Impressions from the Appenzell Cantonal Wrestling Festival on Saturday, July 4, 2015, one of the hottest days of the year. (KEYSTONE/Sebastian Schneider) While battling heatstroke, I experienced pure enthusiasm for these wrestlers in their Edelweiss shirts. Even 90-year-olds braved the heat and celebrated losers and winners alike. It's about more than just the sport. It's about tradition.
