Recall that Greco-Roman wrestling (until the second half of the 1940s it was known in Russia as “French wrestling”, later “classical wrestling”, “sports wrestling in Greco-Roman style”) is a European type of wrestling. Wrestling in which an athlete, through a certain arsenal of technical (technical) actions, tries to unbalance the opponent and press him to the mat with his shoulder blades. In Greco-Roman wrestling, unlike freestyle wrestling, technical actions with the legs (hooks, trips, sweeps) and leg holds are prohibited. Classical wrestling was born in Ancient Greece and developed in the Roman Empire, and the modern, revived form of Greco-Roman wrestling was formed in France in the first half of the 19th century, hence its name until the mid-20th century.
