AIM To breakdown the scoring made by Women’s Wrestling participants during Senior World Championships 2017, held on , , from August 23th & 24th 2017. The present report, made by UWW’s Analytics Manager David López, follows key features from reporting style and wrestlers’ performance descriptors established by Dr. Harold Tünnemann (GER, Wrestling Hall of Fame member) along the last 2 decades. Some new indicators were added to expand the scope of data. METHODS Were analyzed all the 227 bouts held by the 191 competitors representing 44 national teams who took part of the tournament. Tools used for analyzing and describing scoring events were the official videos of the championships and Dartfish Team Pro 9 Video Analysis Software. Were classified all 1066 scoring events awarded with technical points during the tournament, notating the following features:

Type of Scoring Minute when the Scoring value Technical Group Strategic Role Event event was done Technical moves:  Ranging from 1st  1 point Standing moves: All technical  Standing moves to 6th minute  2 points  Leg attacks moves:  Par-terre moves  4 points  Takedowns  Attack  5 points  Throws & Shifts Penalizations:  Counterattack  Step outs  Passivities  Blockages  Cautions  Lost Challenges Par-terre moves:  Turn-overs  Spins  Lifts  Reversals  Blockages

Additionally, total time on mat by wrestler and team were recorded as decimal minutes (example: 20 min 30 sec. equals 20.5 minutes) to normalize wrestlers’ activity by dividing scored and lost points by time spent on mat. 24 charts were created using Office Excel to break down overall scoring average values of all competitors as well as of Top 10 Teams ranked and by every one of the Champions of the 8 weight classes convened.

Highlights

Overall, the technical activity of Women’s Wrestlers showed a constant usage as scoring resource:

 Almost all technical groups were registered at least one single in every one of the 6 min.  Usually, a technical group frequency decreases along second period as high-level wrestlers win by technical superiority. This is the case of Leg Attacks and Spins.  In the other hand, Takedowns frequency significantly increased as the match approached the final minute). Likely these were counterattacks against leg attacks.  Shift & Throws and Turn overs were consistently executed along the 6 minutes of bout.

Highlights

 For both Standing and Par-terre, Attack strategies represented more than 70% of the total scoring.  On standing, leg attacks, shifts & throws and step-outs were used more as attacking resource, while over than 50% of the takedowns were made as counter-offensive moves.  While more than 60% of the turn-overs were made as counter-offensive moves by Men’s Freestyle wrestlers in this tournament, Women showed the opposite trend.  Due to their technical nature, Standing and Par-terre blocks (to hold defensive position against an attacking opponent to retain her/him on danger position) as well as reversals are 100% counter- offensive technical groups. Given its low frequency, these did not change the predominant offensive behavior of women wrestlers.

Highlights

 The difference between points scored per minute on mat (Wrestling Quality or WQ) and Points lost per minute on mat (Defense Stability or neg. WQ) results Efficacy Index. The higher the gap between WQ and neg. WQ, the higher and better efficacy index (Tünnemann, 2016).  As reported by Tünnemann (2016), Champion team JPN had a slightly lower Efficacy index in Championships (1.05pts/m) than 2015 World Championships (1.14pts/m), but their defensive skills were higher this 2017 edition (2017=0.38 neg pts/m, 2015=0.49). Even so, Japan had the best defensive efficacy on both 2015 and 2017 World Championships.  Japan, USA, Canada, China and Nigeria showed higher Wrestling Quality values (over 1.2pts/m). Efficacy Index values of Canada and Nigeria was affected by their Defensive performance (1.04 and 0.95 neg. pts/m).  It is worthy to highlight Belarus, USA, Romania and Nigeria performances, making the Top 10 teams ranking.  Turkey and Sweden teams had negative Efficacy Index values due to offensive performance lower than 0.85 pts/m, which were below their own defensive skills values.  Kazakhstan and Armenia teams scored almost as much as points as they lost during the tournament.

SUMMARY  Technically speaking there are similar trends between Men’s Freestyle and Women’s Wrestling, such as active wrestling minute by minute, technical preferred moves (Leg attacks and Spins), low contribution of Passivities and Cautions to the total scoring, and a constant scoring pace characterizing Gold Medalists.  As past years, Women’s Wrestlers score more points due to 4 points moves than Men’s Freestylers.  Counteroffensive takedowns were seen more during Women’s Wrestling Tournament than Men’s Freestyle.  Women showed less technical diversity in par-terre than Men’s freestyle in this Championships.  Unlike Men’s Freestyle champions, Women’s Wrestling gold medalists scored much more points since the very 1st minute of matches.
