ANCIENT GREEK WRESTLING

Greek wrestling was a grappling combat sport practiced by the Ancient Greeks.
A wrestler's objective (aim, goal) was to throw his opponent to the ground from a standing position.
A point (or fall) was scored when a wrestler's back or shoulders touched the ground.
Three points were needed to win a match.
Unlike modern wrestling, there were no weight divisions or time limits.
