Wrestling is one of the most ancient sport known to have been continuously practised competitively. Introduced into the ancient Olympics in 708 BC, wrestling includes hundreds of styles world-wide today.
There are four main forms of amateur competitive wrestling practised internationally today: Greco-Roman wrestling, freestyle wrestling, judo wrestling and Sambo wrestling. At the first modern Olympics in 1896 and 1900, wrestling was on the programme. Both freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling have been consistently contested at the Olympics since 1920.
Today Russia is the dominant country in wrestling especially in the Greco-Roman style. The United States is close to the Russians in freestyle. Other countries which produce top international wrestlers include Iran, Turkey and Mongolia, and wrestling is the national sport of these three nations.
