Free style Wrestling
Freestyle wrestling appeared in the 1904 olympic games. The first world championship took place in Helsinki, in 1951
Greco-Roman |
Wrestling's origins go way back in time. In fact when the ancient Games of the Olympiad were born, wrestling was already an ancient game. The sport would return in a similar role when the Olympic Games returned after a 1500-year absence in 1896. Organizers, seeking direct links to ancient times, found a natural in the sport that had enjoyed popularity across much of the ancient world, from Greece, Assyria and Babylon to India, China and Japan. They resurrected Greco-Roman wrestling, a style they believed to be an exact carryover from the Greek and Roman wrestlers of old. Over the years, Europeans have dominated Greco-Roman wrestling. The latest and most impressive example is Russian heavyweight Alexander Karelin. He was looking to become the first man to win four straight gold medals in the sport at the Sydney 2000 Games. Alexander lost to his American opponent Rulon Gardner in the final by a score of 1-0. Considered one of the strongest men ever to compete in the Olympic Games, he specializes in picking up opponents — heavyweight opponents — and tossing them over his head. This one of the different types of wrestling. |
