There were 85 participants from 19 countries participated in Çorum. The observation form prepared before the competitions with recorded by two researchers, technical analysis of the recordings were obtained. During the competitions, the scores obtained, warnings, winning types, successful techniques recorded in the technical analyze form. In statistical analysis, the percentage distributions for each parameter and match percentage rates were calculated. Statistical was performed by One Way ANOVA and LSD analysis of variance in group comparisons. The number of technical points taken for all weight groups in wrestling competitions were 789 points. The highest number of points was achieved in middleweight groups with 352 and with the maximum number of matches was made with 33 in the middleweight group. In the free style wrestling, ratio for one competition (ROC) was of received number of 10.38 points. Ratio of received points for one competition between weight groups found differences (p<0.05). The points of Middleweight group are higher from Lightweight and Heavyweight groups. Lightweight wrestlers 51.85% won by score and while 48.15% won by technical superiority. Middleweight wrestlers 48.48% won by score and while 51.52% won by technical superiority. Heavyweight wrestlers 75% won by score and while 25% won by technical superiority.

Wrestling is an important one of martial arts. Accomplishment in wrestling can be by transformation some criterions to high performance that are physical and physiological power, technical ability, mentality tactics, experience and motivation. Ability is so important and success is formed by combining ability with mentality and force. Education at least 5 year, training, national experience and experience in international tournaments for 3 years were necessary to be successful in international area. Best wrestling characteristics can be defined by the technical and tactical analysis of the successful wrestlers in the Olympics, World and European Championships. The countries have to protect and pay attention to the wrestlers that have these characteristics. If trainers know the effective techniques and systems, they can train their wrestlers better. Besides the physical and anthropometric characteristics, number and ratio of applied techniques in the competitions are important too (Atan and İmamoğlu, ; Kolukısa et al. -a; İmamoğlu et al., 2004; Kolukısa et al., 2004-b; Mayda et al., 2016). Analyzing the tendency of the development of wrestling in recent years, most of experts agree that for the development of wrestling, including as the element of the program of the Olympic Games, it is necessary to make effort for the increase in effectiveness of wrestling duels at preservation of high intensity of fight throughout the whole fight (Sandberg et al., 2007; Vardar et al., 2007). Ortega et al., (2006), they have explained that they have contributed to the development and acquisition of information to improve the technical analysis of the competition. There are many indicators available for statistical analysis of sport performance. The estimates made inform the changes of the performances of the coaches and the sportsmen. Match or competition analysis is important factor for athletes and trainers (İmamoğlu et al., ; Bostancı et al., 2017; Ölçücü et al., 2012). Mirvic et al. (2011) reported that after the events, feedback provided effective results in the use of positive transformations to improve performance of athletes. Mirvic et al. (2011) explained that this information gathered after the competition is open to European Journal of Physical Education and Sport Science - Volume 3 │ Issue 11 │ 2017 183 Osman İmamoğlu, Alperen Erkin, Muhammet Hakan Mayda, Onur 5ztürk, Ali Kerim Yılmaz 12th WORLD UNIVERSITIES WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP FREE STYLE COMPETITION TECHNICAL ANALYSIS discussing objectively, validly and consistently, and developing new possibilities by analyzing and evaluating the basic items of coaches and athletes. The analysis of competition functions has become an urgent situation in modern developed wrestling. Furthermore, the maintenance of individual problems in training has always been an important study direction for researchers (Tropin, 2013; Ryan and Sampson, 2006). After the preparation period, sports events are a very important test area for athletes and coaches. Because; end of the any training process the achievements are evaluated according to the results of the sport competition (Mizerski, 1972). With every passing year, the competition for prize places is becoming more acute at international competitions on Greco-Roman wrestling. It is connected with constantly growing competitiveness on the base of science and technical achievements’ introduction into training process and with perfection of sportsmen’s training methodic (Malkov. ; Hughes and Bartlett, 2002). It has been argued that some of the rule changes made to make wrestling more active may or may not bring benefits to the wrestling sport. Changes made on the style are not welcomed by wrestlers. In this study, it seems that the result of the rule changes made the differentiation of the score techniques. It is connected with constantly increasing competition on the basis of introduction of achievements of science and technique in the training process and improvement of technique of training of sportsmen (Shatskikh, 2013; Bromber et al., 2014; Iermakov et al., 2016; Tropin et al., 2016). The main objective of the present study was made an analysis of Freestyle wrestling technique during a 2016 year 12th World Universities Wrestling Championship.
