Found some old photos of Ben Askren

Ben Askren looks like ancient Greek, that's why he is so good at wrestling. We should check his DNA.
 
If Ben Askren was transported back in time and competed in ancient Greco-Roman wrestling, how would he do?
Methink he'd strangle the shit out of some tiny people.
 
If I’m being honest, I actually kinda feel sorry for TS in a weird way. Fucking internet...

This might not have been TS' intention as:
- 1st and 3rd are Roman portrait sculpture, 2nd might be a Roman copy of a Greek original
- emperor Augustus in Prima Porta type (first pic), that Hellenistic one in the Hermitage possibly depicting Alexander the Great (second pic) and Hadrian's boy lover Antinoos (third pic) do have entirely different hairstyle schemes with entirely different representational significance, intentions and implications
- emperor Augustus is said to have been physically weak and plagued by illnesses, Antinoos was Hadrian's juvenile gay boy lover and it's rather Alexander's father Philip than he who is renowned as wrestler / pankratiast

sorry :)

for Ben Askren hairstyle rather look at Marcus Aurelius btw
 
Askren has a dad bod while Augustus looks like he is carved out of stone.
 
What a coincidence! I also found some pictures of Ben Askren!
