WRESTLING
History reveals that wrestling has always been a very popular sport since ancient times. The origins of wrestling can be traced back 15,000 years through cave drawings in France. The ancient Romans borrowed heavily from Greek wrestling, but eliminated much of its brutality. Early Americans brought a strong wrestling tradition with them when they came from England.

Wrestling is a sport in which one contestant competes with another using different holds and techniques. The motive is to force the shoulders of the opponent against a mat, thus scoring a fall and winning the match. If a wrestler cannot score a fall within the time limit, a winner is determined based on a point-scoring system. All wrestling matches are supervised by referees.

There are different styles of wrestling practiced across the world: amateur wrestling, professional wrestling, exhibition wrestling and frees style wrestling.

An individual match can end in a few seconds if a wrestler is immediately pinned. If no wrestler is pinned, a wrestling match consists of three two-minute periods. To break a tie after three periods, a one-minute sudden-death overtime period occurs, and the first wrestler to score a point wins the match. A second 30-second overtime period is wrestled, if necessary. After shaking hands with the referee and opponent, the wrestlers face each other and start the match standing in the neutral position.

Wrestling is all about control. The main objective is to establish total domination by pinning an opponent’s shoulders to the mat to earn a fall and victory. If no wrestler can pin his opponent, points are awarded to wrestlers as control changes. The wrestler with the most points at the end of a match is the winner.

Equipment in wrestling is minimal. A wrestling uniform is a one-piece singlet, usually red for one team and blue for the other. The shoes are light and heelless and are laced tightly to provide firm support for the ankles. A protective ear guard must be worn anytime wrestling takes place, usually of two main styles: traditional and halo. Wrestlers must also bring a piece of cloth to the match to wipe sweat and blood.
