The Olympics channel are showing wrestling. it's amazing. And the channel are busy showing all kind of succes stories in Olympic sports - HOWEVER why are the channel never showing Kurt angel and his 1996 win in Atlanta with a broken neck. He faught through a whole tournement with a torn neck - after winning the world championship
I used to dream of becoming a wrestler back when I was just a boy, but not an olympic wrestling, in professional wrestling like wwe is what i like to be during my childhood days
sorry I'm an amateur how can I tell the difference between roman Greek and free style they both look identical to me I always thought of free style as the pro wrestling thing
i'm not really a fan of either style, so i can't explain the intricate differences, but the biggest difference is that in greco-roman you are only allowed to contact your opponent above the waist, but in freestyle you can attack all parts of your opponents body as well as you your legs to sweep and what not.
@@CroMagJohnsonIf I'm not mistaken I believe another key difference is no part of your body other than your feet can touch the mat in greco-roman. So for example, if you go for a single leg, your knee can't touch the ground when crossing the void. At least thats what I learned from Sanda, which I believe uses greco-roman rules.
In Roman Greek you are only allowed to attack the upper body with your hands so it’s basically like judo. But in freestyle wrestling you are allowed to attack the legs also
@@anklepick9524you don’t know anything about judo. Wrestling took a lot from judo as well. Both are grappling sports but judo has centralized names for throws, wrestling does not
No, you can see that he tries to lock his legs. You are not allowed to do that in Greco. It was Freestyle match. There are throws in Freestyle as well.

Correction. He did it with a broken *freakin* neck.
Oh it’s true. It’s darn true.
Best and toughest sport in the world.
And the oldest sport in the world 🤼♂️🤼♀️
Yes!
The ankle pick was my favorite take down in HS and college!😊
@@michaelbodine9240 Such a awesome take down. Low risk move.
And also one of the safest combat sports (I understand none of them are safe safe, but it is still safer than things like MMA)
Wrestling is the hardest and most underated Olympic sport
I wish more people would start to do wrestling around the world
Cubas wrestling team is unmatched!!
Amazing wrestlers, class!!
Starting with Puerto Rico!!!!! Let's goooo
Why is PR its own Country in the Olympics, when the USA won't even recognise it as a State?
If they win enough Gold will they be allowed to Vote?
