Olympic sport Greco-Roman and freestyle

Wrestling is a combat sport involving grappling-type techniques such as clinch


fighting, throws and takedowns, joint locks, pins and other grappling holds. The sport
can either be theatrical for entertainment (see professional wrestling), or genuinely
competitive and it is of different types[1] like Folkstyle, Freestyle, Greco-Roman, Judo,
Sombo and others. A wrestling bout is a physical competition, between two
(occasionally more) competitors or sparring partners, who attempt to gain and
maintain a superior position. There are a wide range of styles with varying rules with
both traditional historic and modern styles. Wrestling techniques have been
incorporated into other martial arts as well as military hand-to-hand combat systems.
The term wrestling is attested in late Old English,
as wræstlunge (glossing palestram).[2]
