Olympic greco highlights 2008

[@wrestle4life234]

Probably the best highlight I've ever seen.

[@jadeshon25]

I barely started this year and i love it!!!! Especially Greco-Roman so much fun!!!!!

[@chade1983]

The most technical and impressive sequence is the two guys at about 2:07. It happens so fast you have to rewind it and watch it 3-4 times just to see what happened and how. Amazing skills by both men. Just an amazing video. I wish I could have seen this stuff when I was still active. Great vid to show people what well executed moves should look like.

[@meheffe]

AWESOME!!!!! thanks for putting this together. i got goose bumps!!!

[@twilday]

I started wrestling at 9 years old and wrestled until I was 28. I have 6 Greco Roman NYS Championships, a 3 finishes in the top 6 at Nationals. The most severe injury I've had is a dislocated ankle. Learning how to fall is one of the most important things to learn.

[@barber215]

this is a great video my friend. keep posting them. cant wait for the 2012 olympics!

[@preppililcholo13]

this video just goes to show you that there is no greater sport in the world than wrestling. just watching these guy's show the strength, power, and training that is put into these sport and no other sport can compete with it

[@MrDepoe13]

That arm wizzer at 1:16 was the sweetest throw i've ever seen!!

[@Cyge240sx]

i can get excited about greco every 4 years :)

[@honkyxadonis]

first time i have watched any competitive wrestling.... its insane how strong these guys are... hell of a sport

[@avehombre]

Great compilation!!

[@TonyMon16]

wow, some of those moves lok like the stuff they do in pro wrestling (wwe),i always thought that stuff was impossible againts a "real" opponent. Im amazed, at the skill. They like gymnats, weightlifters, and fighters all rolled in to one super athlete!

[@riconater7]

this is a good vid whoever put this together

[@BravaCanto]

if you notice that when you do a suplex or lift they get the opponent tight to their body as they can...then they use technbique and a quick snap of power and as soon as the opponent is over far enough they turn quickly...basically technique and core strength

[@pcjudosambo]

Greco-Roman wrestling is my favorite wrestling style. So technical, so hard and extremely beautiful to watch. Those high amplitude throws, the upper body control and strength of these wrestlers is amazing to watch. IOC should be ashamed of themselves for removing Greco and Freestyle from Olympics.

[@VinnyMaldy]

Great video!

[@RevTriangle]

Got my Olympic tickets, can't wait

[@sdr90137]

This has got to be the hardest sport in the world

[@zxkjr]

man i love jiu jitsu but wrestling got some really nice moves too - amazing how fast and strong these guys are

[@djdoomy]

@badsssssss the purpose is to put the opponent on his back. if he lands on his head it's his problem. many times the guy who gets pinned will try to stand on his head to get his shoulders off the mat

[@pettepa]

Great video

[@mikel2187]

Now these are real athletes! the explosive power on these guys is ridiculas!

[@Niceviddude1]

Wrestling is my LIFE!

[@NYCHunter]

when you mix Greco with BJJ the combination is almost unstoppable!

[@Uzu70]

Amazing, enough said

[@kevinjuarez7500]

Greco looks really fun

[@williamb57]

@mijitman926 in highschool you can't slam opponents or lock hands around the body when you're on top, freestyle is basically the same except you can lock hands around the body. and in greco you basically just can't touch the legs, only the waist up. sorry had to correct that, you had it backwards.

[@flooaweeb]

very well done vid

[@clearcombat]

I have blended this style of wrestling into my martial art system called Clear Combat. We are kick boxers with Judo Greco/Roman, Free Style grappling and submissions.

[@andrescoolmex]

wrestling is the best sport out there!

[@djdoomy]

@badsssssss same rules as in freestyle wrestling, but you can't attack the legs or trip or defend with the legs. you win the match by pin like you said, by technical superiority, or by decision. there are 3 two minutes rounds. good luck

[@MW2istheBOMB]

Greco wrestling is really cool.

[@NYCHunter]

There are more injuries in free style wrestling. The injuries that due occur in Greco mainly come from being driven into the mat.

[@GingerMeProductions]

The little battle between the two wrestlers at 2:06 is frickin crazy. Its hard to watch what is happening

[@shuck141]

@michalfrydrych ... he did an "Arm Drag", a great one at that

[@asadhasanov3573]

42 - Rovshan Bayramov world champion 2011 and 2 time olympic silver medalist 2008 and 2012

[@RectaRatio1540]

This is insane.

[@sonsjon]

GREAT video!!! Terrible music, but that isn't the point.... Awesome work, and awesome moves!

[@805Diablito]

Dang these guys are beast

[@jaydendean2442]

It looks like. Magnificent. fireman cluttered What do you think? !!!

[@keithj2222]

sick vid

[@propsforlife]

@WrestlingNorbee no, your lift is from your legs not your arms

[@XxtheThrasherxX]

These guys are badass

[@1988170303]

manuchar name in training is metal hehheeh he is just metal amazing power amazing heart great guy.CHAMPION...

[@MrDepoe13]

@Amanswag That's a bigger contradiction than the starburst commercials. Haha.

[@KTK401]

@DJEnergy53147 Manuchar Kvirkelia (in red) Spectacular counter!

[@rorank]

@iAMcooooooool It can if you're not flexible enough. That's probably the most important part of greco wrestling.

[@TheSecondRush]

@RPThizz no...its actually the main way they score points

[@OiMourna]

@Hakbje you didn't have to mention the greatest. Even Victor Zangief would straighten some of those ultra-bad cage-fighters and/or boxers.

[@Unb3arablePain]

how come they dont show this on tv instead of diving and gymnastics...

[@propsforlife]

katatonia - my twin

[@MrElephantWand]

just watched olympic freestyle wrestling before this. are there a lot more injuries in Greco? It seems rougher with more opportunity for limbs to go in ways they aren't supposed to go? please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@samanmm]

@Cramnoj1 basically no techniques that involve grabbing your opponents legs

[@djdoomy]

@TheMrANNA you're spoiling the highlight!

[@EFREN517YUGIHO]

amo este deporte

[@TheCrumpers53]

People that think this is gay are the people who suck at athletics. This is one of the hardest sports in the world. Next to MMA, Gymnastics, and boxing.

[@mmn3489]

i can't wait to do greco then freestyle and back to folk ima be soo beast!

[@turkishjiujitsu]

Wauw there incredible love to see them in MMA

[@InspectorOrca]

These guys are serious men

[@HunterHybrid]

Katatonia - My Twin

[@jkrrr69]

2:05 awesome battle for a point

[@thesleepingwolfspade]

damn idek u could powerbomb in wrestling but im a highschool wrestler and we dont do roman grecko anymore at my school so is the match over when a person gets slammed or somthing?

[@Tstrat42]

DAMN. They are like a bunch of angry spiders trying to kill each other.

[@suplay555]

0:47 sick drag by

[@gmadman7]

This is awesome. I'm going to do this when I start high school. @relmquist, The olympics had this removed!!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!!!

[@UsualSuspectLad]

How_V3ryAwful. Started yet?

[@baprejmer]

I don't see the point of those fights..but it is definetly fun to watch

[@johndavisiii9996]

***NICE!!!***

[@TheLocotepro]

im in the spring valley highschool wrestling team. brock lesnar trains there wiht the team. we are the southwest champions 2008 2009 and 2010

[@vili521]

mannisen vili, korson vedosta. bayramov on mun lemppari:D

[@thanksyounow]

@honkyxadonis The form of wrestling is new to me also. Only a passing interest.

[@djdoomy]

of course

[@jacksoncockle]

thumbs up if your gonna watch wrestling in 2012

[@punisher00109]

how is this not a popular sport. so much more entertaining than boring ass baseball and fucking football

[@rorank]

@teebs29 High school wrestling, you can't slam your opponent. Other than that it's exactly the same as olympic and pro freestyle. Greco roman, you can't use the legs in a takedown. No tripping in Greco Roman.

[@thesleepingwolfspade]

do any high schools do roman grecko anymore because mine doesn't

[@djdoomy]

WHERE ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2012?????

[@musicalrich1]

This is good wrestling! The techniques emphasize balance, agility, flexibility, not mere brute strength...

[@Morgorath30]

what's the difference from folk style wrestling. is it just more throws and more upper body?

[@riconater7]

katatonia-my twin..good song right? lol

[@lenistumpe2547]

Laut der Damen und Herren der IOC Executive zu langweilig, dass ich nicht lache!!! Lasst das nicht zu, dass die Gladiatoren der Antike ihrer Arena ab 2020 verwiesen werden. Votet wo immer es geht pro Ringen.

[@LeeAHHull]

Do you get many serious injuries in Greco?

[@CathaterW]

I started wrestling this year and I understand the greco roman is more upper body and throws, but I still don't quite understand the rules of freestyle wrestling or greco roman. can someone message me the rules because I really want to get into wrestling and be able to understand it.

[@fluffaduck]

Do these athletes also train how not to get their necks broken?

[@spawn11]

in freestyle we can grapple legs as well. yeah?? in greeko roman attack above waist

[@AliTheMan6801]

omg this is awesome this goes to show you the wwe actually gets their fake moves from real wrestling, but these guys do it for reals cuz the other guy isn't standing still he is actually fighting hard.

[@xachovichi]

kvirkevlia !

[@Deecimo97]

@bulljitsu40 but mma is not actually a sport, its a combination of many other sports.

[@propsforlife]

@larscomedy katatonia - my twin

[@relmquist]

Why would they take such a glorious sport out of the Olympics

[@vAirMiles]

GOT TICKETS FOR 55 & 74KG 2012 FINALS AT LONDON OLYMPICS!!!!!!!!!!!

[@gramaika]

mostly it is won by Georgia. And yes it is the most difficult sport. Power flexibility strength durability reaction.

[@WinterExtra]

Nice

[@wrestle4life234]

:50 That was the NASTIEST arm drag ever.

[@jondoe1646]

You don't think I know that? I never said that wrestling was boring at all, I just prefer wrestling if people are punching and elbowing each other in the faces.

[@WILD4X4D]

It makes me sad to see the Olympic committee talk about replacing this sport with professional pole dancing, and not the erotic kind

[@hamsterback1231]

WRestling 4 ever

[@punisher00109]

@zackhanscom yet the one and only video on your channel is "barbie girl lip synch"

[@Morcinus6]

1:21 - Pro-wrestling powerbomb

[@Brottning001]

megagood!!

[@HarisFazlicRMIT]
