USA Wrestler Ellis Coleman Unleashes the "Flying Squirrel"
By Tim Ryan
The acrobatic move you see here is called the “flying squirrel.” It was delivered by American wrestler Ellis Coleman at the quarterfinals of the Grecco-Roman Junior World Championships. Coleman went on to win the match but sadly lost in the semifinals, eventually settling for the bronze medal.
What needs to happen now is for someone in the NFL to apply this maneuver, preferably in the open field but the goal line sounds more realistic. Troy Polamalu is absolutely the man for the job. It would be a pleasing addition to his already impressive “Superfly Snuka” arsenal.
Watching the following replay will likely cause immediate salivating as the thirst for football is immeasurable:
