Abstract

Purpose: to analyse the competitive activity of highly skilled wrestlers at the European Championships 2023. Material and Methods. The following methods were used to solve the research tasks: analysis of scientific and methodological information and the Internet, generalization of best practices, analysis of protocols and videos, method of mathematical statistics. In total, 49 winning bouts (the fight for first and third places and meetings between finalists and third-place athletes) at the 2023 European Greco-Roman Wrestling Championships in Zagreb (Croatia) were analysed. Results: on the basis of the analysis of competitive activity, 10 main technical and tactical actions were allocated, which are most often used by highly skilled Greco-Roman wrestlers: rolling coups - 39 times (36,1 % of all technical and tactical actions); coups by grabbing the arm and head - 4 times (3,7 %); throws with the back belt - 15 times (13,9 %); countermeasures - 3 times (2,8 %); transfer to the floor - 5 times (4,6 %); throws with a turn - 2 times (1,9 %); throws with a deflection - 2 times (1,9 %); dumping - 9 times (8,3 %); pushing out of the mat - 22 times (20,3 %); countermeasures - 7 times (6,5 %). 23,7 % of the analysed fights ended with an early victory for one of the fighters. The largest number of early wins was observed in the 55 kg weight category - 4 (80 % of all fights). There were no early victories in the 67 kg and 87 kg weight categories. The analysis of the effectiveness of the technique showed that high-class wrestlers most often use 2-point technical and tactical actions, then 1-point and 4-point technical and tactical actions. In a large number of fights the result was decided by an assessment for passivity of one of the wrestlers. Conclusions. It is defined that wrestlers of high qualification carry out a greater number of technical and tactical actions in a partner (56,5 %), than in a rack (43,5 %). The most applied technical and tactical action in the floor was a rolling coup, and in a stand - pushing out of the carpet. The least: in the ground - counter-reception, and in the stand - throws with a turn and a deflection. It is noted that the largest number of technical and tactical actions is carried out by wrestlers of light weight categories 55 kg (23 techniques) and 60 kg (15 techniques), and the smallest - by wrestlers of middle weight categories 77 kg (5 techniques) and 87 kg (6 techniques).
