PURPOSE: The aim of present study was to compare notational technical - tactical analysis of XXXII Summer Olympic Games (OG) and 2022 World Championship (WC) freestyle wrestling competitions. METHODS: A total of 293 (103 OG and 190 WC) videos of bouts were watched and analyzed by Dartfish Connect Plus 8.0 match analysis program. Bouts analyzes were performed according to 1) bout analysis preparation, 2) searching and tagging, 3) creating a database, 4) data usage procedures. Wrestling techniques were grouped into take downs and throws (wrestling in standing position), flips and throws (wrestling in parterre position). Diversity, effect and efficiency of techniques are determined in matches. Points according to time and periods, standing and parterre position, winning types, passivity and cautions were determined. There is significant difference between attack and counter-attacks in WC and OG (p<0.05; x2 = 31.689). Type of victories in WC and OG are %63.7 and %73.8 by point, respectively. In first and second period are determined Mean Technical points according wrestling actions (WAmean) 1.74 and 1.76 (t=0.488, Cohen`s d = .031), 1.66 and 1.69 (t=0.567, Cohen`s d = .048) in WC and OG, respectively. The most wrestling techniques are performed in standing position (WC 58.8% and OG 68.2%). Leg Attack is the most commonly used technique in standing position (WC 17.9% and OG 21.8%).
