Wrestling at the Olympics
Wrestling is one of the oldest and most widespread sports in human history, with origins dating back thousands of years. It is a martial art and combat sport that involves grappling with an opponent to gain a position of advantage through various techniques and holds.
There are two main Olympic wrestling disciplines:
- Greco-Roman wrestling: Competitors can only use their arms and upper bodies to attack above the waist.
- Freestyle wrestling: A more open form where competitors can use their legs and hold opponents above or below the waist.
The objective in both styles is to either pin the opponent’s shoulders to the mat (called a “fall”) or score the most points through takedowns and reversals within two three-minute periods.
Wrestling has been part of the Olympic Games since ancient times, first contested in 708 BCE.
