Olympic greco highlights 2008

[teebs29]

please excuse my lack of knowledge but what is the diffrence between greco roman, freestyle, and high school wrestling? i am a first year high school wrestler and don't really understand.

[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.

[Flaaatt]

wrestlings only gay if you make it gay

[iAMcooooooool]

Ouch. This sport looks like it fucks up your back pretty good. Look at all that twisting and turning.

[rorank]

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

[rdog657]

Listening to "Ignition" by TobyMac and watching this at the same time...........Fucking badass.

[xachovichi]

kvirkevlia !

[Cramnoj1]

can someone explain the rules of Greco-Roman wrestling

[IZEMAN2028]

@Cramnoj1 no legs.

[samanmm]

@Cramnoj1 basically no techniques that involve grabbing your opponents legs

[MegaXbox360players]

[dashizna786]

@marquismyfriend But its not judo. so they don't need to protect their neck

[Ironman4321wow]

Great song choice to go w/a perfect example of Why Wrestling Is The Toughest Sport~

[marquismyfriend]

[poetsir]

[benpalexander]

This is how MEN fight.

[thesleepingwolfspade]

[pettepa]

[Obsidian1392]

[XiaoLinLong]

Damn, when your finished or pinned in this your just done period.

[RectaRatio1540]

This is insane.

[ellrrrbee]

i love wrestling(:

[TheMrANNA]

I thought Gay Porn is forbidden in Youtube....

[brownchinoguy]

@TheMrANNA

If you call this gay porn then you just admitted to being gay yourself for actually taking the time out of your little pathetic insecure life to search for this "gay" wrestling video. I'd like to see you go one on one with one of these greco-roman guys or another wrestler so we can take turns throwing your ass into a brick wall. Wrestling is only gay if you think of it in a gay way like YOU do. I think of it as a way to smash your head into a mat without going to jail. FAG.

[TheMrANNA]

@brownchinoguy ? i didnt search for the video someone posted i in facebook he wrestles him self and eaven he says that it looks quite gay... watch the southpark episode about wrestling and you will know what i meant =)

don t get so mad my little man loving wrestler :)

[hansul]

@TheMrANNA

This is real RAzzlin'! "sir, take your gay porn out of here"

[TheMrANNA]

@hansul ? SO the so called "real" razzlin IS Gay Porn.. it looks so ... wrong to me =/

[hansul]

@TheMrANNA

Razzlin' is not for sissies who are afraid of manly tocuh, ugh.

[HeFilmsTheClouds]

@hansul After six minutes on the mat with any one of the "queers" in this video that douche would be begging for his life.

[kangal8]

@TheMrANNA If you think this is gay then you obviously are not comfortable with your sexuality or masculenity. This takes a HUGE amount of strength, speed and TALENT way more then sports such as football, baseball, basketball etc. Most of the greatest MMA fighters have a background in greco roman and if you are calling them gay then you've lost what little arguement you had!

[TheMrANNA]

@kangal8 just chill man i respect every sport as long as it s healthy and you don t get fat

i just think it looks a little bit homosexuall to me because of them

wearing this ... why cant they just wear normal shit in every fighting sport they have normal clothes why not the wrestlers ? and i dont know i don t think that if you like it to lay on a sweaty man screming and holding him tight that... doesn t sound That hetero to me....

[kangal8]

@TheMrANNA Well the reason they wear what they do is because its easier to move around and doesnt get caught. It only looks gay if you look at it that way, as ive said if you think it looks gay then your not comfortable with your own masculinity and if people do then they dont respect how tough this sport is. In Cuba they beg to learn this sport for self defence and if you went there and called it gay you would get your face slammed to the floor.

[JHDIII1987]

@kangal8 "In Cuba they beg to learn this sport for self defence."

That's good to hear.

I'm here in the United States of America and I can't find a Wrestling club in South Carolina in the Charleston city area. Poor place, people are scared of sports combat. [Sigh]

[kangal8]

@JHDIII1987 Greco roman over there and other countrys is trated there like boxing, kickboxing, muay tai etc is trated in USA. If got into a fight and then heard the dude an expert in Boxing wouldn't you get scared? well thats what happens with wrestling aswell.

[TheMrANNA]

@kangal8 mann get the fuck over it

it "looks" !!!! just for me (and thousands others) just really gay Okay ???

i dont fucking care about cuba and shit !

[djdoomy]

@TheMrANNA u don't know shit about this sport; if it's gay to you why you're still hanging around, are you gay too or wtf? what sport do you practice, playing with your fingers or jerking off? Stop posting here man we don't give a fuck what do you thing about this sport.

[TheMrANNA]

@djdoomy so ? if you don t give a fuck about my opinion why do keep answering to me =) ?

[TheMrANNA]

@djdoomy so ? if you don t give a fuck about my opinion why do keep answering to me =) ?

[djdoomy]

@TheMrANNA you're spoiling the highlight!

[brownchinoguy]

@TheMrANNA

Okay so you said your friend who is a wrestler posted this video on facebook......obviously you took the time to click the play button to watch this "gay porn" video even if you didn't search it. I think your friend must be a pretty crappy wrestler if he says this wrestling looks gay and i'm sure others would agree.

[TheMrANNA]

@brownchinoguy i thought wrestling looks cooler thats why i clicked it =/

and it does look gay okay

sry but thats just true just ask anybody who doesn t wrestle and is not gay the will agree with me =)

[benni7019]

@TheMrANNA haha everbody must laughing .. Stupid Idiot

[nutnfancyjunky]

im partial to freestyle but there's nothing like a ridiculous greco toss

[jacobski562]

wow very impressive , Im brown belt jiujitsu but I would never dare compete with these guys..

[gspjr222]

@Nychunter true

[NYCHunter]

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

[gspjr222]

@LeeAHHull it's very rare

[LeeAHHull]

Do you get many serious injuries in Greco?

[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

[Gumba237]

my god i love wrestling but now im in taekwondo now idk wat to stay in.

[jkrrr69]

2:05 awesome battle for a point

[elforito100]

just imagine if high school wrestling was this intense..

[InspectorOrca]

These guys are serious men

[hamsterback1231]

WRestling 4 ever

[Niceviddude1]

Wrestling is my LIFE!

[musicalrich1]

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

[MMAfuel]

MMA can learn alot from this sport !  How not to lay and pray

[ariess2019]

@MMAfuel right.......but when you got a man punching you in your face shit changes very quick

[blakenelson089]

How many people had to watch 2:05 more than once

[100tonlifter]

@blakenelson089 Yeah I watched that like 20 times in a row. I was like "DAMN!"

[Tengo148]

I hate it when people say wrestling is gay. Hate it. Burns me to cinders.

[KTK401]

@Tengo148 They are gay for saying it. It is obviously a freudian slip when people say such a stupid thing!

Laugh at them.

[SaucySasquatch]

2:05-2:10

[ljguy300]

1:20 power bomb???

[arcarulez]

1:12 - They trip the referee

[samo38040]

este video me motiva

;)

[verybrutalXD]

@zachhanscom Everyone, look at his only upload..

[djdoomy]

@verybrutalXD the guy is a joke

[KTK401]

@verybrutalXD I know, scary!

[Hakbje]

You got to love all the people that call wrestling gay. Oddly enough, they all have one thing in common... none of them has ever wrestled against a real wrestler. They would get their shit kicked out of them so bad they wouldnt know up and down.

Anyone, get in a round with Alexander Karelin at his greatest. You would be like a little paper doll...

[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.

[zackhanscom]

gotta love the macho music to temper the overwhelming homosexuality on display.

hint: it's not working, you're still a fag.

[KillroyLeague]

@zackhanscom You're just a little bitch who either got beat up by a wrestler, too scared to wrestle, or just suck so you go home and bash something you have no judgement at.

[oistagoimp]

@zackhanscom That comment says more about you than wrestling enthusiasts



[dreknasibiciishere]

@zackhanscom You're just fuckin unsecure about your sexuality and try to acuse everyone to be a fag.

these are great athletes that have done in their life more than you ever will.

[dreknasibiciishere]

@zackhanscom you're just unsecure about your sexuality and acuse everyone to be a fag.

these are great athletes that have done more then you ever will.

wrestling changed my life

btw i can lift 85 kilos (170 pounds) on the bench

an i have 65 kilos(130 pounds)

[KTK401]

@zackhanscom You are obviously a repressed homosexual.

[jaden7754]

@zackhanscom your insecure about your sexuality i see LOL

[DJEnergy53147]

2:06 - 2:08 huh?

[KTK401]

@DJEnergy53147 Manuchar Kvirkelia (in red) Spectacular counter!

[helpopsful]

What is the best weight category to watch this sport in? Im buying my bf surprise tickets to the london olympics, and i wanna get to see some of this!

[metalhead33]

1:22 the guy bites his balls

[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.

[malaspuzvicalnakrpa]

Jesus, they're so fast! No wonder ju jitsu guys hate fighting wrestlers!

[Dillestman]

I just watched the freestyle highlights to the 08 Olympics and this by far looks way more brutal. You get slammed way more in Greco Roman than any other style.

[mmn3489]

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

[luchador1764]

saw some powerbombs in there. nice.

[michalfrydrych]

47 seconds. Can anyone tell me what he did there to move that guys upper body so quickly!

[cccgp1]

@michalfrydrych a basic arm drag with shit loads of power and speed!

[shuck141]

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

[andrescoolmex]

wrestling is the best sport out there!

[Deadshock09]

xd :DDDDD 1:11

[To0t]

how the hell do they land on their neck all day and not get hurt. some of the guy in the video use their neck to break falls

[cccgp1]

@To0t they train there necks using bridging excersises to strengthen and flex there neck

[htownwrestler]

2:06 - 2:10 intense scrambling.

[cccgp1]

@htownwrestler haha that wasnt scrambling the georgian on the bottom is just a freak at escaping the bottom

[HabboTeck]

whos that guy at 46 seconds

[290692Dante]

7 people have been thrown by greco roman wrestler on the street

[lukethecblguy]

:15 probably one of the hardest throws ever

[flooaweeb]

very well done vid

[keithj2222]

sick vid

[MrDepoe13]

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

[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.

[MW2istheBOMB]

Greco wrestling is really cool.

[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

[maxuzeb]

@preppililcholo13 MMA Does

[bulljitsu40]

@preppililcholo13

combat sports in general are the greatest sports in the world, mma is better than greco i think

[fistrules1]

@bulljitsu40 there will be no better sport than Greco roman Buddy =)

[Deecimo97]

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

[bulljitsu40]

@Deecimo97 Mixed martial arts is very much so a sport.

[freshman5000]

@Deecimo97 what kinda since are you making? Rugby was a combination of Gromace(american football) and Soccer and its a sport

[MrAikendoMan]

@bulljitsu40

no art is better than the other, its like sain basket is better tha fottbal, its al a sport!

[charliechapplin]

@preppililcholo13 MMA?

[cccgp1]

there was that 1 armdrag that was insanely fast haha it was soooo good!

[kgboy7]

kyrgyzstan !!!!!!

[tacoslayer117]

what countrey has the red singlet and is in almost all the highlights

[ZoranKornet]

@tacoslayer117

aslanbek khushtov, wrestles for russia in 96kg. or maybe you're asking for manuchar kvirkvelia who wrestles for georgia in 74kg. both are insanely strong.

[Snipermexi]

damn im i nhigh school wrestling and i thought it was tough until i saw this O.O

[idropbombes]

@Snipermexi

[805Diablito]

Dang these guys are beast

[ysr50fan]

at 1.13 the ref go down!! thumbs up if you notice that

[levanrugby]

Kkvirkvelia N 1 ----GEORGIA 4EVER

[ionlyridebmwm5]

@visual1122 if you actually watched this video masterpiece and you still see this as no more than guys grabbing each other, there's something very wrong with your perception skills. @sp10s I couldnt have said it better!

[bladetonko]

insane this people are not humans its like looking a bug fight super human strenght

[rodtorre7]

in freestyle we can grapple legs as well. yeah??

in greeko roman attack above waist

[gramaika]

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

[hansul]

@gramaika

Actually it is the only sport there is, everything else is playing compared to wrestling :)

[sp10s]

@visual1122 Hahah this is the MANLIEST sport known to man. this sport is not for any little puss for the simple reason that it requires brute strength, technique and heart. thats why its a good sport to blend and use for mma, football or basically whatever cuz yeah, thats how good it is. and if you dont like wrestling then why are you lookin at wrestling videos. seriously wtf..

[jnicemvp]

awsome video im doing greco this summer an freestyle so see all wrestlers on the mat

baackyard wrestling club

[jnicemvp]

awsome video im doing greco this summer an freestyle so see all wrestlers on the mat

[onlokker]

Wow I'd so much like to go back to wrestle training...

[X1Punisher2X]

good video

[fluffaduck]

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

[billysue2]

@fluffaduck they train neck strength for sure and how to fall properly but catastrophic accidents still happen rarely,not as much as football though

[djdoomy]

check this one out too /watch?v=3BaR6g6ODPQ

[nicevid2456]

wow best wrestling vid ever

[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

[malau1995]

what about peru shit face the guy went into the best 11 wrestleres

[honkyxadonis]

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

[thanksyounow]

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

[bawbag2112]

personally, i would rather go into an mma stand up fight than this shit what that worst that could happen there? you get punched a few times and put to sleep but here the neck or back could get snapped, scary man sayin that i am starting a wrestling class next week so is it any good in a street fight yeah?

[billysue2]

@bawbag2112 spinal injuries are very rare in wrestling and rarer again in freestyle/collegiate than greco (rare enough in america),i wouldnt be choosing wrestling with streetfighting in mind but elite grapplers are a handful for anyone

[Uzu70]

Amazing, enough said

[Denzel865]

1:21 The best -REAL!- powerbomb and slam

[Denzel865]

It's to bad that the olympics is as high as you can get in wrestling since there no real professional league -signs-

[XazerbaicanX]

azerbaijcan is the best !

[avehombre]

Great compilation!!

[badsssssss]

so in this style of wrestling slamming the opponent on his head is legal?

[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

[badsssssss]

@djdoomy oh wow, cuz i do BJJ for a few years now and i been kickboxing forever and im going to start MMA and i was really impressed with Greco so i was just wondering.

so do u have to pin them like in college or exactly how is the match won?

[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

[badsssssss]

@djdoomy thank you very much i cant wait to start my training

[Sh0rTy224393]

this is a true greco video. who ever made this i give them props. it gets me pumped everytime i watch it. make a sick freestyle one like this one. or another greco ;) haha

[DaJojo2000]

1:58 brutal power

who is that?

[djdoomy]

@DaJojo2000 Manuchar Kvirkvelia

[djdoomy]

man somebody copied this vid
