Wrestling is one of the original sports of both the ancient and modern Olympics, wrestling features two unarmed men or women grappling to either subdue the other with a pin (or "fall") or accrue enough points to win. At the Olympic Games, men compete in two disciplines, Greco-Roman and freestyle, while the women's events are in freestyle only.
Wrestling is one of the events that have been included in the schedule of the modern Summer Games since 1896, held in Athens. Since then, Summer Games wrestling has been included in every Summer Olympic Games except the 1900 Summer Games and has made a permanent place in the Olympics program.
Wrestling - Match Play Rules
The rules used in Olympic wrestling matches are given below.
Wrestlers face each other one meter apart at the start and go at it for three two-minute periods with 30-second breaks in between. If nobody scores a fall, the athlete capturing two of the three periods wins. The match extends into three-minute overtime if neither wrestler has scored three points. If neither wrestler reaches three points in the overtime, technical points are the first tie-breaker followed by the actual points score.
Wrestlers are expected to force the action, and they receive passivity warnings from the referee if they don't. A wrestler deemed passive is then at the mercy of his more active adversary, who is given the option of putting his opponent in the par terre (on the mat) position, which generally makes it easier to score points.
