Research On The Technique Application Of Shaanxi Province Outstanding Freestyle Wrestling Athletes In The 12th National Games

Purpose of study:Freestyle Wrestling Team of Shaanxi Province is a strong developing athletic team in Shaanxi. This team has provided a host of master-class athletes including Ge Zhen and Jing Ruixue, who won the Gold Medals in National Championship; Zhang Qiangbo and Jing Ruixue, who for several times took the championships on National Tournaments; Ren Qinceng, the excellent freestyle wrestler who won national champion for 5 times; and Jing Ruixue, the silver medal winner of 63 kg Class on London Olympic Games 2012. On the 12 th National Games of China, Shaanxi Province Men’s Freestyle Wrestling Team got another Silver Medal, which is the best achievement of Shaanxi Province Men’s Freestyle Wrestling Team in recent years. Though players in Shaanxi Province Men’s Freestyle Wrestling Team still have the capability to win medals, there is a gap when compared to strong wrestling teams such as teams of Inner Mongolia, Beijing and Shandong. Therefore we still need to study the technique applications and levels of Shaanxi Province Freestyle Wrestling Team, aiming to find out the shortcomings of Shaanxi Province Men’s Freestyle Wrestling Team in applying their techniques in games, so as to enhance the capabilities of Shaanxi athletes on winning medals in competitions.Studying Methods:By using video observation and statistics, we gathered data and compared all the freestyle wrestling men players of Shaanxi Province and their rivals in the 12 th National Games of China(including preliminaries and finals) on their technique applications, and by the Literature Material Law and Expert Interview Law we analyzed technique applications of Shaanxi athletes. We analyzed the existing problems of Shaanxi athletes on the level of technique application and discovered the gap between Shaanxi athletes and athletes of other provinces on their abilities of using techniques in games, and provided data references for Shaanxi Province Men’s Freestyle Wrestling Team to achieve better results in future games and made recommendations on issues found.Results: 1.In the hot contest of freestyle wrestling on the 12 th National Games of China, knowing that standing technique is essentially important to the result of a game, athletes focused more on standing attack technique so the confrontation in standing phase becomes a key point in a game. 2.In the confrontation of standing phase, grab-leg technique is a major method of attack which takes the dominant position. 3.On the 12 th National Games of China – the high-level freestyle wrestling game in China, some wrestlers from strong provinces of wrestling showed application of Ground Wrestling Skill in standing phase of the confrontation, while Shaanxi athletes showed no such trend.Conclusions of Study: 1.Shaanxi athletes are used to grab from a long distance when grabbing opponent’s leg, instead of keeping close with him. They showed as clearly not used to close grabbing in games. This shortcoming limits the attack and defense of grab-leg technique of Shaanxi athletes in standing phase. To compensate the vulnerabilities on grab-leg technique, the athletes shall get used to close grabbing and seizing and gain the ability to make use of opponent’s habits. 2.Shaanxi athletes are not good at discovering and making use of opponents’ regular patterns in games and their habits on using techniques. This shortcoming leads to the reduction of technique application of Shaanxi athletes. Coaches shall guide athletes to broaden their minds, to discover and make use of opponents’ habits in games and encourage them using attack skills. 3.When attack turns into a stalemate, Shaanxi athletes are poor in attack skills and are not able to turn the scheduled attack skill into other attack skills, so they are not good at techniques application in stalemates. Coaches shall improve their abilities of shifting attack skills in stalemates when grabbing is successful. 4.In high-level freestyle wrestling games in China there are tendency of using Ground Wrestling Skill in standing phase, while Shaanxi athletes don’t show such change. To enhance their abilities of using Ground Wrestling Skill in standing, Shaanxi athletes must free themselves from the limits of conventional Ground Wrestling Skill and improve their understanding to such skill.
