🤼 Fun Facts About Wrestling
Wrestling is one of the oldest sports in the world and was already part of the Olympic Games in ancient Greece. Wrestlers compete on a soft mat and try to pin the other person's shoulders to the mat using strength and technique – no hitting or kicking allowed. There are two Olympic styles: Greco-Roman and freestyle. Wrestlers shake hands before and after every match, because respect for your partner matters most. In practice, kids mostly learn how to fall safely, hold on fairly and look out for each other.
