In modern elite sports, increasing attention is paid to the analysis of competitive performance indicators and the psychophysiological characteristics of athletes. This is especially relevant for sports that require not only strength and endurance but also a high level of psycho-emotional stability, reaction speed, and the ability to make decisions under stressful conditions, which provided the basis for this study. A video analysis of 50 matches and an assessment of the psychophysiological characteristics of 10 elite Greco-Roman wrestlers were conducted. The research results allowed us to determine the competitive performance indicators and psychophysiological characteristics of elite wrestlers. Cluster analysis identified three groups of wrestlers. Wrestlers in the first group demonstrated the best competitive performance indicators, which were associated with parterre attacks. They had well-developed spatial perception, an average movement frequency, relatively low complex reactions, and an insufficient level of short-term visual memory. Wrestlers in the second group had the lowest competitive performance indicators. However, these wrestlers showed high attack efficiency in a standing position and overall average effectiveness, allowing them to win matches. They exhibited well-developed short-term visual memory, a high movement frequency, an average complex reaction level, and strong decision-making skills. Wrestlers in the third group mainly had average competitive performance indicators and high effectiveness in standing-position actions. These wrestlers had well-developed spatial perception, short-term visual memory, a high level of complex reactions, and a relatively low decision-making speed. The practical application of the obtained results serves as the basis for developing training tasks for elite wrestlers, considering their individual characteristics.
