This little girl from Serekunda dances during the wrestling matches. Very few girls attended, but almost 100 little boys watched and even emulated the action.


 
The champion circles the crowd in a victory dance - and to collect money - after each triumph.

Wrestling in The Gambia and Senegal is a popular sport with most matches on Saturdays and Sundays - musicians beat drums while each wrestler tries to put the other on his back in the sand.
