Kurash

Kurash è una forma di lotta originario dell'Uzbekistan e praticato sin da tempi antichi. Esso è l'arte uzbeca del wrestling e partecipa ai Giochi Asiatici.

Attualmente vi è la proposta di inserire il Kurash nel Giochi olimpici.

Regole

I concorrenti indossano rispettivamente uno una giacca verde e l'altro una giacca blu e lo scopo è quello di gettare l'altro a terra. Se l'avversario viene proiettato all'indietro viene dichiarata la vittoria, mentre se l'avversario viene gettato su un lato vengono assegnati dei punti. L'azione viene fermata da un arbitro che fa ripartire i due avversari in posizione eretta. I due concorrenti non sono autorizzati ad afferrare i pantaloni dell'avversario ma tuttavia, sono liberi di rimanere attaccati al corpo del contendente.
