Wrestling

Wrestling is a physical combat sport involving two competitors who try to gain control over each other through various techniques such as holds, throws, and takedowns. The primary aim is to outmaneuver and subdue the opponent by pinning them to the ground, often defined as holding both their shoulders down for a specified duration. Wrestling can be practiced as both a competitive sport and a form of entertainment, exemplified in professional wrestling events. Historically, it encompasses various styles, including freestyle, Greco-Roman, and folk wrestling, each with specific rules and techniques. Wrestling can be traced back to ancient civilizations and has evolved into a widely popular sport, featuring in global competitions such as the Olympics and national championships. Alongside its competitive nature, wrestling is also known for its emphasis on physical fitness, discipline, and mental toughness.
