La Lucha en Samoa Americana
Extrañamente, a pesar de llamarse Americana, Samoa no está en América sino en Oceanía. El archipiélago de Samoa es un conjunto de islas ubicadas en el océano Pacífico pertenecientes a la región de la Polinesia. Fue conquistado, disputado y dividido por los alemanes y los estadounidenses. Finalmente una parte pasó a ser el Estado Independiente de Samoa y la otra un territorio no incorporado de los Estados Unidos. De allí el nombre de Samoa Americana.
En las islas existe desde la antigüedad una lucha tradicional samoana, conocida como «Siva tau» que combina técnicas de lucha con danzas y cantos. Luego la influencia estadounidense hiso que la lucha libre y grecorromana tomara protagonismo en esta comunidad.
Hoy existe la American Samoa Amateur Wrestling Association, que rige los destinos de la lucha olímpica.
A continuación brindamos un listado de las más importantes competencias a nivel mundial y los principales puestos conseguidos por atletas samoanos.
