What is the penalty for a wrestler performing a legal throw improperly?

A wrestler performing a legal throw improperly typically results in a technical foul. This is because a technical foul is called when there is an infraction that does not involve any illegal action toward the opponent but instead relates to the manner in which a legal action, such as a throw, is executed. For example, if a wrestler executes a legal throw but does so in a way that places their opponent in danger or violates safety regulations, the officials may penalize this action with a technical foul.

This punishment serves as a reminder for wrestlers to adhere to safe and proper techniques while executing moves, ensuring the integrity of the sport and the safety of the participants. Other penalties like warnings, point deductions, or disqualification are reserved for more serious infractions or repeated misconduct, whereas a technical foul specifically addresses the execution of moves that may compromise safe wrestling practices.
