Wrestling

Wrestling is a combat sport involving two competitors who attempt to gain control over each other through various techniques, such as grappling, throws, holds, and pins. The primary objective is to defeat an opponent by pinning them to the mat, scoring points through takedowns or holds, or forcing them to submit. Wrestling can take place in different styles and formats, including Olympic wrestling (freestyle and Greco-Roman), professional wrestling (entertainment-focused with scripted outcomes), and traditional folk wrestling styles found in various cultures.

Wrestling has a rich history and is one of the oldest sports, featured in ancient civilizations and recognized in modern competitive sports. It emphasizes strength, agility, technique, and strategy. Competitions can be organized on various levels, from local amateur events to international competitions such as the Olympics. The sport can be practiced recreationally or professionally, involving extensive training to develop physical conditioning and wrestling skills.
