Wrestling
Pinning sport spectacle
Wrestling is a sport or combat technique in which two opponents grapple, attempting to throw or pin each other to the ground.
It ranges from ancient Olympic competition to modern professional entertainment, where scripted drama accompanies athletic performance.
To wrestle with something figuratively is to struggle with a difficult problem or decision: She wrestled with whether to accept the job offer.
