Lucha libre (wrestling) is one of the most beloved sports in Mexico, coming a close second to soccer. Men can make a lucrative living of fighting professionally in the ring, but only some forty women fighters or luchadoras have begun to close the gender gap. ‘Sexy Star’, 25, is one of them. Financial support from promotion agencies is little. But stars like Medusa, Amapola and La Nazi are fighting for their place in the ring and society. |
