Family thing. Mom was a wrestler.

Besides, that type of “wrestling” is scripted performance, not sport, and Hana had plateaued her interest in Dance.

As for the bullying, I guess she didn’t hear the expression “every knock a boost”, especially in crowd-drawing events.

I remember a US wrestling documentary where some known wrestler talked about one guy coming up with the character “The Sheik” during the Iranian hostage crisis, and generating so much hype by drawing the ire of the wrestling fans, it was good business, and everybody benefited.

It’s sport in the sense that gymnastics is sport or synchronized swimming is sport. But it’s obviously a pantomime of rules-based hand-to-hand combat rather than the real thing, because the outcome is pre-determined. That’s if you believe boxing isn’t fixed.
