Talk:Greco-Roman wrestling

message: The NY Times article was misinterpreted and wrestling was not eliminated from the Olympics. The Olympics have a core of 25 sports which is constantly in flux in order to stay relevant. When the NYT article was written the IOC decided to shortlist wrestling, not remove it entirely. At the IOC's meeting in Sept. wrestling was added as an additional sport along with two others. My question, is the Olympic status relevant? I updated the article with ref to the IOC's own news briefs but I'm not sure it should even be mentioned.

thread_title: Olympic Status Relevant?

message: Is this a college sport? If not, how do guys get started in it?
: Greco isn't the style that the NCAA uses - that's Collegiate wrestling, and because colleges use collegiate, high schools use a similar style with a few tweaks. The Olympics use freestyle and Greco, though, so the national governing body (USA Wrestling) promotes off-season tournaments in those styles (usually freestyle Saturday and Greco Sunday). Guys start wrestling Greco to improve their balance and upper-body skills, and the ones who are good keep at it. They're not always the same ones who are good at the other two styles.

thread_title: College sport?

message: The text reads: "This form of wrestling was believed to have adapted from the Ancient Greek style of wrestling and to have been practiced mostly by Roman soldiers throughout the empire. In fact, it is derived from a 19th Century French form of show-wrestling popular for its high throws. Real ancient wrestling was quite different; see pankration."
In fact,Pankration and wrestling were separate sports in ancient olympic games. This part of the text isn't exactly pertinent I think. XVA 10:22, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree - it's a common misconception that Greco is the more "pure" style, somehow, because it is closest to the "true" Greek style. I think it's an interesting and relevant fact. Mytildebang 17:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

text: What I'm questioning is the Pankration reference. It is totally irrelevant to the topic since it was a separate sport in the ancient games that actually included blows (punching and kicking).XVA 05:31, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

text: Greek wrestling or Pale would be the correct reference, and it was indeed very different than modern Greco - see the article. It allowed submissions, did not forbid leg holds, etc. Greco has almost nothing to do with Pale. I'm changing it to reflect this and removing the tag as I believe this to be very clear, please continue the discussion if you believe this to somehow be a mistake. FlowWTG 01:27, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Notes 

message: Alphabetical list of nations with "National championship"s. HI IM PETER
(National  champions are listed within each section) :
*Belgium
*Cuba
*Finland: Matti Laakso  
*Norway: Aage Eriksen, Harald Barlie, Tore Hem
*Sweden:
*Russia
*U.S.A.
This incomplete list I have placed here, so that a wikipedian can, in the future, make a seperate "article-stub"  (or a related one).
*Before a stub (as mentioned above) is created, I hope there will be a new(?) "stub-category"   (Greco-Roman wrestling, and possibly seperate categories for some other styles)! I hope to follow up on that, soon.
(If fine wikipedians can not straighten out, any problem as indicated above, then maybe nobody can?)
(Work is in progress!)
