Greco-Roman Wrestling

 Greco-Roman Wrestling is a type of wrestling that is practiced all over the world. In 1896 Greco-Roman Wrestling was included in modern Olympic Games and it’s been included in every edition of the summer Olympics held in since 1908. 

Greco-Roman Wrestling two wrestlers are scored for their performance in three two-minute periods, which can be terminated early by pin-fall. In this style of wrestling, it is forbidden to hole below the waist which is the major difference between Greco-Roman Wrestling and Freestyle Wrestling. This rule or restriction results in an emphasis on throws because a wrestler can’t use tricks to take an opponent to ground or avoid throws by hooking or grabbing his opponent’s leg.

Arm drags, headlocks and bear-hugs that are found in Freestyle wrestling are more prominent in Greco-Roman wrestling. Throws are known as suplex are used, in which a wrestler lifts his opponent in a high arch while falling backward on his own neck to a bridge in order to bring his opponent’s shoulders down to the mat. In Greco-Roman Wrestling even on mat the wrestler finds many ways to turn his opponent’s shoulders to the mat for a fall without legs, including techniques called body-lock and gut-wrench.

According to the International Federation of associated Wrestling Styles (FILA) Greco-Roman Wrestling is one of the six main forms of amateur competitive wrestling practices internationally today. The other five forms are : Freestyle Wrestling, Grappling Wrestling, Beach Wrestling, Pankration Athlima, Belt Wrestling.
