Purpose: The aim of this study is to make technical analysis of 2023 European Wrestling Championship finals.
Method: For this purpose, the video recordings and competition documents of the matchs on the official website of the World Wrestling Association (UWW) were examined and evaluated and recorded by the researcher. The points obtained from the competition, the number and type of technique, warning, objection, passivity and match time information are recorded in the Microsoft Office 2016 Excel document. With the help of this program, the averages and percentages of the data obtained were calculated.
Results and Conclusion: As a result, it was seen that the most technically applied matches in the 2023 European Wrestling Championship were freestyle, women's wrestling and greco-roman style matches, respectively. It is seen that the techniques applied in freestyle and women's wrestling matches are mostly applied standing, while the techniques applied in greco-roman style wrestling matches are mostly applied on the ground. In addition, 80% of freestyle and greco-roman wrestling matches were won with points and 20% with technical superiority. However, it was seen that 70% of women's wrestling competitions were won by points, 10% by technical superiority, 10% by fall, and 10% by forfeit. It was seen that the most applied technique in freestyle wrestling was single-leg takedown (34 times), the most applied technique in greco-roman wrestling was rolling over (23 times), and the most applied technique in women's wrestling was getting bottom position (16 times). It was seen that 57.5% of the techniques performed in freestyle wrestling, 52.6% in greco-roman wrestling and 63.4% in women's wrestling were successful.
