- Lot Description
Chris Calle (American, B. 1961) "Olympic Centennial Games - Wrestling" Signed lower right. Mixed Media on Illustration Board.
Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.
This painting originally appeared on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the 32c Freestyle Wrestling Classic Collection Series stamp issued May 2, 1996.
Freestyle wrestling was featured in both the 1904 and 1908 Olympic Games, but in 1912 it was replaced by the Greco-Roman discipline. Not until the 1920 Games, at Antwerp, were athletes able to compete in both forms of wrestling. Internationally, freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling are the two most widely used and accepted wrestling styles. These are the only two styles permitted in annual world championships, as well as in the Olympic Games. Athletes who compete in freestyle wrestling are allowed to use nearly any hold, trip or throw, while the Greco-Roman form is more limited -- these wrestlers may not seize their opponents below the hips or grasp in any way with the legs. Both styles take place on a raised platform with slightly sloping sides. A wrestling bout lasts for nine minutes and is made up of three rounds of three minutes each. Wrestlers score points for effective holds, positions of advantage and near-throws.
