Freestyle Wrestling

a type of wrestling based on the positional maneuvering of two athletes, each of whom, using various techniques (holds, throws, turnovers, trips, sweeps, etc.), tries to pin the opponent on their shoulder blades or score more points during the bout. Freestyle wrestling differs from Greco-Roman wrestling by a wide range of techniques involving the use of the legs: leg hooks, sweeps, trips and more.Freestyle wrestling was included in the Olympic Games program in 1904, and for women in 2004.
