HISTORY

From historical sources we know that in the XVIII century in England was a fight in which the fighters resolved grabs the legs and feet techniques with actions.

In the international arena wrestling came later Greco-Roman (French) struggle. Wrestling is home to Lancashire. She then appeared in the United States. The fight was called (Catch-fight).

In the U.S. freestyle wrestling began to develop in two directions: the actual fighting and professional wrestling. Sport wrestling, cultivated mainly in colleges and universities in the U.S. (in Russia it was called "loosely-American amateur wrestling"). Rules of international wrestling is similar to this type of struggle.

In 1904, wrestling was first included in the Summer Olympic Games in St. Louis (USA). All 42 athletes were from the U.S.. This was due to the U.S. using the right hosts including borbuketch (student, amateur version). Olympic Committee agreed and called the fight freestyle (Free style). However, the Europeans were not familiar with this kind of fight, and therefore none of them dared to take part. Therefore Olympic wrestling tournament was in jeopardy and then Americans have dated a national championship for the Olympics and organized it as an Olympic competition.

At the next extraordinary Olympic Games in 1906 the Greeks preferred the Greco-Roman (classical) fight, removing from arbitrary programs, as it was for them a stranger.

Later wrestling constantly (except for games in 1912 in Stockholm) was a part of the Summer Olympics.

Only from 1904 to 1996, the Americans won at the Olympics 99 Olympic medals - more than any other country at the time. And in 1904 was installed "record" that will never be broken, since wrestlers were only in the U.S. - all the advantages of Olympic medals went to them only.

In 1912, before the start of the Summer Olympics in Stockholm for the first time established the International Union fighters FILA (German Internationaler Ring Verband). Officially, the first (not counting meeting in Sweden) Union Congress met in June 1913 in Berlin. It was attended by delegates from the following countries: the German Empire, the Grand Duchy of Finland, Denmark, Sweden, the Russian Empire, Hungary, Austria, Bohemia (Czech Republic), Great Britain.

In the period from 1904 to 1912, the number of athletes declared in the same weight class in one country is not limited. From 1920 to 1924 in the same weight class allowed to claim a maximum of two athletes from the same country.

In 1920, during the Summer Olympics in Antwerp, the International Olympic Committee recommended the establishment of an independent federation for each sport. And next year at the Olympic Congress in Lausanne was founded International Amateur Wrestling Federation (Russian International Amateur Wrestling Federation, IAWF).

In 1928, Paris hosted the first European Championships. And since 1928, in the weight class, the country can only represent one party. The Olympic tournament is played on the system of leaving.

In 1951 he created the International Federation of the combined styles of fighting (FILA, fr. FILA). The same year, she holds the world championships (FILA Wrestling World Championships).

By the 1980s, the world has been recognized women's wrestling, and finally, in 2004, it was included in the Summer Olympics, becoming the third female Olympic martial arts (judo and taekwondo after). The debut of a new women's sport at the Olympic Games held in Athens in 2004.
