Women Wrestling 🤼‍♀️

Two women locked in combat on a wrestling mat, bodies intertwined in a grappling hold. The figures are rendered in dynamic poses, muscles tensed, often depicted with determined expressions as they battle for dominance. Colors vary by platform—some show neutral athletic wear, others use contrasting team colors to distinguish the competitors.

This emoji represents competitive wrestling, one of the oldest organized sports in human history. People use it literally when discussing wrestling matches, tournaments, or training, but it's also employed more broadly to describe any intense conflict or struggle—whether that's a heated debate, a tough negotiation, or a figurative battle of wills. In sports fandom, it punctuates commentary on wrestling events or highlights shared passion for the sport.

The emoji captures the raw physicality and skill of grappling sports, making it useful for fitness enthusiasts, wrestlers themselves, and anyone wanting to convey struggle or competitive spirit. It's sometimes paired with fire or celebration emoji when reacting to an impressive match.

Approved as part of Unicode Emoji 4 in 2016, this gendered variant ensures representation of women's wrestling specifically, reflecting growing recognition of female athletes across combat sports.
