1. What is United World Wrestling (UWW)?
United World Wrestling (UWW) is the international governing body for the sport of wrestling. It oversees amateur wrestling disciplines including Freestyle, Greco-roman, Women's Wrestling, Grappling, and Beach Wrestling. UWW sets the global standards for rules, athlete eligibility, and international competitions, including the Olympic Games.
2. How are athletes selected to compete in international competitions?
Athlete selection varies by country but typically involves national trials, qualification tournaments, or selection by national wrestling federations based on rankings and performance. To compete in UWW-sanctioned events, wrestlers must be licensed by their national federation and approved by UWW.
3. Are only men allowed to compete in UWW-sanctioned events?
No. UWW supports and promotes gender equality. Both men and women can compete in their respective divisions. Women's Wrestling is a full Olympic discipline and receives equal recognition, with dedicated weight classes and championships.
4. What attire is required for UWW competitions? Can athletes wear customized gear?
Athletes are required to wear a singlet—a one-piece, form-fitting uniform—that complies with United World Wrestling (UWW) specifications. According to UWW guidelines, singlets must be in clean and proper condition, free from any damage, and must not display offensive or unapproved designs. Each singlet should clearly represent the athlete's country or team, often including elements like the national flag, country code, and sponsor or federation logos. Personal touches such as the athlete's name or nickname may be permitted if they remain within the design parameters outlined by UWW.
Customization is allowed to a reasonable extent, provided the design adheres to UWW's official rules. These include maintaining contrast between red and blue corner colors, avoiding overly distracting graphics, and following logo placement standards. Footwear must be soft-soled and wrestling-specific, with no exposed metal or hard materials.
For teams and federations seeking professionally designed, regulation-compliant singlets, options such as the Rise Sportswear National Elite Series offer a balance of functionality, compliance, and national pride. These singlets are tailored to meet UWW's technical specifications while allowing athletes to represent their countries with distinctive, customized aesthetics. Though not mandatory, high-performance gear that aligns with UWW standards can contribute to both comfort and confidence on the mat.
5. What are the main disciplines governed by UWW?
UWW oversees the following main wrestling styles:
1) Freestyle Wrestling (Men and Women)
Freestyle Wrestling is one of the most popular and widely practiced forms of wrestling under UWW. It is open to both men and women and is featured prominently in the Olympic Games. In this discipline, athletes can use their entire bodies to attack and defend. Unlike Greco-Roman, Freestyle allows the use of legs for both offense and defense—wrestlers can trip, grab legs, and perform techniques that involve lower body control. Points are awarded for takedowns, reversals, exposures (turning an opponent's back to the mat), and control. The objective is to pin the opponent's shoulders to the mat or score more points by the end of the match.
2) Women's Wrestling
Women's Wrestling follows Freestyle rules and is a rapidly growing sport worldwide. It was introduced to the Olympic program in 2004 and has since gained significant global recognition and support. UWW has invested heavily in promoting women's participation, with dedicated weight classes and international competitions at all age levels. The rules, scoring, and match format mirror that of men's Freestyle, ensuring equal competitive standards and opportunities for female athletes.
3) Greco-roman Wrestling (Men Only)
Greco-roman Wrestling is a classical style that focuses solely on upper-body techniques. Athletes are not allowed to use or grab the opponent's legs, making the sport heavily reliant on throws, locks, and leverage above the waist. This style emphasizes strength, posture, and explosive movements, often resulting in dramatic, high-amplitude throws. Greco-Roman is a men-only discipline at the Olympic level and is one of the oldest forms of organized wrestling, tracing its roots back to ancient times.
4) Grappling (Gi and No-gi)
Grappling is a submission-based discipline that incorporates techniques from Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, judo, and wrestling. It comes in two forms: Gi (where athletes wear a traditional uniform) and No-gi (where they wear tight-fitting shorts and rash guards). The primary goal is to submit the opponent using chokes, joint locks, or positional dominance. Points are also awarded for control positions, transitions, and takedowns. Grappling does not involve striking and focuses on ground-based strategy, making it distinct from traditional wrestling disciplines.
5) Beach Wrestling
Beach Wrestling is a fast-paced, simplified version of the sport conducted on sand. It features short rounds, a circular ring, and fewer restrictions, making it highly spectator-friendly and ideal for casual and promotional events. Matches are typically won by takedowns, forcing an opponent out of the ring, or bringing any part of their body (besides the feet) to the sand. Athletes compete barefoot and wear shorts and tops rather than singlets. This discipline is inclusive of men and women and promotes accessibility and participation in outdoor settings.
Each discipline has specific rules, scoring systems, and techniques allowed.
6. How does UWW ensure fair play and athlete safety?
UWW follows World Anti-doping Agency (WADA) guidelines to enforce anti-doping measures. Athletes are subject to drug testing at events and during training. The organization also requires medical checks, proper equipment, and trained referees to ensure a safe competition environment.
7. What rules must athletes follow during matches?
UWW has a comprehensive set of rules covering scoring, conduct, time limits, and illegal moves. Wrestlers score points through takedowns, exposures, reversals, and control. Fouls such as striking, biting, or fleeing the mat can lead to penalties or disqualification. Detailed rulebooks are updated annually and available on the UWW website.
8. What are some of the honors and awards UWW offers?
UWW organizes several prestigious events such as the World Championships, Continental Championships, and the Olympic Games. Medals, trophies, and world rankings are awarded based on performance. UWW also recognizes outstanding contributions to wrestling with awards such as the "Wrestler of the Year," coaching awards, and the Hall of Fame inductions.
9. How can fans follow UWW events?
UWW streams most of its major events live on its official website and YouTube channel. Fans can follow match results, athlete rankings, and upcoming event schedules on [United World Wrestling](https://www.uww.org).
10. Are there opportunities for young wrestlers to compete internationally?
Yes. UWW hosts age-group competitions including U15, Cadet (U17), Junior (U20), and U23 championships. These events serve as developmental platforms and stepping stones to senior-level competition.
11. Can athletes from all countries participate in UWW events?
