlers’ ankles and swim to the surface. The unusual sport, called Aquathlon, sees wrestlers dive through rings underwater to start each round. There are three 30 second rounds in which each wrestler must try to remove the colored 20cm-long ribbon from their opponent. Photos: Andrey Nekrasov/ Solent News/CFP
