THE TOUGHEST SIX MINUTES OF YOUR LIFE

WRESTLING is one of the toughest sports on earth, according to Team Australia representative Carissa Holland.

The sport which features moves such as grapples, holds, throws and pins will captivate spectators at Carrara Sports and Leisure Centre from April 12 to 14.

“It is a very physically demanding sport,” Holland said.

“It only goes for six minutes but those six minutes are the toughest of your life.

“You think about the different components of fitness – what does wrestling include? It includes all of them.

“You need to have agility, you need to have power, you need to have strength, you need to have coordination and speed.”

After being selected for her second Games team, Holland is determined to win a GC2018 medal.

“This time I know what to expect, I’m confident, I’m ready and I am not leaving without a medal,” she said.
