Freestyle wrestling is a sport in which opponents earn points by employing various techniques to show dominance over their opponent. Amongst these techniques, the highest scoring are the 'takedowns', which involve manipulating the opponent in such a way that three 'contact points' on their bodies are forced against the mat. More points are awarded for more technically difficult takedowns. The most difficult involves lifting your opponent over your head, and is rare but quite impressive to watch.
Bonus:
Buvaisar Saitiev of Russia is considered the most accomplished freestyle wrestler. Before each fight he would recite a poem by Boris Pasternak, which discusses themes of modesty and determination. He has now transitioned from wrestling to politics.
