Greco-roman — Wrestling

The primary goal is to the opponent by holding both of their shoulders to the mat (a "fall"), which ends the match instantly. Matches can also be won by technical superiority or point accumulation.

Greco-Roman wrestling is a globally practiced amateur sport and a cornerstone of the modern Olympic Games. It is defined by its strict prohibition of holds below the waist, forcing competitors to rely exclusively on upper-body strength and technique. This restriction leads to a specialized style known for high-amplitude throws and intense pummeling for position. Core Rules and Objectives Greco-Roman Wrestling
