Greek wrestling

Greek wrestling is like playing the game of "Tag" but instead of tagging someone, you try to make them fall down on the ground!

It is a sport where two people try to push each other down without hitting or kicking. Both wrestlers wear special outfits called "tunics" that cover their bodies to protect them from getting hurt.

In Greek wrestling, the goal is to make the other person lose their balance and fall. The wrestler who makes the other person fall down is the winner! They have to use their strength, speed, and balance to beat their opponent.

Greek wrestling is a very old sport and it is a part of Greek history and culture. Greeks used to practice this sport to prepare for battle or to defend themselves. Nowadays, it is still a popular sport and athletes all over the world compete in Greek wrestling tournaments.

So, if you ever see people wrestling like this, you'll know that they are playing the game of "Tag" in a very serious way!
