Yes, wrestling is currently confirmed for inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. It remains a core Olympic sport with Greco-Roman and freestyle events for both men and women.

Yes, men’s wrestling is a long-standing Olympic event. Both freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling have dedicated men's divisions, with various weight classes contested at each Games.

Freestyle is international and focuses on exposure moves and back control for points. Folkstyle, popular in the US school system, rewards control and riding time. Freestyle allows more dynamic throws, while folkstyle emphasises mat control.

Illegal actions include striking, slamming an opponent intentionally on the head or neck, twisting joints, choking, and using the legs to trip in Greco-Roman. Unsportsmanlike behaviour and excessive passivity are also penalised.

Points are awarded for takedowns, reversals, exposures, and escapes. Control, technique, and danger positions can earn between 1 and 5 points, depending on the action. Penalties and passivity can also shift the score.

Suplexes are not illegal in freestyle wrestling if done safely. However, slamming or landing an opponent on the head or neck with excessive force can be deemed dangerous and result in disqualification or penalties.

Five points are awarded for a high-amplitude throw that starts from the standing position and brings the opponent directly into a danger position, especially with control. It’s the highest single move score in freestyle.

A singlet is the tight, one-piece uniform worn in wrestling. It allows full mobility and prevents opponents from grabbing loose clothing during matches. Each wrestler’s colour indicates their corner—typically red or blue.

The main goal is to pin your opponent’s shoulders to the mat for a win. If a pin isn’t achieved, the wrestler with the most points at the end of the match wins. Technical superiority can also end a match early.

Olympic wrestling matches are two periods of three minutes each, with a 30-second break between them. If a wrestler gains a significant point lead or secures a pin, the match can end early.
