Olympic wrestling
Ancient athletic competition
Olympic wrestling is competitive grappling between two opponents who attempt to pin each other or score points through takedowns, throws, and holds.
The sport comprises two styles: freestyle, where wrestlers may use their legs offensively, and Greco-Roman, which restricts attacks to the upper body.
Matches occur on a circular mat with strict weight classes.
She won bronze in Olympic wrestling at the Paris games.
