Wrestling

Wrestling is a competitive sport that involves grappling techniques such as throws, takedowns, locks, and holds. It can be performed in various styles, including amateur wrestling (freestyle and Greco-Roman), professional wrestling, and traditional or folk wrestling. In amateur wrestling, the objective is to gain control over an opponent and to score points through various maneuvers or to pin the opponent’s shoulders to the mat. Professional wrestling, often characterized by scripted outcomes and theatrical performances, combines athletic skill with storytelling. Wrestling has ancient origins and is practiced worldwide, often featuring in the Olympic Games and various regional and cultural forms.
