fall

Wrestling is a sport where two competitors aim to force their opponent to the ground or hold them in a specific position for a set amount of time. There are various styles, including belt-and-jacket, catch-hold, and loose styles, with loose styles being common in modern international competition.1

Winning can be achieved through different methods:
* Touch-fall: Forcing the opponent into a specific position, usually on their back, for a brief moment.1
* Pin-fall: Holding the opponent in a specific position for a measurable length of time.1
* Submission: Requiring the opponent to signal defeat.1

A "near-fall" in wrestling typically scores two points and occurs when both shoulders are held near the mat for a specific duration or pinned for a very short time. Greco-Roman wrestling is a style where using the legs for attack or defense is prohibited, and a fall is achieved by pinning both of the opponent's shoulders to the ground.23
