What is wrestling?

Wrestling is perhaps one of the oldest sports in the world: two people on their own and without tools, each trying to gain the upper hand over the other in a sportive way. Wrestling was already a discipline at the ancient Olympic Games. Women and men wrestle on the mat together and against each other in various weight categories, but always separately.

The wrestling competition will be divided into two genders, three age groups, with ten weight divisions.

The tournament guarantees suspense and fun!
