Did you know that wrestling started out as a deadly sport? Ancient Greeks and Romans used it for self-defense. In modern times, amateur wrestling is still powerful and challenging. But training, equipment, rules, and scoring systems make the sport safer for competitors.

• What the different styles of wrestling are and how they’ve changed.
• What some of the top wrestling moves are, including the suplex and fireman’s carry.
• Why Rulon Gardner left his wrestling shoes on the mat at the 2004 Olympic Games.
• How amateur wrestling compares to similar sports in other countries, such as lucha libre and shuai jiao.
