What is kurash and how is it scored?
Kurash is a traditional wrestling sport from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and other Central Asian countries. Key difference from judo and sambo: holding the belt (kemar); throwing the opponent onto the mat without giving partner. Winner determined by: (1) Hammasini (Ippon equivalent) — full throw; (2) Yarim — half throw; (3) Points — when no full throw occurs. Round is 4 minutes; tied result triggers extra time.
