Wrestling

A BRIEF HISTORY OF WRESTLING

Wrestling dates back to prehistoric times and is considered the world’s oldest and purest sport. In French caves, there are drawings reported to be 15,000 to 20,000 years old depicting wrestlers in various holds and leverage positions.· Wrestling was introduced to the Olympic Games in Greece about 708 BC. The Greek philosopher Plato was an accomplished wrestler. Native Americans wrestled for sport long before the first Europeans arrived. Nine of our Presidents were wrestlers. Washington and Lincoln were considered to be excellent at the sport, both holding various championship titles. Others were Jackson, Taylor, Grant, Arthur, Taft, T. Roosevelt, and Coolidge.
