A wrestler is a trained athlete who competes in the sport of wrestling, which involves two competitors attempting to gain control through holds, takedowns, and maneuvers on a mat. Wrestling combines strength, technique, agility, and strategy, often performed barefoot in a designated ring or mat area. There are various styles, such as freestyle, Greco-Roman, and professional wrestling, which blend sport and entertainment. In competitive settings, matches are governed by rules and judged on skill, control, and points scored. Professional wrestling also emphasizes performance, storytelling, and athletic displays, blending athleticism with entertainment.
