Amateur wrestling is a competitive sport where two athletes, known as wrestlers, engage in grappling techniques to gain control over each other. It is governed by specific rules and is often practiced in schools, colleges, and clubs. Wrestlers compete in various weight classes to ensure fair matchups, and the goal is to score points by executing takedowns, escapes, and reversals. This sport is distinct from professional wrestling, which is more entertainment-focused. Amateur wrestling includes styles such as freestyle and Greco-Roman, each with its own set of rules. Competitions can take place at local, national, and international levels, including events like the Olympics.
