Amateur wrestling

Amateur wrestling is a competitive grappling sport in which athletes use takedowns, holds, and control to score points or secure a fall under regulated rules.

Takedown: A wrestling action that brings an opponent from standing to the mat while establishing control. Takedowns are a primary way wrestlers score and gain control.
Freestyle wrestling: An international wrestling style that permits attacks on the legs and use of the legs in offense and defense. It is one of amateur wrestling's two principal international styles.
Ancient Olympic Games: A series of athletic festivals held in ancient Greece, traditionally beginning in 776 BCE. Wrestling was among the oldest and most prominent events in these games.
Professional wrestling: A staged performance genre that presents simulated wrestling matches as entertainment. Unlike amateur wrestling, its outcomes are scripted rather than decided by athletic competition.
Pin (amateur wrestling): A victory condition in which a wrestler holds an opponent's shoulders against the mat for the required time. A pin ends a match immediately, regardless of the score.
Greco-Roman wrestling: An international wrestling style that prohibits holds below the waist and attacks using the legs. Its upper-body-only rules sharply distinguish it from freestyle.
Modern Olympic Games: An international multisport event revived in 1896 and held regularly since then. Olympic competition helped standardize and publicize modern amateur wrestling.
Judo: A Japanese martial art and Olympic combat sport centered on throws, pins, and submission techniques. Judo shares grappling skills but uses distinct rules and scoring.
Escape (wrestling): A scoring action in which a wrestler moves from a controlled position to a neutral position. Escapes reward a wrestler for breaking an opponent's control.
Collegiate wrestling: The folkstyle wrestling style contested in United States college competition. It is a major amateur style with distinctive control and riding rules.
