Wrestling

Wrestling is a physical combat sport in which two participants attempt to gain control over each other through grappling techniques, which include throws, holds, and locks. Competitors aim to pin their opponent to the mat, which usually constitutes victory in a match. Wrestling can take various forms, including amateur wrestling (often seen in high school and collegiate competitions), professional wrestling (often scripted for entertainment), and various traditional styles practiced in different cultures around the world. The sport emphasizes strength, agility, technique, and strategy, and is often categorized by weight classes to ensure fair competition. Wrestling can be practiced both as an individual sport and as part of team competitions, with various rules and scoring systems depending on the style and level of competition.
