A Basic Guide to Wrestling

Official U.S. Olympic Committee Sports Series

This book is the U.S. Olympic Committee's official introduction to wrestling as it is done in the modern Olympics. Chapters cover the history, techniques, and stars of both freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling, the two styles used in international wrestling.

As civilization's oldest sport, wrestling is done all over the world. Each nation has it's own characteristic style. When they come together at the Olympics, wrestlers compete under a set of internationally-standardized rules.

Published in December, 1997, this book is up to date on recent changes that have taken place in the sport.
