Purpose: Analysis of Competitive Activity of Highly Qualified Greco-Roman Wrestlers. Material and Methods. An analysis of 107 matches at the 2024 World Greco-Roman Wrestling Championship in non-Olympic weight categories (55 kg, 63 kg, 72 kg, 82 kg) was conducted. A total of 92 wrestlers participated in the study. The assessment of competitive activity was carried out by a group of experts (n=3). Statistical data analysis was performed using licensed Excel spreadsheet packages. For categorical data, the results were expressed in absolute numbers and percentages. Student’s t-test was used to compare indicators of wrestlers' competitive activity. Results: the analysis of competitive activity revealed that wrestlers scored the highest number of points in parterre for gut wrenches – 168 points (19,58 % of all points scored) and throws – 115 points (13,41 %). In the standing position, the most points were awarded for passivity – 132 points (15,38 %), pushing the opponent out of bounds – 75 points (8,74%), and takedowns – 72 points (8,39 %). The total number of points scored from standing throws was 152 points (17,71%). A significant number of match interruptions were observed due to challenges, rule violations, or passivity warnings, negatively impacting the spectacle of Greco-Roman wrestling. It was determined that the highest number of points was scored in the second minute of the match – 360 points (41,96 % of all points), while the lowest number of points was recorded in the sixth minute – 50 points (5,83 %). Conclusions. An analysis of the competitive activity at the 2024 World Greco-Roman Wrestling Championship in non-Olympic weight categories was conducted. It was found that Greco-Roman wrestlers scored more points in the standing position (60,26 %) than in parterre (39,74 %), and more technical points (68,53 %) than non-technical points (31,47 %). This difference was statistically significant (p<0,05) in both cases. It was established that wrestlers frequently execute simple technical and tactical actions that minimize the risk of counterattacks. It was also determined that the first period is crucial for achieving victory in a match. Additionally, the success index in standing wrestling improves with increasing weight categories, while the success index in parterre decreases as the weight category decreases.
