History of wrestling
When the First Modern Olympic Games held in Athens in 1896, Greco-Roman wrestling was introduced as an Olympic discipline. After not being featured in the 1900 Olympics, sports wrestling was seen again in 1904 in St. Louis; this time in freestyle competition. Since then, Greco-Roman and freestyle wrestling have both been featured (with women's freestyle added in the Summer Olympics of 2004).
Väinö Penttala
He won a silver medal in freestyle wrestling at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp. In 1923 the first freestyle wrestling tournaments took place in Finland. Penttala won the title four times (until 1927).,
