This is the style seen in College, High-School, and Middle-School events. The US is the only country that wrestles this style.Freestyle Wrestling - One of the two Olympic styles wrestled around the globe. Both Men and Women wrestle freestyle in the US.Greco-Roman (Greco) Wrestling - This style was included in the first Modern Olympic Games in 1896. There are rules against below the waist attacks/defense which results in an emphasis on throws. FRECO - A word made up by Zac Dominguez to help encourage young wrestlers to step outside of traditional Folkstyle and into the Olympic styles of wrestling. ---Show NotesWho inspired Zac along the way?
