- Wrestling is one of the oldest sports known. Wrestling was considered a gift of Gods and was the most important sport of Ancient Olympic Games dating back to 648 BC. Nearly all nations embrace the two types of wrestling in the Olympics: Greco-Roman and Freestyle.

This form permits tackling, tripping, and leg holds.
