Wrestling is a sport played between two players. The player’s unarmed men or women grappling to either subdue the other with a pin or fall or accrue enough points to win. 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, from the very first modern Summer Games wrestling has been held in every Summer Olympics except the 1900 Games and has made a permanent place in the Olympics program. At the Olympic Games, men compete in two disciplines, Greco-Roman and freestyle, while the women’s events are in freestyle only and were organized first time in the 2004 Athens Summer Games. The International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles or the FILA is the international governing body of wrestling.
The Third Modern Olympic Games were held in St. Louis, Missouri in the United States in 1904. The organization began to plan for its own sports activities, informing the Chicago OCOG that the Exposition intended to eclipse the Summer Games unless the games would be moved to St. Louis. Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic movement, gave in. there were 651 athletes took part from 13 countries and maximum number of athletes participated from United States.
In 1904 Games in St. Louis saw the introduction of freestyle wrestling, a faster-paced discipline that permitted the use of the legs to attack and defend above and below the waist. The Americans swept all seven divisions, but then again, there was no foreign competition.
