History
The first real traces of the development of wrestling date back to the times of the Sumerians, 5000 years ago.There are also many historical and archaeological traces of wrestling in Ancient Egypt. Among them, it is worth mentioning in particular the drawings discovered in the tombs of Beni-Hassan representing 400 couples of wrestlers. These drawings, as well as many other vestiges, witness the existence of corporations of wrestlers in Ancient Egypt, wrestling rules and refereeing codes. During the Ancient Olympic Games, from 708 B.C., wrestling was the decisive discipline of the Pentathlon.

Rupture and restoration

Wrestling in Roman Times was developed on the basis of the legacy of the Etruscans and the restoration of the Greek games. Wrestling was the favorite sport of young aristocrats, soldiers and shepherds. During Middle Ages & Renaissance, wrestling was practiced by the social elite, in castles and palaces. The attempts made to restore the Olympic Games were numerous, but it was not until 1896 that they were re-established by Baron Pierre de Coubertin. After the creation of the International Olympic Committee in 1894, the development of new international sport federations and Olympic committees were accelerated. The first Olympic Congress took place in 1894 at « la Sorbonne » and decided of the ten sports that would be part of the Olympic program: athletics, wrestling, rowing, cycling, fencing, gymnastics, weightlifting, swimming, shooting and tennis. During the wrestling tournament in Athens, there were no weight categories and all five competitors wrestled under rules similar to those of the professional Greco-Roman wrestling.

Professional Wrestling

Professional wrestling began in France around 1830. Wrestlers who had no access to the wrestling elite, formed troupes that travelled around France showing their talent. The French influence extended to the Austrian Hungarian Empire, to Italy, to Denmark and to Russia and the new style circulated under the name of Greco-Roman wrestling, classic wrestling or French wrestling. Professional wrestling matches were thus organized everywhere in Europe with variable programs and competition rules according to the taste of wrestlers, of managers and of the audience. At the end of the 19th century, professional wrestling was the most in vogue sport in Europe, but it started to degrade from 1900 because of the pre-arranged matches, the announcement of forgery, false victories and false nationalities of the competitors. The rediscovery of Olympic amateurism encouraged the creation of numerous clubs and schools that finished professional wrestling off. However, from a historical point of view, professional wrestling has its indisputable merits. Competitions contributed to making wrestling more popular, the physical aspect of wrestlers served as a model to young men and the training system allowed amateur wrestling clubs to rapidly become more structured.

Modern Olympic Wrestling

In 1904, freestyle wrestling was first introduced during the St. Louis Games and was only disputed by American wrestlers. It was only during the fourth Olympic Games held in London in 1908 that competitions were organized for both styles. A hundred years after the introduction of freestyle wrestling in the Olympic program, worldwide wrestling entered a new era with the acknowledgement of female wrestling as an Olympic discipline on the occasion of the Athens Games in 2004. This decision is part of the policy of the IOC that aims at establishing equality in sport, and legitimized the efforts made by FILA to sustain the development of female wrestling since the end of the 80s.

History of Indian Wrestling

In Ramayana Wali – Sugriv’s fights and in Mahabharata Bheem – Jarasandh & Krushna – Chaanu’s fights are still known buy us. Lord Hanuman is Adorable to every Wrestler from India. When we lived in under the fluence of different kingdoms; Prince of those particular kingdoms were taught, “How to play wrestling?” in their childhood. Our kings were the patrons for the art of wrestling and for common wrestlers too. Those wrestlers were fought for the pride of their Kingdome. India / Maharashtra have been in the forefront in promoting the game of wrestling. The first ever individual Olympic medal won by wrestler Late. Khashaba Jadhav at Helsinki in 1952, was a humble gift from him to the nation. It was the only medal for India in any individual sports in Olympic from 1896 to 1996.
